One photo a day challenge: Day 180. Earlier this evening it rained. I was surprised that when I went outside around 9 PM there were still water droplets on the flowers. I wasn’t sure what I was going to photograph. As I looked around I examined the flowers and eventually noticed the tiny things. I did not expect to end up trying to photography tiny spiders on the flowers. It was a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 179. We had a little bit of rain today. The rain always creates nice photography opportunities for plants. This was the perfect time to get the macro lens out and take some close up photographs. I am planning to plant these plants in our flower garden. That location will bot be as easy to access for macro photographs. I am glad this confluence of events allowed… Read More

One Photo a day challenge: Day 178. Yesterday we went out and looked for interesting plants to bring home. One plant I found was this Flowering Maple. Not truly a Maple. But it has leaves similar to Maple Trees thus the name. I thought it was a pretty unique looking plant so I brought it home. I like how this photo turned out. The Maple leaf in the front out of focus… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 177. Back at indoor pet portraits today. I tried a little work with everyone today. I wasn’t popular. Almost everyone got up and walked away after a few photos. Our cat Paisley was patient with me today. I thought she was going to crawl up to me and rub her face right on the camera. She settled in and relaxed right up close though. I love… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 175. Today I ended up going out to photograph flowers at night. I knew that daisies had started blooming recently. I thought it might be interesting to photograph a nice bright white daisy against a dark background. Using a small light outside I illuminated the flowers. I went out into the yard to have a look. I did find daisies to photograph. And I think I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 173. I enjoy walking through the wood with no real intent for my photography. Walking slowly among the trees. Slowly looking and seeing. I tread lightly. Stroll slow and easy. Eyes open. Trying to see. Trying to attune my senses to the forest. I want to become aware of the smallest things. The tiny details. Opening myself up to observe as much as I can. Trying… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 172. Spring is my favorite season because of all the new growth. But summer is not to be outdone. It is the beginning of summer and the summer wildflowers are blooming here in upstate, New York. Today I saw Bird’s-Foot Treefoil, Deptford Pink, and Daisies. And I also saw one of my favorite wildflowers Crown Vetch. I love these pink and white clusters of flowers. These… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 171. I have been unsuccessfully trying to grow milkweed in my yard for several years. I have scattered sees across my yard with no apparent success. People have even given me plants from their yards to try transplanting to our yard. That did not seem to take. On a few occasions milkweed plants have started to grow in my yard. On those occasions they have either… Read More

One photo a day: Day 156. It was a scorcher outside today. I did not venture outside much to create photography. I did brave the bright midday sun for a few minutes though. Fortunately we have planted quite a few flowers this year and they are mostly right on our front and back porch. This saved me from having to be outside exposed to the sun in the midday heat. While photographing… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 154. I’m not really a big fan of rainy days. I love to be outside. But I have a hard time getting motivated to go outside if its a rainy day. I think I just like simplicity too much. I don’t like the extra work or preparation that is needed to go outside and enjoy yourself on a rainy day. Being prepared for the rain so… Read More
