One photo a day challenge: Day 272. I love planting perennials that will return year after year for us to enjoy and for our wildlife to enjoy. This perennial is currently growing in a pot until I transplant it to a safe place in our yard. Many perennials only bloom for a relatively short period of time over the course of the year. But this flower has been blooming long and strong… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 271. We arrived home at just the right time. Put the dogs out. Got them fed. Then it was sunset. I wanted to try incorporating some of the flowers from our flower box into the image today. What do you think? Did it turn out ok?

One photo a day challenge: Day 270. Today was a beautiful day. The weather was nice. Mostly sunny. Temp was pretty perfect. Moring strength training routine. Worked the day job. Mowed the lawn. 30 minutes on the bike trainer followed by 30 minutes running. Cooked spaghetti for dinner. Relaxed on the couch watching a Netflix show with my wife. The dog started barking outside at just the right time to cause us… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 268. We took our dog out for a drive to relax. I wanted to go relax somewhere and watch the sun set. Our dog Brynn loves car rides. She isn’t super mobile these days so relaxing at the park watching the sun set seemed like the perfect opportunity to get her out doing something. We went up to Watkins Glen State Park. Set up our chairs… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 267. I wandered in the woods a little bit today. Just looking for a composition I like. Trying to find the right light. Subjects that fit together. The texture on this old downed log caught my attention. I liked the stream in the background. Soft and out of focus. Then I maneuvered my composition to include the two branches of flowers. The flowers are soft and… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 266. Today was a mostly rainy day. I didn’t really know what I was going to photograph today. But when I got home from work the skies had cleared. No more rain. The clouds were brightly lit. Seemed like a good day to wait and see how sunset turned out.

Yet another rainy day here in upstate, New York. But as I have said over and over, that means I am blessed with the opportunity to photograph more flowers with water droplets. Today For many of the shots I actually took a few flower pots off the porch and set them out in the rain. It was still raining and I didn’t want to go out in the rain. And some of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 262. I have used my macro lens so much this year. It has been so much fun. If you love photography and do not have a macro lens, I highly recommend one. There are so many fun and interesting things to do with them. Today I stumbled across this grasshopper just sitting on the fence. The grasshopper stayed there as I was putting away our garden… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 259. Today I set out with my macro lens. I walked along the edge of a field with bushes. I was looking at the leaves and flowers. Finding subjects to photograph. I began to notice all the pollinators moving amongst the flowers. There were bees, hornets, wasps, and a cool looking beetle. The bees were moving too fast. It was challenging to compose and image and… Read More

I went from a place I have hardly ever been to to a place I have been to more than most. Today I visited Watkins Glen State Park. Probably my most visited location if not my most photographed. I have actually been here quite a few times this year. Probably more than normal for me. Today I wanted to make a trip to Watkins Glen State Park for a very specific reason…. Read More
