One photo a day challenge: Day 250. The sun had set on another day. But, it wasn’t dark out yet. Time to create some images. I was hoping to photograph some of our flowers. That is, if there was still enough light. The goal was to photograph the flowers without artificial light tonight. Using my Nikon 60mm macro lens. The f stop was set as wide as possible. Still a little too… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 249. Flowers have so many aspects that make them beautiful and interesting. The petals of a flower often play an important role in this. I really like flowers whose petals have an irregular look to them. Petals that seem to be randomly distributed. Even more interesting is when a flower has petals that are arranged in a more even and regular pattern, but there is an… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 248. I was out surveying the yard. Looking for photography subjects. Photographing various plant life. Using my macro lens. I eventually made a circuit of our back yard. I settled in to photograph the cluster of pink phlox that have been growing there for years now. I photographed different compositions of the phlox flowers growing there. Single blossoms and groups of flowers. Then I noticed this… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 247. I have been out exploring all week. So I have not been home to photograph my flowers growing at home. It is so fun to see that even after all season I still have flowers just blooming now. So now that I turn my focus back to the flowers at home I see a plant that is now finally come to its time of year… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 246. Today was a fun day of exploration. It simply amazes me just how much nature there is to see. I saw so many new sights. All without driving more than 2 hours from my house. Every time I daydream about escaping to some far of place I need to remind myself of all the wonders just outside my door.

One photo a day challenge: Day 245. Today I spent the whole day exploring waterfalls. And for me exploring means photographing as well. I always knew that our area was blessed with many beautiful waterfalls. However, I tended to focus mainly on waterfalls at our amazing state parks. Today I spent the day in Ithaca, NY. A place with amazing water features. I have explored the state parks there quite a lot…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 244. Today was a fun day. Explored some new spaces for me. Hiked 10 miles in an area I have not spent much time in. Explored two different areas to try to capture waterfall photos. First I sought out County Line Falls. The water flow was quite low there. Not the best for photography on this particular day. Then I ventured over to Onanda Park to… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 243. Today I spent the day photographing different areas along the Finger Lakes Trail. The Finger Lakes Trail is an amazing and beautiful trail here in upstate, New York. The are many places I have been fortunate enough to run on the trail. These places are so beautiful. They deserve to be photographed. I have not had as many opportunities to photograph these places as I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 242. I had a fun adventure today. Today I explored a trail that was new to me. Last year when I set out to explore some nature areas in Pennsylvania using my newly acquired Purple Lizard maps I learned about even more places I wanted to explore at some point. I was exploring the Pine Creek Rail Trail when I learned about the Golden Eagle Trail…. Read More

Camping for us usually means activity and adventure…. I am mostly a homebody. I am definitely not a lets go out and do something kind of person. Not a night out on the town person. Things I would rather to do than go out include but are not limited to: Relax at home and binge watch a TV program I have been waiting to see. Sit and read a book. Maybe even… Read More
