One phot a day challenge: Day 80. Today was a perfect day for birding. The weather was great. The sun was out. And the birds were active. One of the reasons we chose to live where we do is the access to nature it provides. We have a nice yard with woodlands surrounding us. And we have trees distributed across the yard for birds to move through. We have multiple bird feeders… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 79. The first day of spring was a beautiful day. Got out for a nice run. Checked a lot of things off the to do list. I saw that today was supposed to be nice weather. I tried to plan and be prepared. Seemed like it would be a good day to try to photograph some of the early spring birds that have been showing up… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 78. Recently I have been able to work part time from home. In our office I have a standing desk converter. Being able to stand at work at my desk makes being in the office much more bearable. After a couple weeks worth of working from home with no standing desk was taking its toll on me. It is beginning to look like an at least… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 77. Comet is such a good dog…..for us. Comet is our long term foster dog through a local rescue. He really is a good boy. However, he has some behavioral challenges. Comet doesn’t get as much love on the socials or in photos because of the way we have to manage his behavior issues. He doesn’t really love most of our other dogs and cats. Even… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 76. For most of winter we had thick snow covering the ground. But it has warmed up considerably. And now it is nearly spring. The warmer weather has melted almost all the snow in low lying areas. Some snow remains at higher elevations. The snow is clinging in the forest. This small stream runs through the woods where we live. It is mostly free flowing water… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 75. Our cat, Monkey, is completely crashed out on the back of the chair tonight. I think she is mad at me because she loves the cat tower in my office. It is her favorite place to sleep. But my office has been off limits the last few days. I recently replaced my old desk with a new standing desk. Unpacking it and putting it together… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 74. I bought these carnations a while ago to use in this project. They are lasting a lot longer than I would have expected. I wanted to take advantage of them for some more photos before the blossoms do fade. For this photo I wanted to highlight the purple streaks at the edges of each blossom petal. To do this I got up close to the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 73. We have been experiencing some warmer weather in upstate New York. Most of the snow in our region has melted. More often than not lately the high temperature for the day ahs been above freezing. Spring is a week away. It is almost one of the best times of the year. The time of year when all the new growth begins to emerge. Spring is… Read More

One photo a da y challenge: Day 72. Today I was able to get out and take photographs multiple times. I have not done that in quite some time. Went for a run with some friends early in the morning. I was able to take my camera with me. Photographed a little of the scenery around the Chemung River. Later I went outside in our yard to play with our dogs. And… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 71. Most of the snow has melted in our area. I wanted to explore down by one of the local streams and see what I could find to photograph. The stream was flowing with all the extra run off from melted snow. All the vegetation that had died back to survive the winter was exposed now. Fallen trees were clear to see. Bare roots. Cracked tree… Read More
