One photo a day challenge: Day 123. Today I wanted to find something a little different to photograph. I was looking for something that is not the typical subject for me. I looked around my office slowly for a source of inspiration. Then it hit me. I share my home with all these animals. And some of these animals have their own furniture. One such item of pet furniture is in my… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 121. Today I continued with my theme of photographing our flowers. We went out and bought several new flowers to plant at home. I am always looking for something different. Something that catches my eye. I often like to get plants that I have never had before. This flower is very different than other flowers I have gotten. I can’t recall ever seeing anything quite like… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 118. I know I have probably written this sentence many times on this blog, but I am going to write it again. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. I especially love the time of year where everything growing wild is just starting to come back to life. Leaves are emerging and flowers are just getting ready to blossom. It is a magical… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 113. Today I spent the entire day outside with my hands in the dirt. It was hard work. But it felt good. I haven’t spent that much time working in my yard in a long time. I spent the day transplanting 10 trees from the spots I initially planted them as samplings years ago to their new permanent locations. Big projects like that are not really… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 111. Some days I plan in advance. I know what I want to photograph. Then I can go to a specific location. And I look for certain subjects. Other days. I get up early and work out. Then I get in my office to work on photography projects before work. After that its a full day at my day job. Then its running time after work…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 109. Tonight I set out exploring our woods a little more. I was out in the woods close to sunset. The sun was mostly out of view from our hill. The light in the woods was nice. I was drawn to the tree trunks that had other organics growing on them. I love the way the colors pop out among the gray of the bark. It… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 108. There are so many facets to this one photo a day process I am undertaking. Part one: It allows me to simply take more photos more regularly. Hopefully the fact that I am taking more photos more regularly helps me to grow and learn as a photographer. Is it happening? I don’t know. Maybe. But, one obvious effect that taking photos every day is having… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 106. I am not great with plants. I am especially bad at keeping potted plants alive. The likelihood of a plant surviving decreases exponentially if it is an indoor house plant. I love plants. And I really enjoy house plants. But it often turns into a cycle of buying new plants for the house after each previous plant dies a quick death. Orchids always say they… 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 67. I recently was finally able to capture some good images of our cat Monkey. She usually doesn’t cooperate for photos. After having that recent success I was inspired to try again. For todays photos I thought I would try to capture some more portrait style photographs of our cat Monkey. I really like to use my macro lens for pet portraits, especially at home. That… Read More
