One photo a day challenge: Day 228. New flower day. Part I dunno at this point. The new flowers keep multiplying. I have no idea how that happened. But I still love having an ever changing selection of flowers to photograph. It is quite gloomy and overcast today. So I thought I would focus on the brightest of the newly arriving flowers. I trained my lens on this bright yellow False Sunflower…. Read More

One phot a day challenge: Day 227. So, some of my recent posts have talked about how I acquired some new flowers. And I have been trying to photograph a different flower from that new batch each day. Then share that new photos of the new flower on that day for this blog. I had been making progress on that. Not every day had featured one of those flowers but several had…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 226. Today was a great day. Spent the day out and about the Finger Lakes. Celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary with my wife. Beautiful day. Great temperatures for being outside. We visited Geneva. Walked 5.5 miles from Geneva along the northern shore of Seneca Lake through Seneca Lake State Park. Relaxed at the visitor center. Drove around to all the garden centers. Possibly acquired even more… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 225. I have always been interested in unusual looking flowers. My goal is to photograph flowers that look different than what is commonly seen. I have seen these flowers in the past. But I have never pulled the trigger on buying one. I just wasn’t sure I enjoyed the look of them enough. I wasn’t sure I could create interesting photographs of them. This time when… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 224. Ok. Back to the plan for today. Getting back on track with photographing the newly acquired flowers today. The plant I photographed today is a really cool Sedum that was flowering at the nursery when I decided to buy it. This particular plant is the Thundercloud, Stonecrop variety. I really like these types of plants because they have these thicker stockier stems. They feel like… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 223. My original thought for today was to photograph more of the new flowers that I bought recently. But when I was getting around to take photos this evening I looked out the window and there were nice clouds in the sky. We haven’t been having many night skies with interesting clouds lately. I decided to switch things up and photograph the sky instead of the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 222. In my previous post I mentioned I picked up some new flowers to use as photogrpahy subjects. So over the next few days I will try to focus on one of those new flowers as the days subject. I was drawn to this plant because of its vine like branching structure and the clusters of small pink flowers at the ends of the branching stems.

One photo a day challenge: Day 221. I have really been enjoying photographing flowers this year. But I have photographed all the flowers we have at home multiple times at this point. I really wanted some new subjects to photograph without having to travel. The other day while we were out I made it a point to stop at local plant nursery to buy new flowers. Specifically flowers I did not already… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 220. We went to the park for a walk today. There were rabbits everywhere. Seemed like a good time to make friends with the tiny woodland creatures. The rabbits at the park are not particularly shy. If I am slow and cautious enough. The rabbits will adjust to my presence and I can get closer. This is probably the most close up photo of a rabbit… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 219. So, a week after my big race my feet still hurt from blisters. Due to that I haven’t been able to get up and around too much to do any photography. Still wanted to photograph something a little different. I wanted to do a little birding. How to go birding without walking? Montezuma National Wildlife refuge is perfect. We can take the car and drive… Read More
