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 112. The last two times I was at Eldridge Park there were lots of great birds there. Birds that I had been looking for the past three weekends. Birds that I would really like to photograph. However, during he last two visits I was not there for photography and I did not have my camera. Since I had been seeing good bird activity I wanted to… 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 110. I worked all day at my day job today. Then in the evening I was teaching a photography class at 171 Cedar Arts. In between I wanted to step outside our house and photograph the birds I had heard chirping all morning. The birds were busy outside pillaging our bird feeders. I figured it would be a good day to pop outside and watch them… 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 107. Today I was down at our local park, Eldridge Park, hoping to see some migratory birds. Each year I see some migratory birds stop over here on their way farther north. This year, however, I did not see many of the ones I was hoping to. One fun thing that can happen is even if you don’t see what you were hoping for, you can… 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 105. I thought I knew exactly what I was going to do for my photographs today. Our white husky, Mojo, had spent a lot of the day outside in the rain. I wanted to photograph his damp, muddy, and stinky self and talk about how much he loves the rain. But, Colton had other ideas. I called Mojo down to the bedroom so I could photograph… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 104. I have been trying to work in photography of subjects I don’t often work with. This cemetery is right near where I run frequently. Today on my way to go for a run I stopped and photographed the cemetery a little bit first. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do at first. I was just looking for something that interested me. The trees… Read More
