One photo a day challenge: Day 231. In case you haven’t noticed by my photography here, I love dogs. Dogs are the best. I absolutely love sharing my life with dogs. Lots of people fall in love with a breed of dog. They then spend their lives living with dogs of that breed. In our house we have fallen in love with Bernese Mountain Dogs. But does anyone else find themselves falling… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 230. Plants are quite amazing. Flower specifically are astounding. They grow in an incomprehensible array of shapes and sizes. Flowers take on all types of structures and forms. Flower colors touch every possible shade and hue of the visible light spectrum. If you can imagine it there is probably a flower that exists like it. I am kind of at a loss for words to describe… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 229. Today is a continuation of the recent theme for these posts. Focusing on the recent additions to our flower garden at home. These Osteo flowers are beautiful. They seem to change colors as they mature and blossom. I love the shallow depth of field. The small slice of the flower in the foreground that is completely in focus. Then there are three other flowers in… Read More

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.
