One photo a day challenge: Day 180. Earlier this evening it rained. I was surprised that when I went outside around 9 PM there were still water droplets on the flowers. I wasn’t sure what I was going to photograph. As I looked around I examined the flowers and eventually noticed the tiny things. I did not expect to end up trying to photography tiny spiders on the flowers. It was a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 179. We had a little bit of rain today. The rain always creates nice photography opportunities for plants. This was the perfect time to get the macro lens out and take some close up photographs. I am planning to plant these plants in our flower garden. That location will bot be as easy to access for macro photographs. I am glad this confluence of events allowed… Read More

One Photo a day challenge: Day 178. Yesterday we went out and looked for interesting plants to bring home. One plant I found was this Flowering Maple. Not truly a Maple. But it has leaves similar to Maple Trees thus the name. I thought it was a pretty unique looking plant so I brought it home. I like how this photo turned out. The Maple leaf in the front out of focus… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 177. Back at indoor pet portraits today. I tried a little work with everyone today. I wasn’t popular. Almost everyone got up and walked away after a few photos. Our cat Paisley was patient with me today. I thought she was going to crawl up to me and rub her face right on the camera. She settled in and relaxed right up close though. I love… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 176. I have been doing a lot of outdoor photography lately. Today I decided to do some indoor photography of our pets. I decided to work with our cat Peaches. She is always cooperative. She can usually be found atop her cat tower. And she likes to sit relatively still. I photographed her close up using my macro lens with a shallow depth of field. I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 175. Today I ended up going out to photograph flowers at night. I knew that daisies had started blooming recently. I thought it might be interesting to photograph a nice bright white daisy against a dark background. Using a small light outside I illuminated the flowers. I went out into the yard to have a look. I did find daisies to photograph. And I think I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 174. Kind of a busy day today. But I still got my photo in. I actually couldn’t have planned it better if I had tried. Commute to work. Work at the office. Commute home. Change clothes. Go for a run. Get Groceries. Get home. Feed Dogs. Put away groceries. Eat some dinner. Somewhere in there take a photo? It actually worked out perfect. It was right… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 173. I enjoy walking through the wood with no real intent for my photography. Walking slowly among the trees. Slowly looking and seeing. I tread lightly. Stroll slow and easy. Eyes open. Trying to see. Trying to attune my senses to the forest. I want to become aware of the smallest things. The tiny details. Opening myself up to observe as much as I can. Trying… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 172. Spring is my favorite season because of all the new growth. But summer is not to be outdone. It is the beginning of summer and the summer wildflowers are blooming here in upstate, New York. Today I saw Bird’s-Foot Treefoil, Deptford Pink, and Daisies. And I also saw one of my favorite wildflowers Crown Vetch. I love these pink and white clusters of flowers. These… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 171. I have been unsuccessfully trying to grow milkweed in my yard for several years. I have scattered sees across my yard with no apparent success. People have even given me plants from their yards to try transplanting to our yard. That did not seem to take. On a few occasions milkweed plants have started to grow in my yard. On those occasions they have either… Read More
