One photo a day challenge: Day 76. For most of winter we had thick snow covering the ground. But it has warmed up considerably. And now it is nearly spring. The warmer weather has melted almost all the snow in low lying areas. Some snow remains at higher elevations. The snow is clinging in the forest. This small stream runs through the woods where we live. It is mostly free flowing water… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 75. Our cat, Monkey, is completely crashed out on the back of the chair tonight. I think she is mad at me because she loves the cat tower in my office. It is her favorite place to sleep. But my office has been off limits the last few days. I recently replaced my old desk with a new standing desk. Unpacking it and putting it together… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 74. I bought these carnations a while ago to use in this project. They are lasting a lot longer than I would have expected. I wanted to take advantage of them for some more photos before the blossoms do fade. For this photo I wanted to highlight the purple streaks at the edges of each blossom petal. To do this I got up close to the… Read More

More often than not lately the high temperature for the day ahs been above freezing. Spring is a week away. It is almost one of the best times of the year.

I was able to take my camera with me. Photographed a little of the scenery around the Chemung River. Later I went outside in our yard to play with our dogs. And… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 71. Most of the snow has melted in our area. I wanted to explore down by one of the local streams and see what I could find to photograph. The stream was flowing with all the extra run off from melted snow. All the vegetation that had died back to survive the winter was exposed now. Fallen trees were clear to see. Bare roots. Cracked tree… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 70. For today’s daily photos I went to one of our local parks. I spend a lot of time creating photography at Eldridge Park in Elmira, New York. Mostly what I do is photograph the local wildlife at the park. Today I wanted to shift gears and try to photograph the landscape there. The main reason that I don’t photograph the landscapes there is because the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 69. I have really grown to love plants. I like planting them and trying to grow them. Plants are beautiful and they help the wildlife we live with. This past year when it became too cold for the plants to survive outside I thought I had a plan. I wanted to bring all of my potted plants inside and keep them growing. I had a safe… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 68. I went for a run today and I brought my camera so that I could take some photos afterwords. The run went great. And the photography went great. I wanted to photograph this beautiful majestic tree in the park. This tree is one of the first subjects I ever photographed. I photographed it for the first time when all I had was a film camera… 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
