One photo a day challenge: Day 304. I have been fortunate to have many plants that have been surviving well into fall now. These plants are outside on my deck. And they are just getting absolutely pounded here in upstate New York right now. So much rain. However, it has finally stopped raining. I thought this was a great opportunity to get outside and photograph these plants before they are gone. I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 295. I was looking for some fall colors. Unfortunately the colors around my area right now are kinda drab. It is actually hard to find bright yellow, oranges, and reds on the trees or even on the ground. But I did find some cool bright colors. Be open to something other than what you are looking for in photogrpahy. It is all out there if you… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 294. I walked into the woods looking for something very representational of fall to photograph. Some colorful leaves or something along those lines. But I was also just looking for something to catch my eye. Interesting shapes. Cool patterns. Anything that captured my attention. I walked and let my gaze drift across the woods. I have been fascinated with tree trunk textures lately. Then I saw… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 293. Today I wanted to do some macro photography. I wanted to find something with a seasonal look to photograph. I heard something rustling off in the woods. The sound drew me out to investigate. Never did see whatever was making all the noise. But I was drawn into the multitude of sights along the forest floor. I started looking for interesting leaves to photograph. It… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 289. My wife picked out this enormous potted mum. It is apparently the only one that I am doing a good job keeping alive. Not sure what I am doing wrong with the other plants but at least this one seems mostly healthy. It is such a beautiful plant. Flowers of multiple colors. Flower blossoms with multiple colors in one individual flower. I just love all… Read More

I really just wanted to photograph some trees and water. This nice stream and trees overhanging worked nicely. The leaves don’t really have any nice bright fall colors yet. But still a nice simple New York fall scene.

One photo a day challenge: Day 287. You don’t have to like everything about every day. But you should really be ready to accept the good parts of each day as they come to you. I have spent the past 10+ years commuting 1 hour to work and 1 hour home every single day. In the past year we have been able to work from home part time. It is the best… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 286. In photography things don’t always go to plan. Especially in photographing any type of wildlife. There is the simple fact that sometimes despite any planning your planned subject just doesn’t show up. But sometimes things work out. Today while outside mowing the lawn I saw a praying mantis. I stopped and photographed it with my Samsung S21 Ultra. The mantis did not seem to be… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 285. Wandering through the woods. Silently observing. Looking for an interesting fall scene. Leaves and trees. Some still up high some scattered on the ground. Leaves and trees alike. Tattered and torn. From one life cycle to the next.

One photo a day challenge: Day 283. When you feed birds seed at a bird feeder occasionally a bird or other critter will take a seed and drop it along the way. That seed may end up in an unknown and unexpected location. The seed may sprout and grow. The seed may become a fully grown flower. This year a seed took root in one of our plante4rs on our back porch… Read More
