One photo a day challenge: Day 122. Today we spent the day bird watching at one of my places to go visit. We went to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge sits at the northern end of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. As we left in the morning it was bright and sunny. But as we arrived at Montezuma the clouds had settled in and it was… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 115. Yesterday was a gorgeous day. It was a great day for getting outside. The day was a perfect representation of what you want in early spring. If you are like me one thing early spring means to me is blooming flowers. Plants and nature coming back to life and growing after the winter thaw. I love plants and flowers. They are amazing in so many… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 114. Today was a pretty cool day of photography. Not because I created any particularly nice images. But because today I lead my first Photography Walkabout Class with 171 Cedar Arts. Today we were at Spencer Crest Nature Center. We focused on photographing birds. And we were fortunate to see a lot of those birds. We saw Canada Geese swimming on the pond. There were tree… Read More

But somehow I am not sure I have ever come here specifically for photography. Spencer Crest Today I spent time on the trails at Spencer Crest Nature Center.

One photo a day challenge: Day 98. I finally got around to visiting a place that I have been wanting to visit for a few years now. I was unaware of this place existing until the past few years. It’s so close to me yet remained invisible. I heard of it because I saw that a trail race was being put on there. I haven’t been able to run the race yet,… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 96. I really wanted to get outside and enjoy the day today after spending the day staring at a computer screen. It’s my birthday and I figured I deserved to get out and enjoy some nature. Not too many hours left in the day after work but we made the best of it. I wanted to drive up to Ithaca and visit the Cornell Botanical Gardens…. Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 85. We took our dog, Colton, out for a walk along the trails near the Chemung River in Elmira, NY. I of course took my camera as well. I had dog walking duties for the first half of the walk. Colton was being a maniac. It seemed he may rip someone’s arm off yanking on his leash. The hope was I could reign him in until… 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
