One photo a day challenge: Day 195. I have been seeing more snakes in the yard lately. I always enjoy seeing all varieties of wildlife in our yard. Even the snakes. Despite seeing more snakes in recent days I haven’t had any good opportunities to photograph any of the snakes recently. Today I went outside thinking I would try to photograph some of the flowers I don’t get a chance to photograph…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 194. I wanted to do some photography that I haven’t been doing as much of lately. I set out into my yard to hopefully see some birds. The birds were out there flitting about along the edges of the woods and moving across my yard. I just needed a few to get close enough for a decent photograph. There were woodpeckers, finches, and flycatchers moving about…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 193. I am pretty sure one thing most people can agree on is no one likes rainy days. String a bunch of those raining days together and your whole week is shot. Rain is not a bad thing. But rain can make enjoying the day a challenge. Especially if you are the kind of person who likes to get outside and do things. Some people are… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 192. The opportunity to create this photograph arose out of completely unintentional circumstances. I wanted to plant some bulbs over winter to bloom this year. Planting them in pots to keep them inside so they would hopefully grow faster. I don’t like to waste resources. I had several pots of dirt from plants I have planted in the past. Many of these pots still had the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 191. Today I just went out into the yard with my camera and my dogs. I didn’t really have a plan for what exactly I wanted to photograph or how I would go about taking the photographs. I knew I would like to get at least a few photos of our dogs because it had been awhile since I had been outside with them to play… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 190. This plant became very wilted after our recent heat wave. It looked like it was going to die. The flower heads all drooped and died off. Then all the leaves turned brown. I really wasn’t sure it was going to survive. Then I noticed some new growth. Stems with flower heads began to emerge. It looked like the flower was resilient after all. I was… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 189. I had my eyes on the sky. Watching the clouds move. Shifting and changing shape. Clouds moving here and there. Letting a little bit of light through. The light at just the right angles. Stood outside in the drizzling rain. Watching color meld with clouds. Cloud cover set to glow by faint light. Then more storm clouds slowly rolled in. Smothering the soft colors. Putting… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 188. Today I spent a few minutes walking in the forest. The forest is so lush with green right now. The trees with growth along their bark. Fully leafed out trees. Understory fully grown. All of these contribute to the emerald green beauty of the forest. But today I was interested to see if there were any wildflowers blooming in the forest this time of year….

One photo a day challenge: Day 187. Here is a different take on the new coneflower I bought. In this photo I combined the to flower blossoms positioned against the post sunset sky. I did some post processing to enhance the details. I also worked on brining out the colors in the sky.

One photo a day challenge: Day 186. Yesterday I wrote about one of my favorite flowers that I have been able to successfully grow at our house. This post is the exact opposite. This post is about one of my favorite flowers that I admire frequently at flower gardens everywhere. I see them frequently. They are beautiful flowers. And I love that they attract pollinators. These are also one of my favorite… Read More
