One photo a day challenge: Day 214. Outside looking for photography subjects. Walking gingerly because my feet hurt. Moving slowly. Walking gingerly and moving slowly can also help find good photography subjects. It I was able to get around easily and simply walk briskly by these tiny flowers I probably would have missed this tiny Yellowjacket slowly crawling along the tiny white flowers near the ground.

One photo a day challenge: Day 213. More rain here in upstate, New York. At least I didn’t get it during my race. It does make for beautiful photographs after the storm passes though. I love the water droplets reflecting the light in combination with the brightly lit yellow flowers.

One photo a day challenge: Day 207. I went outside after dark for photos. The thought was to use some lighting to illuminate the flowers on our deck. I wanted to photograph the Cosmos because of their thinner softer looking petals. Hopefully the light would have an interesting look under the right kind of lighting. The way this image of a pink Cosmo turned out really caught my eye.

Today’s photography subject was back to… Read More
