290: Back Yard Bird

Today was a rainy dull day. The type of day where I like to sit on the front porch and read my Bible and meditate. However today I decided to use the side porch. As I walked out the door Walla!!! I ducked back in the house, grabbed the camera and did the best I could with the existing camera configuration.

289: Front Porch Companion

Over the past few months I have not been photo active. This afternoon while meditating on the front porch, one of my companions showed up. I decided that as fall is approaching it might be a good idea to get a snapshot of my little friend.

213 : Figure Study -- A Gull

This supposed to be take and post a picture each day,and yes I have been very slack. This morning I made an attempt at stepping out of my comfort zone. I went to a location containing subject matter I was comfortable with but with a lens I seldom if ever use. Disaster, I had forgotten the lenses peculiarities. Later this afternoon I was back to my comfort zone and things got better.

And what did the gull have say during this shot? "Man you are ugly. Let me look at you from a different angle to see if it is any better. NOPE, NO IMPROVEMENT."

208: A Squirrel

It seems my little buddy is trying to, without cause, attack me. Let me ask one question considering the subject, who would spend any effort to get a "well done" image of that. Therefore, I feel compelled to show you a quick snapshot I did of the squirrel in his natural surroundings and light.

207: Attitudes

Well today was a wonderful day. I Got up early and went with a friend of mine to visit his father, who was in the hospital about a 100 miles away. The weather turned out beautiful, warm and sunlight was bright but not too harsh. After visiting for a little while, I decided to take a walk to let them have some time alone. Having my camera and in a new location I thought some images might be in order. I must admit I got some rather nice images I hope to share as time goes on but the guy who I rode with insisted DRAMATICALLY about showing the squirrels. In tribute to his attitude and to comply with his wishes here's the squirrel:

A Winning Attitude

31: Nature -- Wildlife(tame)

And the duck said’ “There is a turkey on the bank, go get your camera.”
