Ordinary Photo


Trish, a few days ago, asked if I ever post an ordinary photo. Certainly I do, and I thank Trish for the compliment. Anyway, here is an ordinary photo Trish! I saw something really interesting with my eye; however, it didn't translate well to a photo. Sept 9....few more weeks and this competition is done!!! yippie!

"In A Fog"


First day of school! I'm excited about a new year; however, it wasn't easy getting up at 5:15am!
I felt like I was 'in a fog' until I had coffee and began my morning drive. The day literally started with dense fog and I pulled into the Home Depot parking lot in hopes of finding something interesting. I like the bottom photo as the source of the bright light is a parking lot (street lamp)light. I purposely cut the light off to the edge not knowing for sure what the final image would look like...but I like it.

An 'Eeerriiiee' Morning


A dark beginning to the day as I was up very early. I wanted to take some photos with lights, maybe streaking cars or store lights/house lights; however, I saw none. Then I passed this spot, which I have photographed before. It usually has those round hay bales...well maybe that is no longer a bale? Anyway, the hay is gone but the fog was coming off the ground and headlights from a car, from left to right, seemed to make the fog look like it was "rolling" into the scene...at least to me. I set up the camera and waited for another car to stop at the intersection and I snapped once. This is what I got. Not a prize winner but pretty cool.

Another Colorful Evening




I'm always amazed how the lighting and colors change within moments during a sunset. I returned this evening to where I viewed and photographed a sunset a few days ago. The sun did not disappoint. With September being the last month of a 365 day photo challenge I am grateful for each "easy" day!

Another Beautiful Summer Day


With a few "dark", edgy photos in the last few days, I decided to lighten up today. I came across this bicycle while antiquing. Now that I am buying a house, shopping for furniture, paint, ladders, tools etc. is much more enjoyable! I hope everyone reading this post was able to enjoy the great weather!

AROUND TOWN--ASSIGNMENT- Doors and Windows..Next Week, Aged/Weathered










This house, which isn't actually that old, is in need of tender loving care. Perhaps it is too far gone to repair; however, at least the story behind the home's deterioration should be discovered.
I didn't do well last week with the Friday, Around Town, assignment so I'm hoping this attempt will make up for it. I like everything that is spooky and dark so this assignment was a pleasure. I tried to capture windows that were eerie and interesting at the same time.

Blk/Wht...Which is more appealing here?




Thursday's assignment was to take an image in color and in blk/wht. It is interesting to see how each subject/image compares. I like the blk/wht image here but it does not always work that way. What do you think?

Sun Is Setting On Summer


What a difference a few minutes can make when shooting a sunset. These photos are probably no more than 5-7 minutes apart. I've photographed here before and always find the sunsets to be peaceful.

All Aboard!





Today was a great day at the NYS Museum. With my nieces Jenna and Jamie, my sister and I took our time looking at all the interesting exhibits. We had a great time. The lighting was not suitable for photography; however, I was able to capture people on the NYC subway.
