Day 105- Cratered

I shot something similar to this last year, except that that rock was easily 3 times the size of this piece of granite. And then there's the weird cratered quality of this one. Found it out in the driveway. Can't quite figure out what might have made those indentations!

Day 55-Macro Geranium

Another snowstorm outside = focus on the bright, beautiful colors inside!

Day 44- Up On the Rooftop...

This is a "cheat" shot from yesterday. Seriously, do you see the arrow in the ice pointing up? What's the larger message here anyway?!

Day 21- Morning Moon

This beautiful winter scene greeted me this morning as I looked out the window!

Day 3- Dusk

The days are getting longer! Okay, maybe by just a few minutes. But when I can come home to a tad bit more daylight, and be treated to some beautiful colors in the sky... it's all good!

Splotchy

We've had about three days of snow, rain, and sleet. I found this interesting pattern on our driveway this week. The snow looks like it was hit by small hailstones, although that's not exactly what happened!

Frostiana

Found this frosty form on one of the windows at my mom's house. Apparently some moisture has made its way in between her windows. That part isn't welcome news. However the formation it resulted in almost looked like frosty little elves dancing!

Subaru Love

Almost two months with the new car. Yes, the commercials are right- it's Subaru love!

Thursday Night Lights

My daughter had a nighttime field hockey game tonight. Took this shot at twilight. Couldn't quite figure out the mysterious reflection on the left, although it almost looks a little ghostly!

College Visit Weekend

So it's been a few days since my last post. Hopefully these 6 photos will make up for the lack of daily offerings! This weekend we drove to upstate New York to check out a college with my son. Along the drive we encountered an entire ridge of over 200 wind turbines! This is a very small portion of what we saw- just staggering!

Then there were the copious amounts of Canadian geese flocking in several open areas. (By the way, that's Quebec in the not-too-distant background.)

Then this morning we awoke in the Lake Placid area to some beautiful scenes poking through the morning fog...

...the above here is my favorite...

...and this is a calming scene as well...

...finishing up with a view of Whiteface, home of the 1980 Olympic ski jumping. Tonight we're all back at home, and enjoyed learning about a college many hours away, but are thankful to be home just the same!

More Maples

Another fall capture. Not feeling particularly creative today- fighting off a head cold.

Grasshopper

While back at the lake today I caught several shots of this grasshopper. When I viewed this shot, the first thing I thought was that it looks like it was taken in a disco or something! In reality, it was a lucky shot of the critter on my daughter's pink inflatable water mattress. Still pretty wild, though!

April Snow

I shot this just yesterday without snow. Such a cruel joke by Mother Nature!

I'm afraid this daffodil's down for the count.

This could be pretty... if it weren't April!

Azalea

The start of April vacation means I can take my time shooting and likely post much earlier in the day! My azalea bush looks so beautiful right now. Not sure how happy it'll be with the forecasted rain and snow for this weekend. Alas, April is still a winter month here.

Udderly Curious

This was my first try at shooting cows (figuratively speaking). They looked extremely curious as to why I'd stopped my car and walked up to their fence! It is clear that to do a better job I will need a zoom lens of some sort. Not happy with this shot, but it's a baseline, I guess.

Daffodil

This is yet another reason why I enjoy spring so much. Color!
