I saw two cute little bichons in the park...dressed to the "nines", and I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of them in their handmade, velcro fastened "coat of many colors". I hope they make you smile. But the view from the rear was the cutest by far! Thanks for stopping by my corner of …
So much beauty, so little time!
I don't have much blogging time tonight, so any extensive writing is going to have to wait for another day, and I will limit today's post to mostly pictures. The sun was shining this morning, replacing yesterday's grey skies. I was surrounded by beauty on my morning photo walk, and I am excited to be …
Raising the bar
In two recent posts, I have written about the steps I am taking to try to improve my photography...one of my personal challenges for the year 2012. The steps include... Purging my computer files of dross (and there is a great deal of dross) Organizing the remaining photos, using Lightroom's collections, smart collections, and keywords …
A strange scene
Near the end of my photowalk this afternoon, I happened upon this man following some deer along the edge of the woods. The deer, normally placid animals, seemed alarmed by him and the little white dog that was walking with him. The dog was off-leash, against the park rules, and the four or five does …
The challenge begins
My first photo opportunity for today came when I arrived at the park and walked over to the pedestrian bridge to see if there was any action on the river. I can't tell you how grateful I am that the fisherman standing right beneath the bridge was wearing a bright red hat. How did he …
Personal challenge, part I
Several months ago I set some personal challenges for myself in the coming year. Because I felt that my photography was getting very stale, one of my challenges was to sharpen the saw...the photographic saw, that is. I didn't need to spend more time on my photography. I was already taking a daily photowalk and …
Hit or miss blogging
The weather in northeast Ohio has been very untypical this winter. Instead of our usual snow and cold temperatures, we have been enjoying mild temperatures and very little snow. When we do get some precip, it is more likely to be rain than snow. The mild weather makes it much easier to get out and …
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
I'm not convinced about the truth of that "truism", but I am sure it is not true for bloggers. I have been absent from my blog for most of January, and I apologize for that fact. It's not because I have lost interest in my blog. After all, if I lose interest, how could I …
There’s something about…
Kittens, ...and puppies, that makes me smile! I hope it has the same effect on you. A smile is a good way to start the new year. Happy New Year!
A cuddle of kitten
That's the title I gave to my daily blip on blipfoto.com. These cuddly little kittens first appeared under our woodpile on November 13th. I blipped them a week later, on November 19th, but then they disappeared. Nobody in our neighborhood has seen them since. The mother cat was spotted a few times, but we had …
