The Elder trees welcome spring.

  I rode my motorcycle down to the lake yesterday and saw these old trees. I thought they were worth a few photos. When I got home and looked at them they seemed to tell a story to me. I don't know if anyone else sees it, but the old trees seem to be happy that spring  …

The new lens.

   I decided to go to the camera shop this morning and buy the lens I have been wanting. After getting it I could not wait to try it out. I came home and familiarized my self with it and then decided to go to Cataract Falls and try it out.  I must say I am pleased …

Trying out new camera.

 I have had a busy winter. Worked a lot of overtime and had little time to myself. The house I was renting finally sold so I moved. Now late spring is here and I plan to try and find the time for things I like. I don't have the view of the pond and acres of land for photos  …

Fall Sunset

 I have been working a lot lately and have not been taking many photos, but when I saw the sunset tonight I could not resist getting out the camera. A front had moved through with some high winds and a little rain. It was starting to clear at sunset.

The season is changing.

 It has been a long hot summer. Things are starting to change now. It is not fall yet, but it is definitely coming. The skies are crisp and cool in the evenings now. This makes for some different sunsets. They have a cool crisp quality to them.

foto-friday Storm and Sunset.

 I have been busy the last week and have not had the chance to take many photos, but I did manage to get a sunset photo I liked last week. Then last night a large storm went around north of where I live. It had a lot of lightning in it, so I went in and grabbed the camera.

Late Summer Butterflies.

 I had the day off today, so I thought I would grab the camera and see if there was anything that caught my eye. As I walked across the fields I noticed that I had never seen so many butterflies at one time. I chased around for about twenty minutes capturing photos of them.

Photos from the past week.

 I have been busy this past couple of weeks, but I did manage to get a few photos. There is not really a theme to this bunch. Just some things that caught my eye. I liked the first one because you can see the shadow of the wing on the left side.

Flying on the winds of time.

Rising up as to the edge of the heavens the winds carry life through the ages. At times they ease and things slow to the pace of a carefree day. Drifting by like leaves that fall into the river of no tomorrow. These days are few, but greatly satisfying.

foto-friday River Ferry and Giant Chicken

 Took a motorcycle ride the past few days. It was just to hot to take very many photos. Had to keep moving most of the time due to the triple digit temperatures. I did manage to take a few while on the ferry crossing the Ohio River though.

Weekend-Exposure, For when we complain of the heat.

 I have heard a lot of people complaining about the heat around here lately. I have to admit that I do my fair share of it. I work outdoors part of the time and it does get to me some, but I am not outside all day so it could be worse.

Weekend Exposure - More babies. Birds this time.

 In keeping with what seems to be the theme this weekend I am posting more baby animal pictures. I took these photos over the past few days. In the second photo the parent is watching me making sure I don't harm the baby.

foto-friday "Its Summer"

 I was out taking some photos today and thought about how many flower and bug shots I have been taking lately. Maybe I should start photographing some other things for a while. Then I thought. Wait a minute, its summer. That's what I should be taking photos of.

Late afternoon walk with the bugs.

 Noticing that the temperature was in the nineties with high humidity I thought it would be a good time to take a walk in the sun. I came across some blossoms on weeds that seemed to be a haven for all kinds of bugs.

foto-friday funky bugs.

 Thought I would share some photos of bugs I have shot this week. Some are pleasant to look at, but the one of the wasp is a little strange. I have not decided if it is a kill and food source or a young one being transferred to a new home in the awning on the back deck.

Bunny Love

 I sat on the back deck last evening and was amused by the antics of the local rabbits. I enjoyed watching them in their courting ritual. It was both sweet and comical. The male was following the female every where she went.

Storm clouds coming in.

  I noticed these clouds coming in the other evening. They looked pretty menacing. I grabbed the camera and waited for them to close in expecting a horrendous storm. I like the photos, but the storm turned out to be a dud. A few sprinkles was about it.

Bugs, Flowers and Butch. Worlds Smartest Dog?

 I thought I would post some more photos of flowers and their relationship with bugs. They go hand in hand with nature. Also, I just like bugs. Sometimes when I look at them in photos I see them in an entirely different way.

Foto-Friday, The other side of the sunset.

 I enjoy taking photos of sunsets. They are some of the most beautiful sights ever seen. Every once in a while I look the other way though. Yes I am talking about looking east during a sunset. There is sometimes a golden glow cast on everything in the east.

Some Paintings By Request

 I mentioned I painted a little, (not very often). I have no style or training. I just have an urge to paint once in a while. It makes me feel good about myself. I do it as cheaply as possible also. These are all canvas stretched over card board.
