After all else fades

by Earl on October 23, 2009

in Photography

I made this photo in the rain a few days ago. All the other flower on this bush were well past their prime while this one seemed at it’s peak–still bright after all others were faded.
Note: Today’s my furry little buddy, Fosters, 3rd birthday. His seizures are under better control and he’s back to near [...]

Thoughts of this blog

by Earl on October 22, 2009

in Blogging, Photography

I always think of brightly colored leaves in the fall but a close second autumn thought is the rich color of Mums (Chrysanthemums). My wife always insures there are wonderful blooms in our yard this time of year…just one of the ways she brings beauty into my life.
My reading each day covers a wide range [...]

Moments of Peacefulness

While there are signs that summer is drawing to a close and fall is waiting just around the corner, there’s still time for summer blooms.
There’s an abundance of insects for flower blooms this time of year. Perhaps for the insects it’s like a last minute rush to the store for supplies. I had to be [...]

All about nothing

by Earl on June 18, 2009

in Observations

I began a post yesterday and deleted it because it was about nothing. I know Jerry Seinfield can created a TV show and make millions all about nothing but I’m finding it difficult to finish one post. Where’s the justice in that?
I’m reading all about Apple’s release of the iPhone 3G S and [...]

Flowers in white and purple

in Photography

Last week I mounted my Nikon 200mm Macro lens on my Nikon D300 to make a few macro photos. I’ve not used this lens much and this is the first time I’ve used it with the D300 but the more I use it the more I like it.
It takes a more attention to detail regarding [...]

Letting Go

by Earl on June 13, 2009

in Photography

I’m a planner. I like having a basic idea of what’s suspose to happen and where things are going. This doesn’t mean I haven’t or can’t be spontaneous, letting things develop without foreknowledge, but that’s not my normal mode of operation. I’m more comfortable with plans in part due to my controlling characteristics–yes, one semi-neurotic [...]

The start date for my SoFoBoMo ‘09 book is May 2nd–that’s the date of the earliest photo to be used. I’m still working on a final title for the book and will update my SoFoBoMo account and here once it’s decided.
It’s mixed blessing actually nailing down a start date, since it also means I’ve [...]

“Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.” – Henry Ward Beacher
Then this, I think, must be a happy bunch of flowers…
