It keeps flowing

by Earl on March 5, 2010

in Photography

Often during dryer periods this particular spot will have almost no flowing water but last weekend with the run off from winters heavy rain and snow there was a strong current. I sat, watched and listen for a while, finally raising my camera and make this photo.
I used multi-exposures process to retain some details in [...]

Fred’s Pond

by Earl on October 20, 2009

in Photography

Yesterdays’s post included photos of the backwaters of Fred’s Pond and I felt I should post photos of the actual pond.
It was raining most of the time but there was one period the rain stopped, the breeze died, and the pond’s surface took on a mirrors smoothness. It was during these moments I made these [...]

Backwater

by Earl on October 19, 2009

in Photography

I wrote three post this morning and deleted the first two which were rants. It was a case where once written their purpose was served and I moved on–never intended to post them.
I sometimes loose patience with people who deal in inflexible absolutes. Often complexity is best just acknowledged, there may not be one single [...]

Chores win out

by Earl on October 14, 2009

in Photography

Yesterday, I had things around the house I wanted needed to do but because it was such a beautiful fall day, cool wet weather forecast for the next three days, I decided instead to ride to a favorite local park for a little photography.
I’d forgotten the massive road paving projects underway. I’ve heard about 9 [...]

Pre-weekend

by Earl on September 25, 2009

in Photography

Earlier this year I took this photo of a Sea Lion sleeping soundly on rocks near the edge of the habitats water pool in the NC Zoo.
It seemed like a good photo to post on Friday afternoon when many are already thinking about the coming weekend.
I guess if animals have to be in captivity a [...]

Everyday life

by Earl on September 21, 2009

in Photography

As I selected this photo I was thinking that over the last week I’ve posted photos perhaps reminiscent of Norman Rockwell type scenes of American everyday life:

Friends or family on paddle boats on the lake – this post;
A family on a carousel ride in a park – Weekend Photo;
A young child playing in a fountain [...]

In-the-moment

by Earl on September 17, 2009

in Photography

One way I can always tell if I’ve been “in-the-moment” is when I finally check the time I realize hours have passed when it seemed only minutes.
Relating this to my post of yesterday on the topic of play, I would often spend the entire day outside playing. Yes, this was long before video games and [...]

Slumming with the Mallards

by Earl on September 15, 2009

in Photography

This beautiful male Wood Duck was found hanging out among the Mallards, making them look rather poorly attired. Many people consider the Wood Duck to be the most beautiful of all waterfowl.
Interestingly, the Wood Duck is one of only a few North American ducks that nest in trees. These trees are usually near water and [...]

Is this space taken?

by Earl on September 14, 2009

in Photography

The photo was taken Sunday and upon viewing this scene a question came up about personal space and how these turtles seem comfortable climbing all over each other.
I believe you have to be self-aware to have a concept of personal space or it could be when living in a shell your personal space boundaries may [...]

Weekend Photo

Yesterday my daughter and I went out for a short walk at a local park and I happened to notice this excellent foot bridge reflection at one end of the parks lake–you can even make out the construction of the underside of the bridge.
