Hope you enjoy it .

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful.

Happy Saturday!

I have three images for you today.  Yesterday morning I went down to the river as I wanted to get some early morning shots of the river with the soft morning sun.  Unfortunately the sun did not cooperate because of a dense fog.

I thought about waiting it out but who knew how long that would take.  Then this lone duck swam by barely visible to me and I grabbed a few shots.  I was lucky enough to catch one in mid quack.  🙂

Since I didn’t want to come home with an empty card I looked around for other images.  The fog was so thick that I could only see a few feet out and then nothing.  If you have any floaters in your eyes it was a weird experience because against that stark gray background every floater in my eyes became very visible.

I didn’t capture these images to be in black and white but I tried this one and I liked it much better than the color rendition.  There wasn’t much color to the original but the removal of all color made it a more interesting image in my view.

That’s it for today.  Thanks for stopping by the blog.

Enjoy your day and be careful.

Happy Friday!

I have three images for you today all of them are of my favorite little model Gabby.

november-04-2016-10-30-16-b

We were at Angie and Ben’s last Sunday for dinner and she had been putting frosting on some home-baked cookies.  So I had to do a little touch up on these shots to cover up all the frosting that some how made it from the cookies to her face. 🙂

She actually likes it when I take her picture and I can usually get a few good captures before she starts posing and giving me the “cheese” smile.

That’s it for today.  Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful.

Happy Thursday!

Only one image today for you.  I know it’s another Blue Heron.  I have photographed hundreds of Blue Herons over the years and posted at least fifty of them on my blog, but you know what?  When I see one I can’t resist stopping the car, walking 1/4 of a mile just to photograph one more.   In other words, I never get tired of photographing wildlife and just as enjoyable is watching them. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful.

Yea Cubs!!!!

Happy Tuesday!

Another one shot and done post today.  Nothing on my mind other than a brief comment about this image.  I like it because it catches the transition of the leaf turning and eventually dropping to the ground.  Such is life.

You can see more detail if you click on the image.

Enjoy your day and be careful.

Happy Friday!

I have three images for you today.  I got out of the office at a decent time last evening and there was some nice soft light to work with.

I drive by this pond everyday on the road home and for some reason last night it caught my eye.  The sun was hitting it just right and with the gray sky I had to pull over and grab some images.

october-27-2016-a

I have not been able to capture any harvest images this season, which is unusual for me.  I was looking at past years and I always have some at this time of year.

I saw these two workhorses in the field their work not quite done and the soft yellow sun was bathing them in a wonderful light.

october-27-2016-b

I ran out of light pretty quickly as there was a lot of clouds in the sky.  This was my last opportunity so I saw this lone tree in the distance and decided to capture the image.

That’s it for today.  Enjoy your day and be careful.

Happy Tuesday!

Just one image for today.  I went out yesterday looking for something interesting to photograph.  Either my head wasn’t in the right place or I wasn’t because I couldn’t find anything.  I went to all my usual places but there was just not any activity.

So I photographed the lone tub boat working its way down river rather than come home with an empty card.

That’s it for today.  Enjoy your day and be careful.

Happy Monday!

I have three images for you today.  I shot these last Friday night at Asbury’s annual Halloween Parade.  Ben had to work so Angie brought the kids over for dinner and then we went over to the parade route.

october-21-2016-1b

We had to wait for what seemed like a long time but finally saw all the flashing lights and heard the sirens (boy did we hear the sirens) from all the emergency vehicles.  I think every emergency vehicle Asbury owns was in that parade.  🙂

october-21-2016-1c

Josh and Gabby made out pretty good from all the free candy the parade walkers threw and handed out.  Austin didn’t understand all the fuss but he wanted to be in the middle of it.

That’s it for today.  Enjoy your day and be careful.

october-21-2016

Happy Sunday!

I have three images for you today.  Last Friday I was invited by my good Friend Mike to play the beautiful General Golf Course at Eagle Ridge.  This is one of the prettiest and more difficult courses in our area.  It’s expensive as well but I got to play as a guest so it was a double treat for me.

Truth be told I would rather photograph a golf course then play it.  So I took the Nikon D500 & 18 – 200 dx lens with me.  I know that my playing partners do not want to wait for me to take images so I have to grab them when I can.

I forget the number on this hole but this is one of the most beautiful golf holes on the course in my opinion.

october-21-2016-a

I do know that this is hole number 9 coming back to the club house.  I wanted to take an image from the tee box as it was actually a better shot but there wasn’t time to do so.

The temperature was a very nice 58 – 60 degrees with just a little breeze to keep the bugs away.  Puffy clouds with a wonderful blue sky.  The leaves were changing and each fairway offered another photo opportunity.  Unfortunately I couldn’t capture them all.

october-21-2016-b

I liked this tree that was on the tee box of hole number 12.  There was a slower group in front of us on this hole so I had time to photograph the tree.

It has been almost ten days since my last post.  Things at work have been so hectic and busy that when I leave for home it’s getting dark or all I want to do is go home.  So I’m hopeful that things will slow down a little and I can get back to a regular photography routine.

That’s it for today.  Thanks for checking out the blog.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
