This is a Chinese Rose. I’d never heard of such a thing until a little debate broke out on Instagram. Someone posted a picture of a flower that he called a Chinese Rose. It wasn’t. Even with my lack of knowledge about flowers I knew that. So off to Google we went. It turns outContinue reading “Chinese Rose”

Out Of The Woods
Yes. What do you see? Pictures like this one take some seeing or you’ll just pass them by. But, you must be careful. You may see the things that you want to see, not bothering with reality. We all do it. We do it in relationships. I’m not talking about romantic ones. I’m talking aboutContinue reading “Out Of The Woods”
In The Beginning
I keep saying that I really should work with a real camera rather than a cellphone camera. This picture is a great example of why. This picture needs about no depth of field to help those tall wildflowers to stand out. There’s a way to do it in the phone, but it takes along timeContinue reading “In The Beginning”
It’s All Good
Dusk is one of my favorite working hours. The blues are powerful yet quiet. Other colors just seem to pop in the sky. Whatever light left in the sky glows. It’s nature at her best. It’s a time in the day when the worries and stress of the daylight hours seem to melt away. InContinue reading “It’s All Good”
Help Me Understand
The dogs don’t understand. Holiday or not, they want their walks. Even the aging dog who sees things still wants to go for long walks, just not as fast. That’s okay with me. I get the chance to look around and see stuff. I saw this scene about ten minutes into our walk. Then… nothing.Continue reading “Help Me Understand”
Days That Used To Be
Over and over. I took a step back and tried very hard to slow down. I supposed that’s easier to do when I am well rested. For some reason after going to bed at an early time for me, 12:30am, I awoke very late at 9:40am. Everybody was up. They decided to let me sleep.Continue reading “Days That Used To Be”
Ponchartrain
Friday follies. That’s what they said years ago during a war that shall not be named. It meant that the generals held press conferences in which they lied to, and gaslight, America. The made statements like, “In order to save the village we had to destroy it.” Does that make any sense at all? MyContinue reading “Ponchartrain”
The Blue Distance
You’d think this is one of my layered pictures. It’s not. I just happened to line myself up with multiple bare trees. I did make a bunch of exposures because I didn’t believe it myself. A painter followed me here in WordPressland. I followed her back. Her work is good as it is, but sheContinue reading “The Blue Distance”
Good Tradition
Does this ever happen to you? You see something in a dream and then, there it is in real life. That’s how I came to make this photograph. My dream was weird and wild — as they often are — but toward the end as I was waking up I was enveloped in this purpleContinue reading “Good Tradition”
