Ordinary Things

It has been a beautiful week here in Central New York State. The bright sunny days have been unseasonably warm with temperatures near 80 degrees F. The only drawback to this time of the year is that our growing season hasn't start yet. The crocuses and daffodils are in bloom, but that is about all. The trees are still bare and the tulips will bloom in May.

So, I was in the yard looking for something interesting to photograph. I came across these dried weeds and photographed them in the late afternoon sun. I like to look at ordinary things in different ways.

Oh, I feel that I have so much to relearn about photography! I haven't been able to take photos since last fall and I really need to practice! Hopefully, May will bring those coloful tulips and other wonderful flowers to photograph.

I'm Back!

Sadly, I haven't had the energy to post in my blog since the middle of January. I was in the hospital at the end of January with an infection in my neck. I am doing better now, but it seems that I am still trying to get my energy back. And I seem to be picking up every virus that goes around as my immune system is not up to par. Hopefully, the spring weather will help and I can get back to doing all the things that I like to do.

I have been using some of the down time to get my photography equipment in order. I haven't been out and about with my camera since last fall. I really miss taking photos! I am going to focus on what I call "fine art" photos. I love to find common objects and show them in a different light: tree branches, old buildings, fences, the sky, flowers, and keys are just a few of the things that I have photographed. I feel as if I have "new" eyes when I am able to capture such images.

I have also missed visiting your blogs! I am getting around slowly, but I will be sure to check them!

I will be sure to post more photos soon!
