Forests are among my favorite subjects. Stands of trees appeal to me for many reasons. Interesting light and shadows, strong lines, warm colors or in this case a cold winter look. This particular forest is in the back of the condo and I have many pictures of it in all seasons in all of the…

Remember when we stayed in one of the Abe Martin cabins down in Brown County park? I do remember that time. That was nice right? It was during covid. Yeah, was the first time we’d gone anywhere for a long time it seemed like. The dining room was open and they were serving meals so…

This crew is here, spending the day at the condo today. They’re a year older than in this picture from last year but really no change other than that. School is going to start up again at the end of the month so it’s time to enjoy this summer break and all the freedom from…

I take a picture of every fire that we burn here at the condo. We create brush piles with tree branches and such that falls down or needs cut up throughout the year and then do a safe controlled burn to turn it into ash. I took this picture with my phone. It looks like…

They called it new urban at Prospect New Town development twenty years ago. I wonder how the neighborhood holds up in today’s modern world? Prospect was at the southern end of Longmont back then and not fully built out when I photographed it in January of 2003. I liked it for bringing something unique to…

This image is the purple bloom. I actually don’t know what the name of this flower is and in this image I’ve traded detail in the photograph for color and shape of the subject so we may never know what the actual flower was.

I love the animated gif files that my phone camera makes. They save the action in either bounce or loop mode. This image saved in loop mode even though it looks like bouncing going on. This was on the 4th around 8:30pm when only the youngest children still had energy to play in the pool.…

We’re hiking in Brown County State Park following a dry stream bed down through the drop. It’s early autumn but the trees have already turned their fall colors. The forest is filled with yellows, orange, red and some green colors reflecting in the low sunlight across the ravine. The forest floor is clean. Not like…

Toby the grey watches over his realm.

Story generated by ChatGPT On a crisp March morning, as the first rays of the sun pierced through the clouds, casting a golden hue upon the earth, I found myself standing on the shores of a serene lake in the captivating Chilean Lake Region. The air carried a slight chill, invigorating my senses and filling…

As generated by ChatGPT (openai.com) : The heavy rain poured relentlessly, drenching the landscape in a gray haze. It was on this gloomy day that I stumbled upon a photograph that caught my eye, capturing the essence of power and strength in the form of a massive truck. This image resonated with me more than…

The Outlaw’s Legacy (as generated by https://chat.openai.com/) In the dusty town of Redwood, there lived a man named Samuel. With his weathered face and piercing gaze, he embodied the essence of an outlaw. People whispered tales of his audacious exploits, yet few truly understood the distinction between an outlaw and a criminal. Samuel knew the…

Layers of light in leaves. This is same subject taken from same location as the picture from two days ago, but this was taken with the iPhone 12 and the other image was made with the Fujifilm X-T3. The phone picture contains much less data but I don’t notice when viewed at this size.

The layers of light are what appeal to me in this image. But then across the bridge there is only one small area of light in the otherwise dark woods. What’s back there? I don’t know. Am I looking through a window? It doesn’t matter. Just enjoy the view for what it is. Layers of…

American Scout at Slamology last week.

This live shot from my phone captures a tiny bit of the constant critter shenanigans happening at the condo. Each an individual with its own distinct behaviors but collectively, if they were ever to organize . . . Two years ago the walnut trees produced a crazy large crop of nuts which we collected off…

Another quad cab image from the Slamology show last weekend here at Indianapolis Raceway Park. To me this driver console is classic old school material. There is something odd going on there in the center of the image where digital meets analog. Climb up and in grab the wheel shift into gear and head up…
