2-22-14: It was a beautiful day today and was able to get this little guy when I went out this morning with the dog. Most of the time, we all upload color photos of birds. This time, I thought I'd be a little different and processed this photo in B&W. What? Me? Grumpy? This guy looked...

2-21-14: My hyacinth bulb from last year is starting to sprout. Creature thought she'd check it out when I was trying to get a photo of it. Hmm... What's That?

2-20-14: You know when winter is getting boring, especially when it's 39 deg F and rainy. You Know You Are Bored When... Yes, you guessed it. This is the top of a bottle of dish washing detergent. Very sad, I know. :)

2-19-14: While out walking the dog this afternoon after work, I saw this doe and her fawn. They just stared at us as we were walking around. Jenny, my dog, was totally oblivious to the deer. We See You...

2-18-14: Warning: Opportunistic Feline Photo!!! I have no idea what Creature was looking at this evening, but she was very intense. It's Up There, Somewhere

2-17-14: I tried to post this yesterday but it the Website seemed to be down, so here goes: It was about 1 deg F when I walked the dog in the morning. After walking the dog, I came back out with my camera and took several frost photos. I liked this one the best. Frosted With all the cold...

2-16-14: While being stared at by the dog to get out of "her" recliner, I snapped this photo of Buster at the foot of the recliner. Buster

2-15-14: Although I am already tired of snow this year and looking forward to spring, here's a snow photo. :) Snowcapped

2-14-14: The photo of salt grains earlier made me think about sugar granules. Table sugar, AKA sucrose, are rather interesting. They do not have that nice cubic shape of salt crystals. I took this photo of some granulated sugar on a neon pink piece of paper. I used my D7000 with my favorite...

2-13-14: The rhododendron bush in front of the house is also what I call a biothermometer. When the temperature is inthe mid-20s F or higher, the leaves uncurl. As the temperature drops below that, the leaves get more tightly curled. I saw these leaves and figured it was in the mid 20s...

2-12-14: Deer do not walk in straight lines. How do I know this? I have been watching their tracks in the snow on my front lawn for several days now. They even do loop-d-loops. Why should anyone be surprised? They have the brain about the size of a clementine orange, if even that large...

2-11-14: I had to run out this evening and had fun with street lights. I was sitting at a red light when I took this one. My Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 IA lens (pre-autofocus) is perfect for this. I do love that lens but don't use it as much as I should. Waiting for a Green Light After posting...

2-10-14: I have about had it with cold weather this year. It's going to be -4F tonight and -12F tomorrow night. I am already thinking spring. :) I realize that live hummingbirds won't be back for several months yet, but here's some wishful thinking.

2-9-14: I did not have much of a chance to go out and get some photos, but I was able to catch a snap of this little guy. He had just landed after being at the bird feeder. Note the sunflower seed in his little feet. Got My Snack

2-9-14: I was sitting, looking at my spinning wheel and liked how the drive band was just draped there. Central Hub

2-7-14: If it's Friday, it's Photography class. 20 degree weather, and not dressed for going outside, 4 of my intrepid students wanted to go outside and take photos. It was a beautiful afternoon, sunshine, blue sky, and no wind. This was my contribution: Reflections in Triplicate The car...

2-6-14: The snow is beautiful but the ice can be more interesting to photograph. This is one, very frozen gutter.

2-5-14: 10 inches of snow later, and waiting to get plowed out. :) I should be dug out in another hour or so. Anyway, I always love the way snow sticks to things. This is the back of a wooden bench.

2-4-14: Waiting for the snow to start. We are supposed to get 8 - 12" by tomorrow evening. In the meantime, I took this photo a skein of very pretty hand-dyed cotton yarn that a friend gave me.

2-3-14: Ah, it's Monday, so it must be photography class. During photography class, we took photos inside the school. The IA (Industrial Arts: AKA "Shop Class") was a big hit. While the kids were annoying their peers with taking photos, I took a photo of the band saw. Converting it to B&W...
