4-11-13: April showers.... Bull hooey! 40 deg F and rainy. :( The only thing that I could think of is lens porn... I love this lens. It's the 35mm f/1.4 AIS. Sharp as a tack. Photo taken with one of my favorite lenses: AF 85mm f/1.8. I think I have a thing for fast lenses. :)

4-10-13: In terms of taking any photos outside, it's a washout, literally. Right now, we are having a thunderstorm. :( One of my cats is getting very concerned. She doesn't handle loud noises well. Anyway, it was time for the opportunistic feline photo. This is not the eye of the...

4-9-13: When I got home I decided to take a walk around and see what would catch my interest. I took a look at the pussy willows. They are starting to open. They also had a couple of bugs crawling on them It's a Bug's Life I went over to my neighbor's pond to see if there was anything...

4-8-13: For those of you who remember my shawl post from yesterday. I did give the shawl to my friend, Mary, this afternoon. She loved it and was definitely not expecting it. I think she thought I was bringing over more movies for her to watch. As for today's photo. By the time I got home...

4-7-13: I finished this shawl on Friday. I will be giving it to a friend who just had a double mastectomy about a week ago. Shawl And, of course, the opportunistic feline photos. This is what happens when three of the four cats become bed slugs. :) The Triumvirate

In an article on the NBCnews.com Web site, they posted a link to the "Google Art Project." Very interesting. Definitely worth cruising around. George Eastman House - Google Art Project

4-6-13: Creature was blobbed out on the back of the couch enjoying the sun. I just loved the way the sun was coming in through the window and lighting her up. I used my 85 f/1.8. I do love that lens. This photo was processed in two ways, B&W, and cropped. My favorite is the cropped version...

4-5-13 Addendum: I have been waiting for this pair of mallards to be in the creek when I drive over the bridge. It has taken a months since I saw them last time. Finally! My only question is, where are the Robertsons of Duck Dynasty when you need them. :) You Go First

4-5-13: I couldn't resist this. Jenny, at her finest. :) A Dog's Life

4-4-13: Today was a wonderful, sunny almost 50 degree day!! I love days like this. To demonstrate that spring can actually arrive in upstate NY, I present a photo of...... drum roll...... CROCUSES!!! Yes, in full bloom! IT'S SPRING! Then I wandered around Endicott while my spousal unit...

4-3-13: The sun has been popping in and out from behind the clouds all day but that didn't stop me. I decided to take a ride way uphill this afternoon and came across these. At the very top, on an appropriately named road, Ridge Road, is this wind turbine. It was put up by whomever lives in...

4-2-13: One of the nice things about being on spring break for a week is that I can go out and take pictures any time. I am not stuck in a classroom on a nice sunny, but windy and chilly afternoon. This first one is just disturbing. I'm sorry, but it is already April. Seeing this just...

4-1-13: Addendum A little while ago, I looked out the window and saw our happy group of deer munching away on who-knows-what in the backyard. I grabbed my camera (D7000) w/ the 80-210 lens on it (see today's post, earlier) to see how it would come out. It was dusk, the light was a little...

4-1-13: Over the weekend I dug out a Tamron 80-210 zoom lens (non-autofocus) I bought during the dark ages of the last century. I purchased this lens way back in the early 1980s when I was working in a camera shop while in graduate school. I used it a lot before, but haven't used in over 3...

Early spring along the Susquehanna River: Leftovers

3-31-13: When I looked out the window this morning, I noticed that a section of my front lawn exploed in mole hole mounds. The moles were very busy last night, that's for sure. :) Below is a sampling. Mighty Mole Mounds

Okay, I will try again. Here goes:

3-30-13: I ended up down at the Susquehanna River. I have always found that is an interesting place to photograph. Group 2: As I walked down to the river, I saw this one area that, to me, exemplified how the river bank looks every spring. All though it looks so benign right now, you can see...

3-30-31: Today was such a beautiful day that I took advantage of it. Took a lot of photos, so I am going to break them into groups. Group 1: Before wandering out and about, I did not have to go far to see some interesting images. We have a lot of crows around here that never seem to leave...

3-29-31: I took a walk around the house and noticed live, green organisms growing!!! Yes, it really must be spring! My tulips are coming up. No flowers yet, but here's hoping. Sign of Spring Then, after dinner, I was sitting in the recliner and got this opportunistic feline photo: Chums
