3-28-13: I was trying to do something with candles, tripod, available light, and my new remote shutter release. I had this frog votive candle holder and after playing with it for a few minutes, I came up with something. The light is coming from the votive candle. The remote shutter release...

3-27-13: I was going to go outside this afternoon when I got home from work, but it was snowing... :( That resulted in taking advantage of the opportunistic feline. Spooky was sitting right next to me while I was checking my e-mail. He is now engraved in zeros & ones forever. :) I have...

3-26-13: My new camera bag finally arrived. I bought a Tamrac. I have had them before. They last for years and years. My last large one wore out a couple of years ago but when I had only one camera body, I could get away with a smaller one. Now with the second camera body, I ran out of...

3-25-13: I came home this afternoon and spousal unit wanted to show me the rope score of a lifetime. It's this thick rope that is about 1" in diameter. So, guess who takes photos of it? Me, of course. The rope was still in the back seat of the car, but I figured it was my best opportunity...

3-23-13: Today was a much better day. I went for a walk with the dog, hoping to see something green popping up through the grown ground and snow. I wasn't so lucky in that endeavour, but did get a few photos, plus a very nice walk. This one is of a stream that I have looked at numerous times...

3-22-13: It has been a long week at work. You can tell my mind has been reduced to a puddle of gelatinous ooze, as I try to teach science to resistant adolescents. The following speaks volumes about the condition of my brain by Friday afternoon... Peeps on Parade P.S. They were really...

3-21-13: Although it was in the mid-20s F when I got home from work, the sun was shining, so I decided to go outside for a little bit. It is spring, as we all know. :) I have walked passed this very sad looking bird feeder for years. It definitely is in need of renovation: So Much for Fast...

3-20-13: Although it may be spring, technically, it still wasn't that pleasant outside. :( Anyway, I have this little blue, round, handblown bottle on the shelf by the window in the living room. What intrigued me was that inverted reflected image in the stopper. I did not notice how the...

Here's my new set of blooms on my indoor hyacinth:

3-19-13: The yucky weather continues. That made me look for interesting subjects inside. The plant that keeps on giving. My hyacinth has sprouted a second, be it smaller set of blooms. They are definitely not as fragrant as the first ones. Hint of Spring I also took the opportunistic...

3-18-13: Well, I guess winter is not over yet. We were just teased. :( It figures, though, because my spousal unit took the snow blower off the tractor yesterday and put the mower deck on today. I think he's hoping for spring. Anyway, here's the proof that winter is still hanging around...

3-17-13: You know spring is on its way when the seagulls have flown up the Susquehanna River from the Chesapeake Bay and have taken up residence in the parking lot of a nearby shopping mall. There is both a Walmart & Sam's Club in this mall. Maybe they want to become "gulls of Walmart." :)...

This is an old train trestle that is no longer used. It was really a side track, spanning the Susquehanna River that was used to deliver coal to the now defunct Goudy Station in Johnson City, NY, a coal-fired electricity generation plant that was closed in 1999. Obviously, the tracks are not...

3-16-13: While my spousal unit was at an appointment this afternoon in Endicott, NY, I decided to spend some time wandering around. Endicott is the town that IBM started in back when it was The Time Recording Company, where they made punch cards for time clocks. They later became International...

3-15-13: Spent the day at the most useless, awful professional development seminar that I have gone to in a long time. The only good part was having lunch with some co-workers and friends. They made the day. Anyway, when I walked out to my car, in the field nearby, was a pair of geese. I...

Adding my bridge photo to the thread... I scanned this in from a B&W photo of the Roebling Bridge in Lackawaxen, PA. I took the photo in June 1986. What caught my eye was that as I was standing on the PA side, I could see the NY side with the "state speed limit 55" sign quite visible. I took...

3-13-13: Today was one of those weird weather days when it is sunny one minute and the next, dark grey snow clouds blow in. I had to stop at the grocery store on my way home from work. After coming out with the few things I needed, I got in the car and noticed how the water droplets looked on...
