Caught Raw And Riggling

Taken at Connowingo Dam in Maryland. A foggy morning, but plenty of fowl activity.

The Heart Of Beauty

Another trip to Longwood Gardens looking for the beauty of nature. While in the orchid room I believe I may have found the heart of nature's beauty. It's amazing the detail nature provides whether it be on a grand scale or in the smallest places.

Taking Life For Granite

No matter the hard edges of society, the tenacity of life abounds.

Mausoleum Row

Of Waterlilies And Dragonflies

An evening out with inspiring friends. And a chance encounter in the natural world. Elements that keep us discovering our craft.

Thanks All

And Butterskies Are Free

Keep your head down, your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel and work your fingers to the bone. And what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.

So bask in the glory of another fine day. Where nature's abundant and butterskies are free.

This Bud's For You

For all you do

Curling Up With A Great Fern

All cozy and shy, getting ready for a grand display, this fern was so beautiful when I visited Longwood in May of this year.

A beautiful display

A pillar of strength

Papyroll

I was digging way back in my digital images. This was taken with a Vivitar 2.1 megapixel back in 2003. A time of wrapping my head around photography once again. Experimenting with shades and tones just photographing everything I find. A good exercise at any stage of photography growth.

Facing Nature

All this nice weather has stimulated my sense for exploration. Where better to explore then the world right in front of your face. So many micro-worlds and intimate designs. And sometimes we hardly notice and just pass on by.

Hurry Up Spring

What else is there to say

So How About This Winter

With the predicted snow tomorrow, I thought I'd post an image to raise everyone's spirits. :)

Block N Tackle That HDR

Hopewell Furnace was enticing and HDR's applenty were every where you looked. This is one I shot and processed and then converted to monochrome.

Just Rugged Outdoor Bob

Last year Mr. Lott was better equipped for the likes of this year. Found this rumaging through some not so recent images. Taken Feb 2009 in Philly.

Freeze Splash

Mother Nature's ice sculpting 101. Nobody does it better.

What An Ice Hole

Ice forms on the babbling brook

With nature's grand design

And the icy edge cuts through the the scene

As abstracts redefine

Dismal Dawn

Arise my country men, to arms to arms
There are battles to win for Liberty’s sake
No matter the snow and the winter’s cold bite
We mustn’t give up though our bodies all ache
It’s our time to suffer for the future’s insight
We’ll give to our children a world to unite

Sunshine Forged in the Valley

Golden sunrise Cabin Fever
The winter takes it's toll
Frozen fingers, cold wind lingers
We've got the shot...let's go
