Longer

One of the last pictures from that walk around Ledges over a month ago.




I seem to be in a water mode lately. You’ll see. Or you have seen.

All These Little Gestures

Another photo from my trip to the Ledges State Park.




I’m planning on visiting a waterfall in Minnesota this weekend. It will be quite a bit larger. Hopefully still frozen.

Rich Chords Over a Bass Pedal

I feel like it has been too long since I published a picture of Naima.

So I’m going to remedy that:




Naima does love new fallen snow. Probably because she doesn’t have to snow. Oh wait… I never have to shovel snow either!

I might have gone a little mad with the HDR toning on this image. Its not like I’m a maniac or a raving thing. I just go a little mad sometimes. We all go a little made sometimes. Haven’t you?




Sometimes just one time can be enough.

Check Out this A Hole!

When you read the subject of this entry, you probably thought that this post was going to be about the Iowa Caucuses, but actually it is an image from my most recent trip to visit Nate and Laura.

Behold!


The A in Manhattan

Laura tells me that it is quite the thing for people of Manhattan to get their picture taken in the “A hole” of the giant Manhattan sign that graces their skyline.

For the record, I’ve never consider the blank parts of letters to be holes. I guess that is just me.

Reclaimed

I might have mentioned in the past that sometimes photographing clouds can make me… well sad isn’t the right word… but I haven’t always enjoyed clouds to their full potential because of a long chain of reasoning that fires instantaneously in my head.

While I don’t want to go over the story again I feel that I’m over it now.

Any way, cloud picture. To some degree.

Time to look at another flower picture from the Iowa State Fair…


Coneflower at the Iowa State Fair

I wish I had this color of coneflower in my personal garden. That is something I may have to try to remedy in 2016.
