That feeling when every photo you take has some sort of technical or style deficiency. That moment when you tell yourself to shut the hell up, enjoy the damn view and have a little faith in your...

Do you ever feel nature is reaching out and trying to talk to you? No, not after you have some E. I found this leaf curled into this beautiful cursive S, just hanging out in the dead remnants of what was probably a lush vine in the Spring. Sssss….unira....

Tips of the leaves of a garden plan I have in my front...

I have no idea what these are but Jeremy and I found some on one of our walks and spent some time trying to photograph it. Jeremy’s trying to use his phone. I liked his results but they’re not on here. This is what I wound up with, with the best bokeh ever behind it. :] Here are a...

Lavender. Now that’s a color I didn’t expect to see in the fall. I wish we had actual fields of lavender somewhere I could go shoot. Until then this random purple stuff’ll have to do. :) My good friend the smart weed makes an appearance. God knows what this is. Or this. But hey,...

Another series of images I took last weekend and the weekend before of fall glory! :) The leaves are like an inch deep in some parts. Fall can be even more stunning with some serious blue sky. I think looking up is one of my favorite things to do this season. As well as producing bokeh....

Or more appropriately a juniper bush It’s so cold… but I have to force myself to go out and experience my seasons....

I love this photo so much. I took it this Saturday and everything about it came out perfect. I love the little bokeh created by the glow on the berries… and the color is spectacular. I can just see it as a 60 x 40 on my...

The autumn colors are coming out in stunning rainbow hues when matched against a stark blue sky. Hello beautiful fall....

The last couple of weeks had me thinking this autumn was destined to be less than spectacular when it came to the colors in the trees. Everything appeared to be succumbing to a drab metamorphosis of dull greens and browns instead of changing flamboyantly as I had hoped. I had resigned myself...

The last of the spring colors have slowly begun to...

Some lovely carnations at my mom’s...

Remember all those firecracker pictures I posted? Doesn’t this grass seed remind you of that? In the evening, when the sun is setting, everything is on fire....

Some things are beautiful when they’re all tangled… Or when they’re nice and ordered… … because they never stop being clearly what they...

My deck houses two things. Some plants and some spiders. My chinese bellflower has grown so much and is ready to put out blooms! Here’s its first bud. I am super excited to see them bloom! I got to relax a bit last night but today’s been a whirlwind again. I’m not sure I’ll be...

I’ve been pretty terrible at posting this week.  You’ll have to forgive me. I have been getting destroyed at work, at boot camp, and at home trying to get things ready for a few events happening this weekend. Boot camp was so bad yesterday I had to hobble to my car to get home.  Worst...

A little lichen is growing alone on it’s own spacious branch. Love me some bokeh! Also should I start featuring more people posts on here? Believe it or not, most of my photography is of people and events but this blog feels like it’s more me-centric.  I have another site in the works, a...

The beautiful ferns are all over the parks near my house. I’m going to start doing some running on my own. We only get out and run about once a week at boot camp. I’ve improved quite a lot over the last six weeks but I suspect I can do much better. Since I have such heavy exercise M-Th,...

There was a pretty sizable storm last night pummeling my windows with hail and rain. This morning, since the storm front is gone, the weather cooled off again.  Ah, Georgia weather.  So random! I’ve noticed all the spindly little moss reaching to spread their spores everywhere....

It’s kinda hard to work with a Lavender filter.   I’m loving the dreamy look a lavender wash can give a photo but I’m definitely having a problem with getting my eyes to like it on this piece. Photography for me has a lot to do with what the image evokes within me more than how...

The bushes in front of my house are putting out beautiful new leaves.  I’m working with my kit lens at 55mm f/8 again. This weekend I might visit the botanical gardens again since their tulips are in bloom....

The Platycodon grandiflorus, also known as the Chinese bellflower, has recently decided to sprout in one of my little garden beds again. Last year I tried playing the role of the homeowner and planted a few of these knowing only that I loved their cute balloon shaped buds that eventually...

Am I ready for summer to return? How many times am I allowed to say...

I was at the Atlanta Botanical gardens a few weeks ago. Having usually gone during the the flowery and green months, I found it a challenge to shoot all of the dead things and still try and capture a little beauty. In a way, the imagery is melancholy, as none of these roses had a chance to...

Okay, I am actually coming back from an unexpected hiatus. This past weekend was so awesome that I didn’t have any time to queue up all the posts for this week.  Thursday isn’t too late is it? These little beauties are on the Suwanee Greenway, growing over the trail. By the way,...

I’m starting to play with soft color layers. I really wish I had gotten that dark basket from the top right out of the photo....

I went to the Botanical gardens on Sunday. Even though everything outside was dead, the weather was glorious and the flowers inside were still blooming beautifully.  I’m trying some of my newfound processing skills on this batch of photos and will be releasing something for you soon!...

I’m trying to expand my definition of ‘beautiful’. Maybe the death of something can be beautiful...

Dried weeds on a nature trail. Although winter is my least favorite time of year, this time I’m spending more hours outdoors and I’m discovering a few more beautiful things about the...

This is an older photo from a year or two ago. I’m never outside when it’s bright enough for photos, because of work and some other stuff but I still like flipping through some of my older rain photographs. Maybe I should bring my camera and take a walk during lunch. We have a great trail...
