Little Splash Of Purple

On my walk down to the creek today I came across a little splash of purple. It was a small patch of Violets and it harkened me back to the first part of my photography re-awakening. I quit shooting film because I had rounded off the camera’s film advancing wheel and just never sought out another camera. Well that was till my Dad gave me an old HP 315 and from there I was hooked. The next camera was a Vivitar 8300 and that camera cemented my love for photography and more specifically nature photography.On my way back I spent some time using a blast-from-the-past, the Canon S3is, to grab a few captures. It was a challenge because my outside cat Butterfly follows me around like a puppy, a pushy puppy, but like a puppy none the less.

A New Challenge

Today a friend requested that I take photos of the birds that come to their feeder. They want to have them turned into prints and they will hang them through out their house. Well after taken some causal captures of a friends girls this afternoon I went over and looked over the place logistically, where to position myself, find when and where the sun was the best, etc. Turns out it is not in the afternoon so over the next several weekends I will be driving out to their place and trying my hand capturing birds in photographs. Here is one I took this evening and I am looking forward to a new challenge.

Missing Me Damsel

With Spring  just around the corner I cannot wait to get some shots of my favorite things. One of the first will be my beloved Daffodils, go figure, and then hopefully some time soon some of my favorite flying things. I love when the bees show up and the Hummingbirds get up North but I really want to get some more pics of the wonderment know as a Damselfly. Till then here is one from last year.
