I took the following photo at a Celtic Festival. I ask this young lady’s mother if I could take it and she said yes. I would not have otherwise but I think this is one of my best B&W captures. I was using the Bride’s Minolta X-370 35mm film camera.I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Daffodil Hill’s One Year Anniversary
This post is a re-blog of my very first post for Daffodil Hill Photography because today is a special day: Today is the One Year Anniversary of my blog Daffodil Hill Photography. This post is also the 250th post on this blog.
I believe I overshot my goal of ” just a picture or two or three once a week or so”. Last year was a very trying time personally for me and my Family and this blog, those who visited and who shared with me made the journey a little bit lighter and brighter. For that I want to say Thank You. Hopefully the next year will better for all of us. Till the next time remember to take the shot and always Enjoy!
The new blog is about my journey through pictures as a novice photographer. There will be some dialog but mostly just a picture or two or three once a week or so. Enjoy!
Two Is Better Than One
I cannot speak for the majority but I will say I am a better with others than by myself. I am much better with The Bride than without. A great friend is priceless and hard to come by as well. My Mom and my Dad were seen as one but yet they were two. I am better for that as well. The photo below my interpretation of two is better than one.
SP-350 on this capture.
Well There You Are!
The sun has been hiding this Winter and I was beginning to wondering where it had gone. Or if it was going to show back up! As you can guess, I was surprised to see it greet me and my friends this morning. Well there you are!
Silent Guardian
A lone corner post stands guard over a fence line surrounding a cemetery. The cemetery is old, as one can be called old, in a relatively young civilization. It observes and monitors the passing years as a loyal and silent guardian to the past.

A Living Monument Of A Farm’s Past
When I first spotted this old barn I felt compelled to take the shot. I see a lot of old barns and this one is fairly typical of most: Solid and built to last in it’s time but it’s time is past. The combination of snow and sunless gloom of this particular day could not, in my mind’s eye, diminish this old barns rich and honorable past. To farmers old and new here is a living monument of a farm’s past.
Fly By Wire
I took this photo last March out the window of my ride. I am at the long end of the zoom on my Powershot S3is. Not a great capture but not bad either considering it was the digital end of the zoom .
Not Quite There
Late Spring or early Summer last year I was trying out my new-to-me Olympus SP-350. I was, and still am, having a time learning the 350’s sweet spot for macro. Though I am somewhat conformable with the manual settings on this camera, I cannot consistently dial in clear macro shots. With that said I came across this shot of a blooming but not-quite-there Queens Anne Lace. I like it and I hope you do as well.
Following The Line
Passing By This Old House
I took this photo a little over a year ago in December of 11′. As it is often in life I had some decisions to make about big-to-me type issues.This house caught my eye and I had to capture this scene. The weather was cold and gray, just perfect to match my mood, on the day I was passing by this old house.
