I took my Canon S3is and Canon Sx10is out to Grandfather Apple tree for some photo therapy. As I had very little sunlight left, and wanted to get few shots the bees and the blooms, I decided to take some fast macro snaps of them at the long end of the zoom. Here is one from the S3is.
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.
I took this shot with my Canon S3is before the last two nights of heavy frost. I have not been up to look at them but Daffodils are pretty tough so I am hoping for the best.
Spring is finally waking up around our neck of the woods and I like it! Drab gray and browns are giving way to lovely greens and yellows. I am going to enjoy the new birth of color as I go about my day. Till the next time, Everyone has a wonderful day!
I took this photo of the inside of an old one-room school house. I tried several angles but could not get “the shot” so I will live with is one of a window to another time.
Since the Sun is still on sabbatical, I found this picture I took several years ago to fill in notwithstanding.
I am once again trying to make sense of my lack of organizational skills. Was it something I was born with or is it a learned behavior? Whatever it is I am amazed at what I find when I go back through the way- back- files looking for something post worthy. I took this one several years ago in the Spring obviously and felt my spirits lift a bit, because I am looking out this very same window and all I see is snow and gray! I can only imagine what the cats are thinking but I would be asking “What is that thing in the sky”?
I took the photo from yesterday’s post and changed it from Sepia to B&W. I kind of like it don’t you? I shot the original in sepia with my Canon Powershot S3is.
