Fishing

Shot from my visit to the park near home. Found this gentleman fishing with his buddy on a wonderful spring evening.

Interestingly, the slant on (almost) all the dried pods on the branches seems to be parallel with that of the slant on the tree’s trunk.

Macro me

And the daffodil said – “macro me” 😉

Lake Whetzel

Had some time to spend by lake Whetzel this evening while waiting for my daughter to get back from her chess club. I think this park/lake has a lot of offer. So you can see more pictures in the days to come 😉

It was a perfect spring day and I saw folks fishing, walking, and families taking pictures at the park.

I like the way this “reflection” shot turned out. Bonus to this shot – those kids and Mom “marching” into the frame.

Have a great weekend folks!

Bangs

A quick portrait of my daughter as she was working on her math homework this evening.

I purposely bumped up the ISO on this shot as I was working on limited window lighting.

Looking up…

As much as I like to shoot flowers in their natural settings, there are times when I need more control on POV/lighting – read that as “pluck” the blooms…LOL

It’s one of those days and had to gently pluck this daffodil for this indoor shot. Shot this by placing the daffodil close to the window and went for a low POV. It was a bit cloudy when I shot this and the background turned our as I wanted.

Now the bloom sits on a vase in our counter top, besides being a good sport for this shoot 🙂

And those grains…call me silly or egghead – had to bump the ISO for my earlier shot and never realized to change it back until I had this downloaded.

Stressed

That’s the leaf on our plantain tree that has been indoors during the entire winter.

As you could see it’s under stress (as seen by the sap on the leaf) and it’s raring for some fresh air. I think it’s about time for this to be left out in the patio.

POV

Quite a cold/windy day and I tried shooting hyacinths in my front yard. I want to experiment with a different point of view (POV) and really liked the way how the petals were curling up/down.

Had this shot lying in my front yard while enjoying the pleasant smell from the hyacinths on this cold and windy evening.

Fibonacci spiral

This is sort of a Fibonacci spiral as explored in a park near home 😉

Caught in the wind

Another shot from my visit to the park yesterday. Here is something I almost missed at the first glance and came back (immediately) as I thought there was a photo opportunity that I didn’t want to pass.

It was quite windy and this “old” leaf was still hanging in there – perhaps for this shot 😉

Have a great weekend folks!

New Vs Old

Shot this at a park close home today.

Not a clue about this tree/bloom but was delighted to see the seed and new bloom in the same branch.
