Sandpipers

I tried to photograph these Sandpipers as they feed from a puddle the incoming tide made on the beach. I was very warm yesterday and I took a few minutes to go to the ocean before a hard night.

Short walk

I went for a short walk yesterday. My Meniscus prevents me from longer treks.  I came across these little white flowers and as I got close I noticed their orange centers.

Possibly Wild Aster.

Bamboo leaf

It was a beautiful day on Long Island today, Sun shine, warm breeze and clear blue skies, just a perfect spring day.

I came across this patch of back lite bamboo and felt like a kid in a candy store.

I used the Canon 5d mkII and ACR for this image.

A walk in the woods.

 

I took a long walk in the woods this morning. It felt good, not too cold, no wind and as of February first

hunting season was over.

I was inspired by a black and white photo I saw earlier today, so I headed out looking for monochromatic subject matter. All I kept seeing were rabbits. At first I thought it was the same one running back and forth on the trail I was following. But there were more than just a couple of them. I couldn't get a good photograph of any of them. Way too fast for me.

I love isolating things in nature. This weed and the light were my favorite find today.

Made with the Canon 5d mkII and processed in photoshop.

 

Pine Cone

I took a short walk today at one of my usual trails. I didn't come across anything of interest but a couple of pine cones on some Black Pine Trees. This is the first one I made a photo of. The way the sun filtered into the wooded area and lit the cone made it stand out against the out-of-focus background. I thought the detail was unreal.

I made this photo with the Canon G20 and processed it with photoshop.

The cold, the wind and the rain.

What a cold and rainy day. I’m glad yesterday was better. We had Thanksgiving at my sister-in-laws yesterday. They made a fire in the outdoor stove; it was a beautiful day.

Today’s photo I made yesterday morning when I ran out to get a couple of things. I used the Canon G10 and processed it with ACR.
