Buffalo

Friday, I went to Martha Clara Vineyard to photograph a BBQ. The vineyard has a large yard with a few buffalo. This guy was very close to the fence and I was trying to get him to look up.
He would have none of it.
 I went back to my car and geared up to go to work. As I closed the trunk of the car, he was looking right at me, he then lowered his head and went back to eating the grass. I guess he gets board with picture takers.

Fall Ferns

Well, we had some sunshine yesterday after a cold and wet weekend. 

I spent a few minutes looking for color along the Peconic River and found some beautiful back-lit ferns.

Autumn is when leaves get to play the part of flowers.

Sunday, my foster brother and his new girlfriend came out to visit. We haven't seen each other in fourteen years. 

Way too long a time not to see family. 

It was a great visit.

The Old Cranberry Bogs

I've been visiting and photographing this place for over thirty years. 

Where I'm standing, stood a large barn. 

Years ago, it was hit by lightening. All that's left is the small shed that stood behind the barn.

 I thought the HDR treatment would serve it well. I'll have to look through my 35mm stuff for old images.

The Polish Festival

Riverhead has a large Polish population and every year they hold a three day street fair complete with the crowning of a queen and a traditional Polish Wedding. We went today to walk the streets and see the sights.

It was all the colors that caught my eye.

Four today and four more tomorrow.

 

Walk around Riverhead

I was early to work today, so I took a walk around Riverhead. It was a nice day for a brisk early morning walk. Unfortunately, I wasn't having a visually creative morning. Still in a bit of a slump.

Today's post is from a downtown diner in Riverhead. The back few windows are covered with this silhouette paintings. I always loved them, as well as the typical diner food.

I used the Canon G10 on my walk today.

Red door

This door is from a railroad car at the Long Island Train Museum in Riverhead. Like a kid in a candy store I was attracted by the bright colors.

Main Street Main

Today’s photo is from Friday’s walk around Riverhead with my friend Perry. This man asked if we could make a photo of him, so I did. I love his tie.
