Three Ducks on a Stick

Day 13 – Three Ducks on a Stick My photo subject search took me back out to the neighborhood lake today. From my first vantage point, I thought I was out of luck, I could see a few seagulls floating out in the middle of the lake. Yes, I said seagulls. The only problem was, [...]

More Pansies

  Day 12 – More Pansies I set out today with a plan to take pictures of some of the birds that frequent my yard just before sunset each evening. Of course not one bird cooperated with me. The cardinals saw me and flew away before I could snap a photo, the robins that had [...]

Rainy Day in Durham

Day 11 – Rainy Day in Durham Today I decided to give creating a panoramic image a try. It was raining again and I do prefer to stay relatively dry so I found a good vantage point in a parking deck. I was able to capture several recognizable Durham landmarks. A couple of my favorite [...]

Lights on the Waterfront

Day 10 – Lights on the Waterfront I just could not resist posting another picture from last week’s trip to Wilmington. All of the trees in this waterfront park area were decorated with Christmas lights. The effect was beautiful. I am so glad that I took those few minutes to wander before heading home.   [...]

Posing with “Cuddly Ball”

  Day 9 – Posing with “Cuddly Ball” It was one of those dark and kind of dreary days around here. Not really pouring down rain, just wet. That inspiration to go out to look for the perfect shot was no where to be found. No worries, my little fuzzy model to the rescue. Always [...]

Hanging on to Christmas

Day 8 – Hanging On to Christmas I love to decorate for Christmas each year but I despise packing up the decorations when Christmas is over. Today was the day to finally put the yard critters away until at least late November. Here’s one last shot of them before they were boxed up.        [...]

USS North Carolina at Sunset

Day 5 – USS North Carolina at Sunset I spent this gorgeous January day with friends at Wrightsville Beach and  in Wilmington.  Just before I left for home, I drove down to the Wilmington riverfront and caught this picture of the battleship USS North Carolina as the colors from sunset were changing over to the [...]

Moon Rise

Day 4 – Moon Rise As I set out to look for photo subjects today, I noticed the moon was just rising above the pines. The sky was such a beautiful blue and the trees were soaking in the afternoon sun. I quickly decided this was the shot of the day. ( I had already [...]

Shivering Pansies

Day 3 – Shivering Pansies Our first real “Arctic Blast” of the season has arrived. The wind is bone-chilling. As I looked around for a photo subject, I noticed the pansies that I planted in the mild days of Fall now seemed to be shivering as they looked to the sun for warmth.      Photo [...]

Reflections

  Day 2 – Reflections I ventured out to the neighborhood lake as the sun was going down, and caught some nice cloud reflections on the water. The geese were all coming in for the night as well so that added a nice touch as well.        Photo Information      Date and Time: 01/02/2012 [...]
