A Whiter Shade of Pale

(Saturday's shot, a day late...)

The Colors of Winter

I was feeling kind of silly, and finally a bit happy, so I thought I'd capture it.

Oh, the face...where is the face? Here are the moody eyes of the day before yesterday.

The Stuff of Life

I'm sorry for all these home/store still lifes...I just did not get out this week, except to snap a few preliminary shots of some new locations. The weather has been grim and so has my mood. I hope to change that over the weekend.

I ask you, how many people do you know who have a shot of a vial of insulin resting on a stack of video games?

The lines between home and work get blurred when you own a store.

Blue

Daughter took these at an Anthony Green concert a month ago, or so. We finally managed to get them off my cell phone. She's quite proud of them, and asked if I would pimp them out here for her.

Who could refuse such a request?

More shots from our morning out.

Anniversary

...couldn't choose between these two, both have elements that I really appreciate.

I love that Boogieman always remembers that I like white roses best.

Another Friday at the Barn

The barn where my daughter rides and works is just a little respite from the world for me. I love taking pictures there and conversing with the horses. They don't say much which makes them good listeners. :)

p.s. my 28-135mm lens had to go in for repairs, that's why I'm all about the 50mm these days, not that I mind because I love this little lens.

Here are a few of the horses.

A Smattering of Color

I went looking for some color yesterday, feeling the fatigue of the neutrality in the wintery outdoors, and I found some. I was just goofing around shooting the nail polish on the kitchen counter and really liked how the yellow wall and shallow DOF of the counter's edge turned out. Sometimes I just like to be a little abstract. :)

Sundown Road

This section of Sundown road bisects a cornfield and there is a dirt road on which to pull over. I had dropped my daughter off in the early morning yesterday, for her work shift at the barn, and of course, took this road home. The early morning sky is just amazing.



This is not the first time that I've photographed this tree, nor, I suspect, will it be the last. But it is the first time I've crossed the road to take a picture of the barn on the other side. I'm struck over and over again at how much nature and agriculture are tucked into the nooks and crannies of suburban Maryland. Or maybe it's the other way around.

A Snowy Series

(I can't say I've seen many magnolia trees with snow on them.)
