Photographs Not Expected, But NICE!

Selfie

Tree Flurry

          It is interesting to review one's phone photos and find some that would usually be deleted, but become favorites.  The above are two of those.  They are not touched. I do not own Photoshop. I LOVE finding these among the others .....

Earth Day and Mother Earth

  

Cliff Dweller

Tube Top

   I remember the first Earth Day.  I was in high school and the bus I was on passed many of my enlightened teachers walking to school on the side of the road.  Mind you, there are no sidewalks in Fox Chapel, so I looked right down on the top of their very "close to the road" heads.  I suspect that I thought more highly of those I saw walking.
   Since then, I have volunteered to pick up litter in local areas and have generally tried to be kind to our Mother Earth.  Most often, Mother Earth has shown herself to me through trees.

I am the worst moon photographer!  But, I do love the silhouettes of trees in front of it on a cold February night.  

Photograph of the Week

Tree Reflection

I didn't go very far from home for this shot.  Actually, it is my birdbath right on the deck that once again offered an interesting scene for me to capture.  In this abstract photograph, I found most of my favorite things - water, trees, leaves, reflections and a sense of wonder.

Let me know if I can photograph some of your favorite things.

Photograph of the Week

Cloud Edges

I love photographing clouds, especially when they offer a wonderful contrast to a silhouetted piney foreground.  At the cabin, we get the fun reflection of the sunset on clouds to our east.  This is an example of that.  

Ahhh! The Merry Month of May ...

Yesterday, I took an afternoon walk in the Squaw Run Creek.  It was beautiful and very cooling!  I saw two snakes, many minnows and some insects.  The Creek's shape and depth changes seasonally.  More photos in the flickr photostream.

What a fall scene I found in Maine last week! The weather was great with the colors at their prime. The company was fabulous!! More pictures this weekend.

Grilling in the Leaves

When I opened the grill tonight, a mouse jumped out of a nest of leaves! It escaped, so I lit the grill. While it warmed up, it smelled just like the leaf burning piles of my youth . It reminded me of fall on West Waldheim Road during the 50's. Sigh!! I shot the photos above and on the flickr photostream as I grilled chicken breasts for this evening's dinner. A beautiful fall evening over the ravine.

Potter County Summer Trip

Three Blind Mice

Lichen Action Figure

Stump

The eastern coast hot spell was evident while we were in Potter County, PA. It was hot, hot, hot! I never thought I would be glad we got an air conditioner for the cabin, but I was. Enough on the the weather..... the birds were quiet, there were very few bugs and it was great to read on the porch, take pictures and look for heart rocks in the creek. And yes, I spent some time removing unwanted residents. More in flickr photostream.
