First photos of 2021! No new photos, actually, but I started messing around with composites. I haven’t taken any photos with compositing in mind (is that a verb?), so I’m just piecing together ones that might work. Good practice, good fun!
It turns out, yesterday was Sunday, so I’m posting a day late, but I have photos! And I want to share! And it’s winter break, so today is kinda like Sunday anyway. I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers … and didn’t think to pull out the Nikon. (The last couple of weeks have used … Read more
I had the opportunity to take a few shots of a beautiful family this week. Mom reached out and asked if I could take their Christmas card photo. Sure! (I’m not including that one here.) We were about to walk through the grass to the spot where we were going to set up when the … Read more
My only Nikon photos this week were from Thanksgiving. The Climbing Daddy made caprese salad on toothpicks. When he realized The Kid wasn’t going to eat them, he made toothpick snacks out of fruit. Flowers on the table (in the back yard in the sun) That’s all for this week! See you next week!

The Climbing Daddy had picked up a few cactus clippings that he was planning to root. They sat in a cardboard box on the table on the back patio for a week or less, waiting for attention. He went out to do something with them and found a friend in the box: She’s the fifth … Read more
Hey! I pulled out the Nikon today! A road nearby has animal properties, and along a long section, there are sunflowers. I noticed on a walk a couple of weeks ago that the sunflowers were stunning with the sun setting behind them, and I wanted to see what I could capture. Finally, today, I walked … Read more
We went camping at Roper Lake State Park for a few days. It’s a small park in southeastern Arizona. Not much elevation, so it was not much of a relief from the temps at home (maybe a five-degree difference), but we had some shade in our campsite and the overnight weather was perfect for sleeping. … Read more
You might have noticed there was no post last week. I hadn’t taken any pictures. I hadn’t done any learning. I had nothin’. I’m happy to have pulled out the camera this week and have some shots to share with you! My son was going swimming and wanted me to take some pictures. He had … Read more
