The Mossy Oak

I'm not sure that this tree is actually an oak tree, but I needed a title and it sounded good. I went on a field trip with my son's 3rd grade class to the Wildlife Refuge in Ridgefield a couple of weeks ago. I'm not the type of parent to do those kinds of things typically, because honestly other people's children annoy me. I promised Ashton that I would go though. It was a pretty cool place but couldn't fully appreciate it so I plan to go back to walk the trails, enjoy the nature and try to photograph the wildlife that were all scared off by loud, obnoxious kids. There was this HUGE, beautiful, tree that I didn't have the luxury of time to spend photographing it. I was only able to pause for a second as we were walking away to get 3 bracketed exposures of just this shot.

59/365 - Through the Chain

I saw this moss covered beauty a couple weeks back and really wanted to photograph it - but it was behind a chain linked fence! Today I went out and decided to take a picture of it anyway. While there I got the idea to get my lens as close to the fence as possible and take some pictures through the chain link. I'm happy with the result even though this particular photo isn't perfect. I might have got a link from the chain in this picture, but I don't care. I chose not to crop it, perhaps I should have...

Day 28 - January 17, 2011 - Blue Moss

I wasn't happy with any pictures that I took today and almost posted this one in it's original version, but I decided to process it a little more until I was satisfied enough to post it. This is a picture of a patch of moss with spiky things poking out of the top of it - inverted, then played with the color a little bit.

Day 24 - January 13, 2011 - Untitled

I haven't been feeling well, so I've been curled up in bed watching a little instant Netflix today. Picture 24 wasn't a priority on my to do list today (actually nothing was) so I was going to post a picture that I took earlier this week. Before I did, I looked outside and as my luck would have it...no rain. Let me tell you, it's getting harder and harder to find things of interest in my yard to photograph. So this is it, part of my garden trellis. (It hurts to think so I will title it later). Back to Netflix!
