If a picture paints a thousand words

This blog is a place for me to work on my photography. My goal is to submit a new picture every day and to get better as the moments go by. I take all pictures with my digital camera. I worked for years with a 35 mm minolta, and this is a learning experience for me. I am afraid that I got lazy and allowed the camera to choose most of the settings for me. This is my journey of learning how to shoot a camera that is not in a program mode. It is harder than I ever imagined. That makes this challenge both a new experience and a joy for me.

Macro Friday - Day 56

The Last Flowers of Fall - Day 56


In driving around town, I found these few flowers hanging on in spite of the cooler weather.  This really is a macro shot as these flowers are less than an inch in diameter each.  I loved the yellow, and I thought it ironic that the only ones I found were all in fall colors!

    Obviously there hadn't been a hard frost right there! Marigolds are so colorful...and so tender in the cold. Beautiful.
