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 - Winter Waits - Day 77

The night is cold.  The wind blows.  Winter waits quietly, in the wings for her cue.  She is coming soon.  I can see her fluttering, waiting, drifting.  She is nearly upon us.  


The remains of the sunflowers wave in the autumn breeze.  They are no longer beautiful, but they each hold a promise of a time to come.

    I see winter waiting too -- so poetically written! The photos are beautiful too but I especially like the way the three flowers seem to cling together in the bottom one. Very nice!

    Au contraire, these flowers are still very beautiful from your black and white perspective! :)
