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.

  7. 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!
