Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Although we are indeed home I am posting today's photo as a mobile update. It's been a long day my friends. And though it is still Summer I am sharing a little bit of Autumn with you. I saw this rather tattered leaf on one of our benches out back and knew it was the perfect representation of the coming seasons.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Wednesday View

I still have lots of images to process from our Virginia Beach trip a couple weeks ago. And little by little I am getting there. I still think a good old fashioned full feature post is called for and am working on something. But for now enjoy this photo from First landing State Park.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

Today was a hard one my friends. I'm not going to get into any details here. At least not right now. But I still want to get my post out.

For today's photo I am sharing a snapshot from our trip last week. I made this with my phone while we were on our way to First Landing State Park. It shows some pretty nice Fall colors.

Welcome To The Friday View

It's just about 11PM as I am typing this my friends so I will be quite brief.

Today's photo is one more from last Saturday's trip to Jenkin's Arboretum. And it is another reminder that the Summer is well in our past and the cold weather is probably going to stick around for a while.

Continuing with our Saturday trip to Jenkin's Arboretum I would like to widen my lens a bit and show you some scenery aside from flowers and leaves. This is a shot of the lake along with some beautiful Fall colors.

Welcome To The Friday View

Today I would like to share one more shot from our river walk last Saturday. This is another tree with a hole in the bottom that I am sure something lives in. But this time I wasn't about to get down and stick my camera up it to photograph it. I stuck to shooting this view instead.

Today's photo is a snapshot. But it's a snapshot that continues my series of shots from our Schuylkill River Trail walk on Saturday. This is a view inside of a tree. As we walked along we saw this tree that had a big opening on it's side. So at risk of getting bitten by something that may live in it I stuck my phone in and shot this.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

For today's photo I would like to share another scene from along the Schuylkill River that I shot on Saturday. This one is in full color and shows off the turning of the leaves quite nicely. As we walked along the trail I saw this and marveled at how the bright sun shined through and was muted ever so slightly as it was absorbed by the trees. I knew right away that I had to share it with you. I hope you enjoy my reproduction of the moment as much as I enjoyed the original.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

Today's photo takes us back to the subject of my Sunday walk in the park. Autumn. More precisely Autumn colors. Here we see a single leaf on what is now a very bare branch. It's green is gone and by now it has probably joined the thousands or perhaps millions of others that have fallen to become compost for next years leaves.

Welcome To The Sunday View

Today was quite a day my friends. Down the street from our house is a really nice and quite large State Park. On the other side of the park is one of my favorite local destinations. The Elmwood Park Zoo. Well not really right on the other side. It's on the other side after you throw in some twists and turns and a little traveling along some main roads. In all we are about three miles away from the zoo. A trip that usually takes us about five minutes in a car. Except today we didn't drive. We walked. Walking takes about a hour. But at least there was a lot of nice scenery along the way. And over the next couple days I will be sharing some of it with you. So to start things off I would like to show you this.

I set out to shoot some Fall colors and I think this fits the bill nicely. Nothing quite says Fall better than a yellow dried up corn field.

Welcome To The Saturday View

For the past couple days I have been noticing something unusual in our front yard. Well unusual for October that is. Then today it got a little more unusual. And not for the good.

What we have is a handful of dandelions on our lawn. Not terribly out of place but being Autumn they really shouldn't be there. But what is bad is I saw a very young bee on the dandelion. What I am thinking is that the weather has confused mother nature and things are going awry. I am no expert but common sense would dictate that the bee will definitely not last through Winter. And that means less bees in the Spring and that means flowers and vegetables will be affected. Let's hope things straighten out.

So for today's photo I would like to share our Autumn oddity.

Welcome To The Friday View

Friday is upon us my friends and so is some cooler weather. More and more I can see Fall taking over and we all know what's after that.

For today's photo I am sharing another leaf from one of our outings a couple weeks ago. This is a sure sign of the season's change.

Welcome To The Sunday View

It seems that more and more Fall is approaching. And it just feels like it's early somehow. Sure it made it into the 80's again today but there was a lot of raking and other yard work to be done. And that's how I spent most of my day. So in turn I really didn't have time to shoot. Therefore today's photo is a snapshot I made last weekend when we were in Lancaster County. Ironically it's another sign of Fall.

Welcome To The Friday View

It's finally Friday my friends and I for one am glad. It has been a long week of work and then more work at home and I am ready for a break. I'm sure we'll find things to do around the house but at least it should be a slower pace.

For today's photo I would like to share some of our dogwood leaves as they start their color change for the upcoming Fall season. I like Fall and Fall weather. I love the colors. It's just what follows that I am not a big fan of. But at least we have nice scenery to get us through it.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Well folks it seems that the cooler temperatures of Autumn are upon us and Summer is taking a vacation for the next several months. Oh it's not freezing but it sure is chilly. And the rain we had today along with strong wind really made it tough to be outside. Fortunately though the rain ended in time for me to take a drive through Valley Forge to photograph the changing colors of the leaves. And I got lots of good stuff. For today's photo I would like to share this with you.

I've done this scene before but it is one of those places that draws me back again and again. And look, it's in color! But I wonder how it would look in black and white?

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Happy October Friends! You probably know that I am not a big fan of cold weather. But I really don't mind Autumn too much. Except that it leads to Winter. What I do like is Halloween and all of the spookiness that goes with it. I always have. On this note, I was going through some older photos I shot but did not share. I do this now and again when I have not had time to shoot new stuff. There seems to be a lot of that happening lately. But that's another story for another day. Anyhow, I found something that kind of fit the bill for spookiness. After some enhancing at least.

Not the kind of photo I usually share but it's good to be different once in a while.

To celebrate the first day of Autumn I thought I would take a break from our vacation snapshots and share this squirrel with you.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Wow! There are only 11 days until Spring and it sure does feel like it. We hit the low 70's today and it's supposed for be even warmer tomorrow.

For today's photo I would like to share something that actually reminds me more of Autumn. Though I don't know if it's really an Autumn thing. Does that make sense? Have a look for yourself.
