Exploration Photography Daily View - January 31, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Yesterday I had planned on getting out to shoot but as I said in my last post it just didn't work out. So I figured I'd get up and shoot the sunrise today but it seemed unlikely because I was up rather late. But as it turned out I was up nice and early so I drove over to Valley Forge with plenty of time to spare. So for your viewing pleasure here is today's sunrise.

As you can see there is still plenty of snow left on the ground but luckily it's only on the grass. And it was quite warm too.

After shooting the sunrise I thought it would be nice to take a drive through the park and take in some of the scenery.  So I set up my camera phone (Samsung galaxy S6) on the dash and made a video so I could share it with you too. I will warn you though that it is a bit long but you can always skip ahead. And as always it is best viewed at full screen in 1080P.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

I had planned on getting out to shoot today but with all of our errands it just didn't happen. So I thought about it and since I have been sharing a lot of snow photos lately, how about I post something a little more summery? So I dug into the archives and found this shot from June 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey.

A bit overcast but I assure you it was a lot warmer than it is now. And no snow! This was a short day trip to OC on our way home from a week long camping trip in Cape May Courthouse. And if I remember correctly Kim and I met up with my sister Kathy and my brother-in-law Joe. It was my first time there but Ocean City has since become one of my favorite vacation destinations. It is a true family friendly beach town. Hopefully we'll get there a time or two this Summer. And if we do you know I'll share it with you in photos :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Exploration Photography Daily View And Weekly Roundup - January 29, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View and Weekly Roundup!

While filling the feeders in the freshly cleaned cafe this morning I saw one of our squirrels up in his tree enjoying a breakfast peanut and thought I'd share him with you today. In fact I think it's the same one from last night. Check him out.

Not the best shot I have ever made but I had to act fast. In fact by the time I shot this he already finished his peanut.

And now for the Weekly Roundup. Click any link below to take a second look at last weeks posts or maybe a first look if you missed a day.

Before I go I would like to share a video I shot this morning. As always this is best viewed full screen at 1080P.

And that wraps up another week my friends. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

It was another nice day today filled with plenty of sunshine and some more warm temps. Naturally a lot more snow melted and with that we are seeing more and more ground. And the Cafe was looking rough! Lots and lots of spilled seeds and empty peanut shells. So I took advantage of the daylight after work and did some cleaning. It looks a lot better now but by the time I wrapped things up it was too dark to get a good shot so maybe I'll do  that tomorrow. But during the process I was able to grab this shot.

I heard some chattering up in my neighbor's tree and saw this guy running around jumping from branch to branch. Luckily he stopped to enjoy a peanut and I was able to get a few photos. I must say that I wasn't sure how I liked this but the more I worked with it the more it grew on me. I guess you could call it a silhouette.

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

It was another warm one today. Relatively speaking that is. And the snow is sure dwindling away. Even the Cafe is starting to clear up.

Wow what a mess! It looks like I need to get out there and do some sprucing up. But at least we stayed open for the duration of the storm. I am glad too because during the cold months our local wildlife need to eat as much as possible to keep up their strength and to stay warm. But this is also a time when food is scarce. So I just try to do my part to help them out. And if it provides some photo ops that's even better :)

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Seeing as we are still blessed with a lot of snow on our local roads (thanks Upper Merion) I thought I'd share another photo of my drive to work with you. This was shot yesterday morning but the scene hasn't changed a lot.

Okay it's a bit better but not from plowing. The weather warmed up today and it was pretty sunny. How is your snow situation? We can't be the only place that feels forgotten.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi and welcome to the daily View!

Well today is day two of the big dig out and there is a lot left to do. There is snow everywhere. Many roads around here are one lane and almost impossible to navigate. Naturally I shot several photos of my drive to work this morning and would like to share this one with you.

This road is normally narrow and not fun to drive but throw in some snow and this is what you get. I am glad there weren't a lot of other cars.

Thanks for stopping by!
