Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today in a rare midweek mobile update I am sharing a picture of our dog waiting at the front door to greet Kim as she arrives home from work.

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

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 1, 2015

Hi there and welcome to the Daily View!

Wow! Is it really December already? As I type this it is 52° F with a bit of rain. A lot nicer than say 30° F with snow! I can really get into this warmer Winter. Though I am sure we will get at least a little frigid weather so I'll try to enjoy it while I can.

For today's photo I am breaking up my Longwood Christmas posts with this very, very rare shot. And I am not even kidding. This is some special stuff I'm sharing with you.

This is our dog Schnitzel. He is a really awesome companion but a really difficult photographic subject. He hates his picture being taken! As soon as I pull out the camera he turns away. Even my cell phone. He will not (usually) look toward the lens and moves around a lot. This time however I was able to catch him off guard. Well actually he was just waking from a nap. Hey, I'll take it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Halloween edition of the Daily View!

With Halloween being on a Saturday this year I really thought we would get a lot of kids stopping by. But it turned out to be the exact opposite. We had fewer this year than the previous several. And we were actually ready with lots of sugary goodness. Oh well, more for us. Like I really need that!

For today's photo I would like to share this with you.

Schnitzel in his cat costume with Kim holding his leash. He was not amused. Not at all! He doesn't mind the costume so much but he hates things on his head. I was lucky to get this shot.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 21, 2015

Welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View and welcome to Summer! And boy it sure does feel like Summer around here. It is now 7:40 PM as I write this and it is currently 88° F outside. It was even hotter a couple hours ago when Kim and I were in our little backyard pool. And speaking of the pool look who joined us today.

We bought our dog Schnitzel a little inflatable pool and are getting him used to floating in our pool with us. He didn't know what to make of it at first but over time he did a lot better. And naturally we were very close by in case he jumped out.

Aside from taking an afternoon dip it was a very busy day. I was up and out early to do some photographing at Valley Forge and later Kim and I visited our local zoo. Hey, Summer only lasts so long and I try to make the most of it. No sleeping in here! During my early morning journey I made a few videos. Today I would like to share one. Now this one is a little different. At least for me. When  I make a video I am always silent. Usually because I am trying to share what I am experiencing. But there is also a bit of stage freight I suppose. Well for better or worse you get to here a little narrative as I show you the Valley Forge "Witness tree".

I hope that wasn't too bad :) Oh, and if you would like to learn more about the Witness Tree check out my post from last year at this link.

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

Until next time...

Around The House - May 31, 2015

Hi there folks! Wow wasn't the weekend quick? At least mine was. We did a lot of running yesterday and today we just did some work around the house. I didn't know what I was going to post for this weeks "full post" so I thought I would show you some shots I made today.

These first two photos are from our pear tree.

This is one of our many Vinca.

And here is our Schnauzer, Schnitzel sporting his new Summer haircut.

One of our geraniums.

And finally here is our orchid.

And that's about it for now. I hope you enjoyed your visit and I certainly hope to see you again here at the blog. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Until next time...

August 21, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

So, as usual, I'm out back this morning filling our bird feeder and letting our dog Schnitzel do his thing. I also had my camera and was preparing to shoot today's photo. I did get the shot I wanted but as I was getting ready to go in Schnitzel was in the perfect spot for me to grab a couple pics of him. This is very uncommon. He rarely "poses" for me. So instead of the shot I was going to share I am sharing this one instead.

Maybe I'll share the original photo tomorrow. Unless of course something wonderfully unexpected like this occurs again:)

On another note, if you have been trying to comment on any of my posts and not been able to I have fixed the problem (I think). Give it a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
