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 "Throwback Thursday" View

Today's throwback doesn't go back very far. In fact it's only going back about 8 months.

I have been wanting to share a squirrel pic but really haven't made many recently. So I figured I'd take advantage and share a previous one with you today. So from February 17 here is one of our resident Cafe diners enjoying a bite to eat.

Welcome to The Wednesday View

A few weeks ago while I was out shooting I came across some leafy bushes. And though under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't have taken a second look, this time I did. The way sun shined over them created some very nice shadows. Today's photo is my attempt to capture the moment to share with you.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

Today's photo is a snapshot that I made this afternoon.

A couple days ago I was sprucing up the house plants that we keep by one of our front windows. In doing so I noticed our African Violet is blooming quite nicely. Fast forward to today and I thought I would share it with you. So here you go. Straight out of my camera. In this case that would be my Samsung Galaxy S8.

Welcome To The Monday View

Today I am putting a little spin on the ball. You may have noticed that I am no longer including a "before" image with my daily posts. I did this to streamline my process a little and to be honest save a little time. Well today I am switching up and instead of a post processed image you will see the "straight out of camera" or "SOOC" image.

This was shot during the sunrise in Atlantic City a few weeks or so ago. At this point I was messing around and just experimenting a little. Looking back though I really like this one. I may (or may not) toss it through Photoshop to see what I can do with it but for now enjoy what my camera saw. The only editing I did was converting it from a Canon cr2 Raw Image to a file that is recognized by everyday web browsers. In this and in most cases that would be a PNG or Portable Network Image file.

Is this the way it looked in person? Pretty much. The colors are a little off but not by much. And the lighting is perfectly correct. It could use some tweaking but for now this is it.

Welcome To The Sunday View

Today was a rainy one around here and early on I was unsure as to whether or not I would get any shooting in. There was no way I was setting up my camera gear where it might get wet so the Cafe was pretty much out. And then as I was looking out our front door I saw it. Today's photo. It is a simple subject but one that most of us probably don't pay too much mind to. An everyday, garden variety moth. He was on the outside of our storm door. I don't shoot through glass often but with the light shining through I thought this was perfect.
