Welcome to the Daily View

Yesterday I shared our Amaryllis that has once again began to bloom after several months of dormancy. Today I am sharing another house plant that has also decided to awaken from a shorter period of hibernation. This is the same plant I shared with you a week or so ago but now it is much further along. You may not be able to tell from this close up but it seems our Orchid is about to show us it's flowers.

Maybe it's the lighting, the composition or even the change of lens used but I really like this better than my earlier attempts. It's probably a combination of all three. But I think the lens had a lot to do with it.

Here is the EXIF data.

Sunday View - 18 February 2018 Edition

Welcome to the Daily View.

Like the new header? I just thought it was time to do a  little blog tune-up. I have some more things in mind but we can't rush these things. You'll see them little by little though.

So we got some snow overnight. About 2 inches around here. This morning everything was snow covered. But then as the day went on it slowly melted away and now there is very little left. Not even on the grass. And I'd say in about a day or so it will be as if it never happened. Not bad if you ask me. I shot a lot of snow pics and you know I'll be sharing them this week. But not today. Today I am sharing something from our indoor plant collection. It's been a while since it's bloomed. Many months in fact. But here is our quick growing Amaryllis. I say quick growing because it was about a quarter of this size just two days ago and by the end of the week it will probably be at least twice this size.

That bud in the foreground just appeared a couple days ago and the leaves about five days ago. And before that it was simply dormant. But I knew it would eventually bloom.

Welcome To The Saturday View

Today I had planned on getting out and doing some shooting. I had a few ideas but as it turns out I didn't do any of them. We just ran out of daylight after our errands were run. And then on our way home from the supermarket it started to snow. As we drove home I noticed how cool the light from the streetlamps looked as the snow fell in front of them. And then I remembered a snapshot I had made one evening last year while Kim and I walked our dog around our neighborhood. There was a little fog that evening and the streetlamp around the corner from us looked pretty cool surrounded by it. Put one and one together and it equals me walking around the corner with my phone this evening and creating an updated version of that very scene. And here it is. And it sure was a slippery walk.

I did some very minor adjustments including converting it to black and white. There really wasn't much color anyway aside from a slight yellowish glow from the lamp. Oh and on a side note I made an official measurement of the snow about fifteen minutes ago and we got about an inch and a half so far.

Welcome To The Friday View

For today's view I am sharing a couple more cars from last weekend's car show in Atlantic City. And these are two of my favorites. The first is a 1970 (What a great year!) Plymouth Roadrunner "Superbird". It always sticks out in a crowd. And what a bargain at a mere $169,000.00 .

And here is a slightly modified version of the 1973 edition of my all time favorite. The Plymouth Barracuda. Known simply as the 'Cuda in this body style. This one was probably originally a 340 Cubic Inch version but the owner has installed a modern 5.7 liter Hemi V8.

Welcome To The "Throwback Thursday" View

Today's throwback goes back to February 15, 2015 and is one of my favorite subjects. Orchids. Well one orchid at least. This was one of our many and one that we had for about four years. It did very well but unfortunately we no longer have it. But we do have it forever in this and many photos. Take a look and be sure to Click Here for the original article.

Today I am taking a break from the cars and sharing a snapshot+ I made on Saturday night. This is a black and white view from our suite of the dreary weather that was around pretty much most of the weekend.
