5 May 2010: Deja Vu

I feel like I am repeating myself. Here is a subject that was also covered almost exactly a year ago - http://wide-angle-lens.blogspot.com/2009/05/11-may-2009-photo-wild-child.html

8 April 2010: Bokeh Brazenness

I was out taken some photos in the early morning light. I knew I would get some cool bokeh effect but a few of the pictures made the bokeh the subject. I like it!

19 March 2010: Mow Mow Mow Your Lawn

First day of spring is tomorrow and our grass is already growing (at least the patches above the septic). Bill will be excited to get back on the riding mower soon!

This little daisy was growing wild in our grass and just before Bill mowed the lawn, I took some shots of the innocent flower. I darkened the background so the petals are the only thing that stands out. Doesn't it just make you want to pull the petals off one by one...he loves me...he loves me not...he loves me...he loves me not...HE LOVES ME!

10 April 2009 Photo: Watching Grass Grow

So my obsession with grass continues...this morning it happens to be all about the frost on the green stuff. It was cold and sunny this morning and I captured some ice crystals on our lawn. My husband is not necessarily ready for the grass to start growing again because that means the 2 hour weekly mowings will commence again; however, I am ready for grass growing, flowers blooming, and baby birds hatching.

If you click on the pictures to make them bigger, you can see the crystals a bit more.

2 April 2009 Photo: The Grass Is Always Greener

I love this photograph! As I was walking to a meeting this morning near Lincoln Center, I saw this grass growing with the dew still holding on late in the morning. In a city like NYC, with the tall buildings and concrete, it is easy to lose sight of the beauty of the green grass. I stopped immediately to take some pictures and captured the drops on the blades. If you look really closely, you may be able to see my reflection in the water droplet.
