Dandelion Shine

Dandelion
In The Yard – ITY62
 

I know, most people view them as a weed, but I see them as a never ending source for my photography. I will admit I was a little excited when I noticed the dandelions sprouting up in the grass outside my front door. As soon as I was done with work yesterday, I switched the camera over to the macro lens and stepped outside.

Dam Dreams

Delta Lake Dam

Last Saturday was a beautiful day and I was not about to sit on my butt all day. Around mid-morning I took off with the camera in search of pictures. My adventure started with flowers but eventually I found myself heading toward Delta Lake. My initial thought was to walk the trails in the state park but upon seeing the water flowing over the dam I stopped to explore the opposite side of Delta Lake.

It has been a while since I last photographed the dam. It was an often used destination when I started on my photographic journey and I’m not exactly positive why I have not been back. Although I would prefer capturing images with more green in the trees, I could not pass up the water flowing over the dam. I made a full circle tour of the area grabbing images from every view. Even with a wonderful blue sky I felt this series looked better in monochrome…

Sleep Well Moon

Bellamy Harbor Park

I ran out this morning to capture the sunrise but could not resist the colors in the sky and the setting moon. The first capture had a few clouds obscuring the view but I practiced a little patience and was rewarded with this image. Totally made dragging my butt out into the morning worth it…
