Seek the light

Midday, Macro

A little something I found along the trail last weekend. I’m looking forward to exploring this weekend if the weather holds out…

Dreams of Summer

The recent return of cooler temperatures have only increased my dreams for summer. The walks last weekend have me anxiously awaiting the arrival of more floral subjects. Yes, landscapes are my thing but I still find the search for an interesting macro image very satisfying.

Fade Away

Midday, Floral, Macro

Another beautiful day in Central NY. I wasn’t going to let the day pass me by so I grabbed the camera with the macro lens and headed out the door.

I wanted to walk the trail along the canal again. I know it is a good five mile round trip and I definitely need to be active. Lazy is easy… 🙂

My focus was finding subjects for my macro lens. Should be easy. I walked the entire path and barely stopped for an image. At the end (the end where I turn around) I found a few small flowers and interesting dried up ferns (?). The minute I found these small yellow flowers, I couldn’t stop seeing them. On the walk back to the apartment I noticed everything I missed initially.

How?

I was looking, I swear.

Now I’m thinking I was off in la-la land as I was walking. It amazed me what I missed.

It Has Sprung

Floral, Macro

Spring that is!

Or at least I’m beginning to see flowers pop up around the area.

I chose to skip the sunset last night and drove in search of subjects for my macro lens.

I found some!

It felt good to eschew the grand vistas and focus on the little details. I haven’t had the macro lens on the camera in quite a long time. Now there are so many places to explore while the floral superstars make their entrance on stage.
