Old Erie Canal Park, DeWitt, NY
Monochrome, Dandelion
It felt like forever since I had visited the Old Erie Canal Park in DeWitt during lunch. I definitely needed the visit! Long work days and miserably rainy weather of late left my batteries needing a recharge. I decided to focus on the small detail so I left the macro lens attached, changed into my hiking shoes and headed off down the path through the woods.
Of course, one of the subjects I find would be dandelions. I can’t help myself. The delicate, intricate details draw me in every time. Half the fun is finding the right dandelion to photograph. On this one I wanted to highlight the amazing structure of the dandelion head at the center of the puff ball… 🙂
In The Yard – ITY15
I slept in a little on the 4th. Originally I thought I would go looking for a sunrise but I spent the night before finishing a book which kept me up till almost midnight. It was a good book.
I didn’t mind missing my sunrise. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It would have been a little boring looking… 🙂 Instead, I grabbed the macro lens and went exploring around the yard in the morning light. I found quite a lot to photograph.
