On my way home from work Saturday I couldn’t resist stopping along the Oriskany Creek to capture a few images before all the snow melted. The warm temps have added to the water volume and made for a good display of splash over the small falls. Additional images for my Monochrome Winter series…

I found this scene on my way home from the library the other night. I knew I had to return and capture it before the snow disappeared. Another entry in my Monochrome Winter series.

Adding to the Monochrome Winter series with this lone leaf found in the snow outside of work. Some days it is just enough to get outside with the camera during lunch to re-charge the batteries.

Will 2013 be spent looking at the road you have traveled or will it find you looking ahead to the path before you? Me, I’m looking forward…
Another for my Monochrome Winter series.

The weather yesterday was almost perfect for a winter day in Upstate NY. The temperature was above freezing (if only slightly) and the sun was out during the afternoon. How could I sit inside just waiting for the new year to arrive.
I threw on some appropriate clothes for trudging through snow and headed out the door with the camera. I had a few scenes in mind that could work in the mid afternoon sun but eventually I ended up at Delta Lake dam just north of Rome. I’ve found this is a location I have no trouble visiting repeatably as there is always something of interest to photograph.
As I worked my way down to the water I noticed another adventurer admiring the view. At first I thought it might be a fisherman but as we said ‘Hello’ I noticed the long lens attached to the camera around his neck. He was out hoping to capture one of the eagles that inhabit the trees around the dam. We stood and talked for quite a while before he decided they were not coming out and I was going to lose my sun behind the approaching clouds. It is always nice to meet fellow photographers.
I played around the dam for another thirty minutes before the sun disappeared behind the clouds. I think I like this area best during the winter. The views are wide open with all the foliage hidden beneath the snow. These images are not possible during the summer…
