Photo a day (28/366): Around here

Gray clouds finally parted where I lived after I did a nice little 9 mile run this morning. I napped and decided to go out for lunch before going in to work, giving myself time to take and post some photos along the way. The sun was so strong a lot of images were washed … Continue reading »

Post a day (27/366): Let’s all feng shui tonight

Okay, there is nothing super exciting about these two photos. Quite simply this is a photo of a plant from my grandmother’s funeral in 2010 that I managed to keep alive for over a year and a half now. It is in definite need of pruning and some care, but it seems to be doing … Continue reading »

Photo a day (23/366): Small town

So, today was another of those busy days. Finding the time to really try to come up with a great shot, or place to shoot, was a challenge. Driving through a small town though I had to stop and try to get this picture. It’s a fire alarm that sits perched atop the fire house … Continue reading »

Photo a day (22/366): The gray

There was nothing pretty about today. A gray fog permeated everything, washing the world of most color. The only bits I could find that popped while outside on break were these, a stencilled bit of graffiti on the Elm Street overpass in Downtown Cincinnati, and a street sign: It was one of those days where … Continue reading »

Photo a day (21/366): The Ice Storm

A minor ice storm struck where I live over night. It was nothing like the one in the depressing 1997 movie starring Kevin Kline. I took pictures of the ice. Continue reading »
