Sunrise at Scotts Run Nature Preserve

Sunrise at Scotts Run Nature Preserve

If you’ve never visited Scott’s Run Nature Preserve it’s right off the beltway on your way to Great Falls National Park on the Virginia side. The hike takes 10/15 mins and drops you right at a cute little waterfall and the Potomac River.

This little gal – I decided her face looked girl-like I could be totally wrong – was the perfect model and stayed on this stick until I was done.
Sunflower Fields

Sunflower Fields

Made an early morning sunrise trip to the McKee-Beshers WIldlife Management Area to finally see the huge sunflower fields. They did not disappoint.
River Abstract

River Abstract

I had the opportunity this weekend to take quite a few photos while back in Wisconsin. I’m sharing them on my flickr account, but this is one of my favorites I took of the Suamico River.
Purple Sunrise

Purple Sunrise

Going to see the cherry blossoms a lot this year. Yesterday, I did my now yearly sunrise photoshoot. The actual sunrise didn’t give much but the twilight around 6:15 was this beautiful purple hue.
Super Moon

Super Moon

Last night the moon was what NASA calls a super moon because it’s at it’s closest point to Earth. This happens only once every 18 years. I debated about where in DC to go for this event. Ended up at the Tidal Basin to enjoy the scene before tourists descend...
More California

More California

I’ve put up a bunch more pictures from California on my Flickr page. Below are a few shots too that are my favorite. This sea lion came up on our beach the second night to say hi.

Before and after – Holgate Glacier

When I really picked my photography hobby back up last year, I didn’t may much attention to post processing. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the software – I have photoshop – but I was happy just letting iPhoto do the work. Then, as I’ve mentioned before, part of this year’s resolutions was to do...

Morning Coffee with the Packers

DC Sunrise

This morning’s sunrise over DC was particularly pretty. I probably shouldn’t have been trying to take the picture while driving, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Shooting Stills

Took these photos while sporting clay shooting over the holiday. Sporting clay shooting is one of my favorite things to do when I go home. Usually I don’t do terribly well because of lack of practice, but this time around I got a 37 out of 50. I still hold that if my all time...

Christmas Cross Stitch

Am almost done with my 2009 Christmas cross stitching project – this is a small part of it. Got a few new projects for Christmas that I’ll start working on after this one!

Rubber ducky you’re the one

According to the video Megan and Adam did for Andy’s Christmas scavenger hunt Jacob has 13 rubber duckies. And, in about a month they’ll be moving into my Grandma’s old house so I took this picture to give to them for their bathroom.

Baby it’s cold outside

Today’s daily photo comes from the most charming old wood fireplace the car wash place had for people who were waiting for their cars to get done. I love these, someday when I have a cabin I want something similar.

Snow covered Capitol Hill

One of my favorite things of Winter is waking up in the morning to a fresh coat of snow over everything (but roads still fine )

Seroogy’s Chocolate

If you’re ever in the Green Bay area you need to get yourself some Seroogy’s chocolate – some of my all time favorite chocolate … and guaranteed treats at Christmas and Easter.

Don’t Tread On Me

Wednesday’s photo comes from a lamp shade at the Capitol Lounge in Washington, DC. Capitol Lounge was once my DC version of cheers. Back in 2005 and 2006 I could go in there any night and would probably know at least one person. But after the fire they had around that time and some new...

That was easy

In 2007 a friend of mine knew I was getting consistently frustrated at people who would ask me to build web sites or do something on the web and expect it to be done fast – because everything on the Internet can be done immediately. So he sent me this easy button and I’ve had...

2010 Camera Portrait

Last year when I started on my 365 day project the first picture I took with my Nikon D60 was one of me taking a picture. Now that I’m on my second 365 day project I thought it’d be cool to do another one. Today I also discovered the Topaz Adjust Photoshop filter from Scott...
