I'm Actually Getting Tired of the Same Birds

Just as I was getting tired of the Chickadees at my house I'm starting to get tired of the Pine Siskins and Lesser Goldfinches out at the Burris Ranch. I was hoping for something different today. The only thing of note that came to the feeders was an American Goldfinch and I didn't manage to capture any decent images of it. I spent along time in the photoblind today and I did create a lot of great images. I think I need to take a break now from bird photography and do some serious editing.

God's love and blessings to all,

Not What I Expected

I finally managed to set aside some time today to try and create a photo I've had in my mind. I'd like to create a flower poster with a bouquet of flowers in the center and around the edges have individual images of the flowers that make up the bouquet. The problem was that when I went to the local supermarket this morning all the flowers either looked pretty bad or they were way out of the budget I had in mind for this image. So I walked out of the store feeling well lackluster.
On my way home I stopped off at my Mom's house to help her with a minor computer problem. Lo and behold she gave me a single tulip to take home and give to Lenore.

So I set up a sweep and diffused a couple of studio lights and I photographed the tulip with six different backgrounds. I don't think I'm there yet as far as what I have in envisioned my mind. But, I'm getting there and that's all part of the journey. I hope your journies in life are going along as well.

God bless,
