I think my favorite part about this photo is the fact that when I zoom all the way in, I can see the guy is clearly wearing tennis shoes…

A couple of recent shots:

Country SpringSalamonie Reservoir, March 2012It seems the unseasonably warm weather we’ve had over the last month or so has managed to thoroughly confuse the local plant life. Almost everything capable of blooming or budding seems to have done so over the last couple weeks. It’s been a good time to head outside for a walk, wherever you’re at.
More Shadows
A couple more shadow pictures. These are basically warmup shots, but I still like ‘em. They might have to become more of a regular exercise for me.

Shadows #1Fort Wayne, February 2012I took the camera out last weekend for a walk around downtown, for the first time in a couple months. It was a good reminder of how quickly you can get out of practice with something when you don’t keep on top of it. Consequently, I didn’t come home with any great photos, but there’s still something about that low, late-winter light that I like.

BranchesPennsylvania, January 2011I guess we’re a couple weeks into 2012 at this point, but that’s OK. It’s not like timeliness has ever been a major concern for this site. I hope everyone’s having a happy new year so far. Looking back on 2011, it was kind of a rough year from a lot of perspectives, so I’m hopeful that this year will be a better one.
White Mountains #3
Well, so much for my brief streak of weekly posts. I guess it was inevitable I wouldn’t be able to keep it up as things got busy approaching the holidays. Hopefully I’ll be able to resume a bit more of a regular schedule in 2012.

White Mountains #2
Another shot from my ill-fated Panasonic, before it met its untimely end tumbling down a rocky path…
Parapet Brook New Hampshire, August 2011I suppose "ill-fated" is probably a little overdramatic. I had that camera for something like 6 years, and I got some pictures I really like out of it. That’s not a bad run for a digital camera, especially considering some of the conditions I hauled that one through.
Regarding the photo itself, I was continually surprised at the amount of water we encountered in the Presidentials. We had to cross countless streams like this pouring down the sides of the mountains, and there were even a few small lakes up above the treeline. I expect to see that out West, where there are glaciers that melt all summer to feed the lakes and streams, but not in the lower mountains out East. With the difficulty we ran into hiking out there in relatively dry August, I can’t even imagine climbing those mountains in the spring with snowmelt and rain.
