Fresh Flowers

I know these flowers are fresh . . you wouldn’t believe what they said to me as I walked by this bench.  I like to keep this blog ‘G’ rated so I am not going to repeat it.

The Orchids are at the Como Park Conservatory.  I went to an artists even last Sunday and got the chance to shoot some beautiful flowers.

Waiting at the 6th street transit station

There are so many things I could write about this picture.  I woke up early yesterday and decided to make the most of it so I was out the door by 6:00 AM with my camera.  Rush hour was a mess because of the snow but I found what I was looking for.  Something colorful to shoot.  I have taken a few pictures of the 6th Street transit station.  It is very photogenic because of the color, the non-stop activity and the cathedral in the background if at all possible.

I took this shots from my car, using my Gorilla Pod.

Wooden Spool

I managed to get through the entire week without using anything but my 50mm lens.  I have a bunch of old spools of thread from the days when they made the spools from wood instead of plastic. I don’t remember seeing wooden spools as a child and am thinking that this spool of thread may be older than I am.

Lights on the Tree

I took this one last year just for fun and I think photography is supposed to be fun.  It really doesn’t look much like a Christmas tree but it does have some nice colors in it.  I went out on Sunday and got a bunch of holiday shots, I hope to have time to process them and plan on getting some more this afternoon.

Blue and rusty valve

I just can’t get enough pictures of valves.  This is one is in California. I like the colors and of course the rust.

Princess Flower

I love these flowers.
