A snippet of a morning hike in Roxborough State Park:
I recently bought an Olympus fisheye lens to round out my set of lenses — I can’t say you can use it all the time, but it’s turning out to be a very versatile piece of glass. Software can correct most of the distortions [...]

A few days back, I took a picture of an old local building (built in 1903 — it’s old by local standards, at any rate). In spite of its age, it looks relatively “fresh” — thanks in no small part to a recent bout of restoration work. Since the picture I took makes the structure [...]

A few days ago I showed you the outside of the Desert View Watchtower. Now I’ll take you inside with this little diptych I put together:

Yeah, it’s a lame name — but I think it fits:
This is an image of some interesting little seed heads that I took at The Arboretum at Flagstaff in Flagstaff, Arizona.
For what it’s worth, I really like the bokeh, too. What do you think?

We recently had the good fortune to make our way back to the Grand Canyon after some years’ absence. Here’s the first in about a dozen pictures I took there that I’m happy with:
This is the Desert View watchtower at sundown.
The 70 foot tall tower was built in 1932 by the Fred Harvey [...]

A damselfly takes a little breather in St. Louis:

I thought I’d try my hand at a triptych, and this situation just made it easy for me:
A few weeks back, I went to the Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival, just to see what kind of pictures I could get. I was lucky that the first day of the festival (”Press Day,” a Friday) [...]
