a Murder at Sunset

This photo was shot at the same time as yesterday's. Every evening just around sunset, a flock of crows (Also known as a murder of crows) gathers in this tree. It almost seems like they gather to watch the sunset, socialize a little bit and then fly home for the night.

See Ya Tomorrow

Air Filter Lights

Last night, right before going to bed, I noticed the way the two green LEDs of the air filter were reflecting off the glass that was placed in front of it. So I took a couple of shots. I think it looks kind of interesting.

Clouds through blinds

Today is one of those grey days. It's not raining yet, but it will be. It's one of those days to stay inside listen to Jazz and drink some tea. Which is exactly the kind of day it was when I took this photo. Sometimes bordem leads to some interesting shots.

Good Morning Sunrise.

So this morning I got in early and Rick (my good friend and camera commrade) and I headed up to the roof to take some pictures of the sunrise. It was simply a beautiful thing to behold. It's amazing how ten minutes spent watching the sunrise and taking pictures of it can be so relaxing and get the creative juices flowing.

Actual Nature

So with work being so stressful and the fact that I've been working six days a week, my beautiful wife decided that I needed to get out and see some 'Actual Nature'. I have to say it was really nice and relaxing. On our walk we saw this little guy, he posed for the pictured and then asked me to email him a copy.

Sound of shadows

Yesterday morning I was on the train and had my camera out. I was just goofing around, pushing buttons, learning how to use it when I noticed the shadow that the sunshade for lense made on the table. Well I just had to take the shot.

View from a window

Well it's been raining like crazy here. The forecast is for more rain. Of course the ground can't absorb anymore water and the hills are sliding. Everytime you look out the window this is all you see.
