Ronald Knox
One of my favorite quotes of all time is a limerick penned by Ronald Knox, based on the hypothesis that in order to exist, you must be seen (similar to…

I haven’t had the opportunity to take any new shots over the last couple of days, but I thought I’d take a break from the Eniac shots. This one comes…

Mowed
One of the most wonderful side-effects of spring (since I am not an allergy sufferer) is the smell of freshly-mowed grass. This municipal park was obviously mowed in a hurry……

Dusk
From a couple of weeks ago: on a a beautiful spring evening I wanted to take a nice sunset shot. It seems that I’m always in a valley, though; I…

Salvage
It was such a beautiful morning that I walked down to the train station instead of driving. Which meant that I missed the train. Which meant that I had time…

Ova
On to something new! This is one of the shots that I took while trying to shoot the construction site at work. I guess you never know what you’re going…

Pansies
Okay, it’s a bit trite. But I’m out of energy for the night and it’s the best that I’ve got close at hand. Tomorrow I’ll grab some of the pictures…

Magnolia
Yes, it’s another Magnolia tree. I love them; they just don’t last long enough. I think this might be the second year in a row that we actually have a…

Sprung
It has finally happened! Spring has sprung. It’s nearly 80 degrees here today, and I had to interrupt the series of shots from last week to post this one.

Three Eared Horned Dog Cloud
No, this isn’t a shot that I expected to take — the sun was completely behind the dark cloud when I tried to line up the shot. Then there was…

Termites
Found this great fencepost down at the train station. Can’t type now — baby on my shoulder. 😉

Snow On Grass
So maybe the groundhog was right after all. And here I thought the snowdrops coming up in the back yard were a good sign to the contrary. Sigh. More snow…

Snowy
We had a great snow yesterday — just about three inches of very very wet snow that stuck to everything. I had a very short opportunity to get out and…

Signs of Life
And the groundhog is wrong! Snowdrops have started blooming in our back yard, a sure sign that spring is here.

Signs of Youth
When my father-in-law passed away years ago, my wife inherited a lot of his old camera gear. He was an amateur photographer in his day and took some great pictures.…

Bird at Dusk
I find myself wondering where to find the animals that don’t migrate. Alley cats, for example. Or the pigeons and whatever these small birds are, which you see at lunch…

Tookany Snow
Tookany Creek, down by the Jenkintown train station, still covered in snow from the recent “blizzard.” Personally, it didn’t feel like a blizzard. Blizzards to me involve serious deluges of…

Cold
Continuing with the “ice” theme… we have more than a foot of snow, and I did manage two short photo shoots today. One was from inside, where I foolishly left…

Trapped Under Ice
It’s snowing! And a lot, too. We’ve got something like a foot of snow already, and I so want to be outside shooting. Instead, I’ve been finishing the electrical work…

Light Pollution
Finally, snow! I love snow. I think it’s so peaceful and fun. I wish I had more time to be outside shooting it, but that just didn’t happen tonight. I…

Trees
It’s beautifully foggy out tonight, but unfortunately I only had my telephoto lens with me, and we had dinner plans with friends. So here’s one from the archives — taken…

Tookany Creek Falls
Taken down the street from my house along Tookany Creek, near High School Park (what an inventive name that is).

Hive
The next couple of days will be a little hectic, so I’m putting this one up early. I found a fallen beehive in the arboretum down the street early this…

Falls
I didn’t spend much time out today, but I did manage to finally get a picture of the spring near Manayunk. I think it’s gorgeous this time of year. I’ve…
