Emptiness

Emptiness

I’ve been meaning to take a shot of this abandoned house, on route 73 around Blue Bell, for quite some time. Month by month it becomes a little more obvious…

Mountain Tongue

Mountain Tongue

From the outing to Ralph Stover Park last October (with the Philly Photobloggers). Sadly, I washed out the sky (which is why I hadn’t posted this before) but now that…

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

I’m a little light on new material… but apparently have plenty of pictures of Jake. Hoping to get out tomorrow to get some new shots.

Snowy Trees

Snowy Trees

Ex-Commonwealth Hall on Drexel’s campus. Sorry for the terseness of late, but I’ve been exceedingly busy. It’s just about all I can do to get the photo-of-the-day up. Hopefully things…

Chaotic Death

Chaotic Death

This rather chaotic composition was found on Drexel’s campus. I never noticed (before this year, that is) that some of the trees on the way to work keep their dead…

Logan Circle

Logan Circle

It’s snowing, and we were downtown today spending time with a friend at the Franklin Institute. I snapped this between FI and dinner.

Tree

Tree

I’ve been playing with focus blur (aka lens blur) in Gimp. A neat effect (adding fake bokeh), but I clearly need more practice with it.

Look At Me!

Look At Me!

I’m not much of a squirrel person, but this guy was standing and staring at me, begging for a picture. Being a nice guy, I obliged.

Rainy Tree

Rainy Tree

Quite a departure from my normal shots, this is a tree in a rainstorm.

Reflection

Reflection

The inverted reflection of one of Drexel’s buildings (formerly Commonwealth, now Bossone) in a puddle (formed by a failed storm drain). Two weeks later, the storm drain was removed and…

Confused Tree

Confused Tree

As the season’s first serious snow hits us some of the trees are left thinking “… but I’m not even done dropping my leaves yet!”

Man vs. Nature

Man vs. Nature

From the City Hall (Love Park) tree-lighting ceremony, about 10 minutes before the tree was lit. If you look in the lower-left corner, you’ll see part of the gaggle of…

Christmas Proposal

Christmas Proposal

I went downtown today for the lighting of the Rittenhouse Square tree, and came away with a shot I hadn’t expected. The guy pictured (whose name I don’t know, but…

Power of the Sun

Power of the Sun

Second in the series from Laurel Hill Cemetery. While browsing memes today, I stumbled across Genre Cookshop, which is Nancy Bea’s photoblog. Nancy was along for the shoot and the…

Aerial

Aerial

I’ve got a lot to get done tonight and have very little time, so here’s another shot from Ralph Stover Park.

Golden Fall

Golden Fall

Dusk on Drexel’s campus, taking advantage of in-ground lights. In fact, I believe this is the light from this fixture, which I’ve photographed before.

A River Runs Through It

A River Runs Through It

This intentionally overprocessed shot came from Ralph Stover State Park. The soft glow (part haze from the fog, part postprocessing) makes it feel like a painting (to me, at least).

Red Maple

Red Maple

A fairly trite shot, but it is of our favorite tree in the back yard.

Tarp

Tarp

Recipe: unroll (1) blue roofing tarp over back yard to let dry overnight. Snap pictures next afternoon. Repeat as necessary.

Autumn Drive

Autumn Drive

On the way to Jake’s day care yesterday, I snapped this shot out the driver’s side window. The framing of the shot suffered a little bit from my actually driving,…

Damp Oak

Damp Oak

Given that people seem to like my nature pictures, and I’ve just found out that Sue really likes leaf pictures, this seems fitting.

Deadwood

Deadwood

Probably the last in this series. I haven’t done much photography in the last week, so we might wind up with one more. Sarah suggested enhanced deadwood in an older…
