A fern unfolds in this photo.
Araucana chick
May 10, 2012 19 Comments
This is Charlie. She’s an Araucana chick, about one week old in this photo. She and her two nest-mates (another Auracana named Pete Mitchell and a Welles Sommer named Ramekin) will stop being cute in another week or two. Time is of the essence! What kind of “cute chick” photos should I be taking? The opportunity [...]
Hammer and Nails

You’ve seen me post photos of chickens. As of last Friday, we had six. 5 ISA browns and a Barred Rock. They’re a bit destructive, so we had to keep them in their little chicken yard (they tear the grass in the lawn up looking for snacks). Last weekend we expanded their yard with an extra [...]
Stone Wall

I don’t know what you see here, but to me, it’s pretty obvious that the rocks for this wall were quarried from different locations. That doesn’t mean I’m right, but it sure looks that way.
Icicles forming

I took a couple hundred photos of some icicles forming about three weeks ago. Here are two that I really liked. Hope you enjoy! Why so many photos, you might ask? Even with a camera with fast shutter speed, getting the shot with a drop of water less than an inch away from the icicle [...]
What is IT?

About two years ago, as part of the monthly photography scavenger hunt I participate in, we were asked to take a photo to represent the phrase, “This is it.” It was just after the Michael Jackson film of the same name came out. I wandered the streets of Manchester, taking various photos of the letters [...]
Candle Flame

I like taking pictures of fire and smoke. Maybe because fire is analogous to life. The way it moves and feeds. Perhaps I just like the patterns fire makes. Maybe because answering the question, “What is a flame?“, is so hard. (How’s my punctuation on that last sentence? No time to look it up [...]

A photo of a vase I encountered on a family vacation, and its contents’ shadows.
Winter Corn

I lived most of my life in Arizona, where you can grow corn all winter long. Here in New Hampshire, this is what the corn looks like in January… This image was taken with me bending all the way down to the ground, the camera just a few inches above the snow.
The Baker’s Ring
March 4, 2012 19 Comments
The other day I was making pizza dough, and coated my hands with flour before remembering to take my ring off. I slid it across the counter (get it away from the dough – no one wants to find that in their pizza). We thought the flour trail looked cool, so here’s a photo. If [...]
