Amnesty Post

Okay, I've been sadly negligent in posting things here.  I've been busy setting up my photography blog, so I've been editing things, but once I got things up on the blog I kind of fell over from exhaustion. :p

Anyway... a few of the prompts I've missed...

This is Volo Bog in Northern Illinois.  This may be one of my all time favorite shots I've taken ever.  I don't do a lot of landscapes, but this one was pretty cool.  It's actually one of two that will be going into a contest as a set - this is the second one with wider perspective and a break in the clouds.

I've been too busy to remember to take any photos for the last couple of weeks. This one I took at breakfast one morning last week.

obligatory mention of initial posting to community

Hi all, I'm another LJ refugee, I'll try not to make myself a nuisance.

I see one of the old prompts is "macro"; I was just thinking the other day that I haven't shot any in a long time -- I've been using mostly film lately. Here's one of my favorites, from a couple of years ago.

I wrote a haiku about it:

Perfectly round red
shell--I'm always surprised when
a ladybug flies.

As mentioned, I'm new around these parts, so friends are always welcome.

Macro: One more!

So many of my photos are digital macro shots of flowers. What can I say? It's my weakness.

We just got back from a big trip to Salt Lake City, and I took about 200 photos while we were out there! You can see a selection of them here.

Peas in a pod.

I found local peas at the market last week. They were time-consuming to shell, but tasty and the pods were interesting to look at.

Closeup / Decay

I keep going outside to look at the tomatoes, which are producing a ton of flowers:

As if Dragonflies weren't big enough to begin with...

So apparently it's dragonfly mating season... fortunately I didn't get shots of that per se, but I did get some fabulous shots of the suitors and suitees.

From two different ponds in the middle of Chicago... (click to make the bugs bigger)

The last few days have finally been nice and warm so yesterday I picked the year's first strawberries.
