“Observing and photographing nature makes me realize who is truly in control, and believe me, it’s not us humans.”

Bringing a Smile
Yucca and Breaking Blue Sky This was taken after the snow storm had passed through the night. Nature has again created a winter scene for us to enjoy. For me the plowed and shoveled snow of our cities is not a pretty sight. These piles of snow with their sand/salt mixture and various liquid anti-icers and de-icers is not pleasing to me. I would rather see the winter scene as nature made it. I’m also not one to enjoy the cold that comes along with natures winter art but the scenes, even the simple ones, bring a smile to my life.

Door Knocker
What is it? Not sure what this is. It reminds me of a door knocker but it’s not. There were four of them along this wall I found while street walking. It’s one of those objects we walk by and seldom notice. For me the shadow along the right side adds something to the image. Its antiquity and the aging wood have these intricate details that I wanted to capture. Maybe it is a door knocker.

Bicycle Rack
Home for the Weekend Back in Omaha and walking the streets again. Not sure what it is about this bicycle rack. I’ve posted images of it previously so sorry here it is again. What strikes me about this one is the absence of bicycles. This bicycle rack is located at Union Pacific Railroad headquarters office building So, when I’ve walked by at other times the place usually had several bicycles. When I walked by this time it was Saturday afternoon and rather on the cold side. The bicycles were home for the weekend. I like the gray color and the play of the shadows. Oh how the light can change quickly. The image below was taken about an hour later two blocks away. An hour later the sun was back out.

Love the Bokeh
50mm @ f1.4 I’ve been playing around with with this Nikon 50 mm f1.4G AF-S lens and I do love the shallow depth of field and bokeh this lens offers. It just adds another tool to the arsenal in my bag. I’m starting to use it more.
