    What's you favorite flavor?

    Fall Colors

    Ever notice when fall arrives, our woods take on a new palette of colors? On a walk in Blendon Woods I remembered a story about a young girl, who when asked what her favorite flavor was, answered, “red.” As a grade schooler I think blue would have been my answer.

    The fall colors of the hardwood forests are still new to me. I’m accustomed to the golds and yellows of my native Colorado aspens. These fall colors of the Ohio Valley almost overwhelm me. I”m not sure I could select a favorite color. The reds pop out at me but only because of the green and yellow and brown and orange colors. So, I ask this simple question, “Do we even need to have a favorite color?” Can’t I just claim them all as my favorite flavor?

    Wandering the streets…

    Number 59

    My work has shifted my photography. I now find myself wandering the streets for images more than wandering country/mountain roads in search of open scenics. I drove to a small town north of here called Delaware, Ohio. Small little college town with a coffee shop called The Mean Bean. The mocha was okay and I enjoyed the ambiance. I found these mail boxes just down the street and was called by the patterns and colors. I’m curious what the differences are between the two suites and the rear unit. 🙂

    Thirsty?

    Thirsty?

    Our world of advertising sure knows how to entice and call our attention to their products. This image was taken as I walked out of my hotel for a walk. The delivery truck was parked in front so all I could see was the red color, which they say is a power color, and the sign. Since my camera just happened to be hanging around my neck I took this image.

    Red Doors

    January 28, 2009
    The Broadway Pub

    I am drawn to doors but in this image it the color red that calls out. I find doors with bright colors calling out my name and when they are tall and narrow, I stop to take some photos. However, the red of the doors, the red striped awning, the red sign in the window and the red lamps are what make this image have its power for me. I like the shadows across the sidewalk and the reflection in the window. When you add the customers in the window it all makes for a cool street scene.
