I was chatting with Ron the other day. He and Debbie will be taking an Alaskan cruise this year. We talked about taking the camera. Ron has been taking photos for quite some time. Thinking about our trip last September I pulled out some of the shots taken in the “Butterfly Garden” on Victoria Island. [...]

Friday Photo – Framing
My friend Spencer, as well as instructor photographer Hugh Scott, described a way to frame in the camera using the elements in the scene you want to capture. Here I am hoping to capture one of my favorites, the reflection, the structures above and below the water provide something of a natural frame.
On a [...]
Friday Saturday Photo
A few weeks ago Charlie and me looked for some photo opportunities after the snow. We do like the reflecting pool at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. Floating in the very shallow pool was this “snow glacier.” Yes, that is my description. The online version does not quite capture the detail in the [...]

Cabin fever had set in a couple of weeks ago. We ventured out and along one of our favorite routes sits this old forgotten house. There seems an uncanny quiet and stillness after such a snow. Could be the absence of traffic. Maybe it is one of those aftermath moments we are given to take [...]

In a lull from the freezing rain I put out some food for our feathered friends. You can see how the ice has [...]
Friday Photo – Lighthouse on Lake Hefner
Tuesday the fog rolled in. I made a visit to the hospital and then had a lunch appointment. Lake Hefner was on the way and I was a bit early. There were a number of photo ops around the lake.

Hugh Scott taught a photography class at OCCC I took with Tommie and Charlie. He told us of one of his favorite places to photograph lightning storms was parking garages. In fact, one evening we found him there after class.

In the aftermath of the Oklahoma Blizzard of 2009 a variety of birds came looking for food. Perched ready to feed on our suet feeder was this beauty.
These friends are quite skittish. The “hubble,” as Charlie calls, it came in very handy.
Friday Phto – on Saturday
Everyone has a different name for their grandmother. Our is “Nanny.” To her grandchildren it is “GG.” She celebrated her 95th Christmas (94 yrs old). We consider it a privilege to still be celebrating with her.
One of our family traditions is drawing names for ornaments. We then purchase or make an ornament that conveys something [...]
