Photography is my passion and perhaps some day my vocation. This is the journey.

Planes and Trains
Been watching lots of transportation lately. Spent a day at an airport and was lucky enough to see a Stearman Biplane flying. Then went with my son to watch the train go by. As always, I had permission to be where I was and never trespassed. It was a fun couple of afternoons.

More Autumn Pix
Lately the weather has been from the 60's up to the 80's and this weekend it is going to bottom out with highs in the 40's and 50's. All these cool temps have the leaves church.

The Leaves They are a Changing
The leaves have been somewhat slow to change this year. One of the trees in the yard has started and the light was pretty as it made them glow.

Heron Overhead
My son said there goes the heron. I managed to snap one good shot which I cropped to get rid of some of the background.
The Duck Whisperer
Went to the park today with my son who had a few pieces of bread. The ducks sure liked him. You might say he was a duck whisperer for the day. In fact, he didn't have to say a word.

A Red Eyed Fly
We are waiting for bad weather to move in and the insects are too. This little red eyed fly kept landing on the bumper of my car. So I tried to get as close as I could without him flying away. Here is a cropped version of one of the photos.
A couple of hours before the eclipse
Unfortunately the clouds moved in for the eclipse and the red moon. I had to settle for a picture of the moon a couple hours before the eclipse. It was almost a full moon. You can watch the moon grow larger through the pictures.

The Sky Clears Back Up
Well, yesterday it was overcast and rainy. Tonight is cold and clear and the moon is out. Here it comes.

Big Preying Mantis
My neighbor texted me to let me know there was a preying mantis on her window. I grabbed my camera and headed out and realized this was a big honkin' preying mantis. Here are the pictures. It is a dull overcast so I upped the ISO to make up for the drab light.

Another Clear Night
It is supposed to storm tomorrow night. A big cold front is supposed to come through. I thought I would get another shot of the moon tonight while we have clear skies.

Watching the Moon Grow
It has been clear the last couple of nights so it has made taking photos easier. It is amazing how much the moon "grows" from one night to the next. Here are pictures from last night and tonight.

Pretty Sunset
It has been overcast and today it cleared up. There were just enough clouds to make a pretty sunset. It got dark and faded quickly.
Cicada Hanging Around
Walked outside to see a Cicada sitting on the storm door. I was only familiar with the ones with red eyes but this was another species.

Up In The Sky
So, I've been seeing things in the sky lately. First the Met Life Blimp and today a Piper Cub. It is always interesting when things are flying by. Just as quickly as you see them, they are gone.

What is that Bird?
I went to the park the other day and saw a raptor flying around and fishing in the lake. I thought it was a red tailed hawk but I'm not sure. If anyone knows what it is, shoot me an email at daylilydreamsphotography@gmail.com. Here are a couple of pictures I managed to get.

Snail in a Shell
Was walking around the parking lot of the small apartment building and happened upon this little snail. He was where he would get run over by the cars, so I moved him closer to the bushes. He went up into his shell but finally came out. I got a picture of him starting his slow journey.

Crepuscular rays
As the sun was setting behind some cumulus clouds, the rays known as Crepuscular Rays burst out of the clouds. It was pretty to see.
A Pretty Daylily
I've been next door taking pictures and got this one. I love the contrast of the orange against the green background.

Posing For a Picture
Saw a robin in a tree and managed to get a couple of shots. He looks like he is posing for his picture.

Busy Little Bee
The flowers are fading so the bees are going elsewhere. Still I managed to get one good shot of a worker bee gathering pollen today. They have such hairy little bodies.

My Neighbor's Irises
Oh my gosh, my neighbor has the greenest thumb and lets me come take pictures whenever I want. I noticed that her i
rises were in bloom. She has yellow and light purple but this dark purple and white iris is the prettiest one I've seen. That's why I wanted to share it with you!

Azalea Dreams
I pass by these Azalea bushes every day and can't help but photograph them. For some reason they are hard to focus. I tried using a Pentax with a manual focus 28 mm Macro lens. I managed to get this picture.

It's a Ladybug
Phase two of the Spring, the bugs are coming out. Soon I will be trying to capture the butterflies but today I found a ladybug sitting happily on a Dogwood bloom.

Springtime Flowers
If it is Spring, I'm usually taking flower pictures, Summer, it's bug and butterfly pictures. Here is a picture from today.

A Sunny Bright Day
As promised, here are some pictures of the dogwoods with yesterday's sunny very blue sky. Now if only I could get that and no wind. It would be a win-win situation to take photographs.
Another Perspective
It's windy today and the sky has thin high clouds. Not the fluffy kind that look cool in the background but the blah kind that kinda washes out the background. I tried to go out and take pictures anyway. I decided to take some pictures of the dogwoods looking from below aiming up toward the sky. This is the one from today. I'll post one from yesterday in another post.

By the Light of the Moon
There is a cool crescent moon out tonight and it just begged me to get the tripod and the camera out and go try to get some good shots. I like how this one turned out.

Ahhh the Warm Weather
It seems as though Spring has finally arrived. We have a week of 60 to 70 degree weather ahead and it makes me forget that it snowed just a little while ago. Another great reminder is all of the flowers that are beginning to bloom. Thanks to my neighbor's green thumb, I get to go out and appreciate the beauty!

Dandelion Delight
You know the weather is getting warmer when the dandelions start appearing. Even though it is a weed, it is still a pretty flower.
