German Bridge

I went to the German Bridge Area of Dewey Lake this morning.  This is a somewhat remote wildlife management area.  I've never found the water there particularly clear, but it is usually still.  So where's the bridge?  It's a low, concrete thing and nothing special to look at, although I did stand on it for 2 of these shots.

I'm not completely happy with any of my pictures from today, but I do think the area has a lot of potential and I intend to return frequently.  

May Flowers

So much green here now!  Hard to believe that the long, ugly winter is only a month or so behind us.  Ann's flower garden isn't in full bloom yet, but there are some great spots in it already.

Brokeh

It's that time of year.  Ann is starting new plants from seeds.  And that means a broken pot or two.  The title is a pun for photographers, a combination of "broken" and "bokeh," the latter being a reference to the quality of the out-of-focus parts of the picture, which in this case is most of it.  The little 22mm lens for the Canon EOS M has nice bokeh, in my non-expert opinion.

May 4: Jenny Wiley State Park

It's been another busy week, but I found time for a Sunday morning outing to Jenny Wiley.  There wasn't much fog this morning, but the light was bright, the air was clear, and I found, as almost always, a few good opportunities at the park.

Foggy Morning at the Lake

It was foggy this morning at Dewey Lake.  The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that we cannot step into "the same river twice."  Because the water is forever moving and changing.  And so it is with the fog at Dewey Lake.  Year after year I go to the same spots, many times, and fog is forever changing and so always changing the scenes.  Even minute to minute, the scenes can change dramatically.

But enough pretentious quotation of Greek philosophers.  Here's what I saw at the lake this morning.

A Short Trip

Ann had to go to Louisville for a business meeting, leaving Wednesday afternoon and returning on Thursday.  The weather was beautiful and I decided to tag along and carpe diem.  I went for an early morning stroll with the small Ricoh GRD III in Lousville while she went to her meeting.

To avoid hitting 5 pm traffic in Louisville, we made a brief stop at Lexington Cemetery on the way on Wednesday.  All photos there were take with the Canon EOS M and 22mm lens - an excellent lens for the money these days.

RIP Big Forked Tree

You will be missed. By one guy with a camera anyhow.
