My Photos

Meeting House and Super Moon

Saturday (March 19, 2011) night at 10:10 Pacific Time, I posted this to Facebook:

I better go out to look at the moon while it’s this close.

I took my obsolete Kodak CX7330 camera to capture the historic event: the once-every-18-years (?) super moon.

Here’s my favorite of the resulting photos:

Fall Apples, Roadside

Yesterday morning, early, I rolled the garbage can out to the side of the road.

And decided to take a few early-morning, sun-rising fall photos. Of the maple trees. And the fog.

Then I looked west down the road.

And saw the fallen apples.

blurred beauty

going to waste
fall apples, wasting away

I’m thankful I could see those apples at that time of day in that kind of lighting with that kind of background.

Hazy Sun

Yesterday morning I went out to unchain the dog.

I saw the sun rising on the just and on the unjust.

I shot the sun.

And the van and the door and me and the floor and the boxes.

Hazy early-morning sun reflects off our van

It also reflects off my pate!
Hazy sun on floor
Here it is, sneaking in through the somewhat-ajar door.

Having sneaked in, it climbs boxes from Rod and Staff Publishers.

Many cheers for sunshine!

Above all, love God!
