I suggested the other day that I might post a new photo (or two) of our our grand daughter Glenyce Jane. So here you go.
This was an informal capture from yesterday morning. Perhaps I’ll get some more. . .

In case you are counting, this is the third Harvest Moon photo I’ve posted in the last couple weeks. Why do I repeat myself? In part because I like full moons. And thieves, sailors, lovers and vampires love them. But the best reason is to illustrate the fact that the same subject (the moon) can have very different looks given the variables of time, place and composition.
This shot is very similar to this one. But I thought I would show you how I experimented with the leading lines that were present – in particular, the road, the fence and the horizon. Incidentally, this is an HDR photo in which I combined two exposures. Which do I like better? I can’t say. . . .

Since I posted a “dusting of snow” photo a couple days ago, and since we are really beginning to see fall colors, I figured it was appropriate to post a “colorful maple tree” photo. Though I’ll have to admit that this is from the 2012 archives.
I took this one in late September last year on a class field trip to Sica Hollow, a state park about 90 miles north of Watertown, South Dakota, where I live. Enjoy!

I don’t normally take requests for this blog – largely because I don’t get them. But yesterday, Brad H, one of the instructors at Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown, South Dakota, saw me and told me I needed to post more Alaska photos. He said, “You must have more than we’ve seen on your blog!”
The fact is that I do have more but I’m trying to show my versatility by posting other photos. 🙂 But, because Brad asked for one, here’s a whale for you.
We saw many whales on our cruise to southeast Alaska in August but only once did we see one frolicking as this one was. Though “frolic” may not be the right word since experts don’t necessarily agree on why they jump out of the water. Whatever the reason, this young whale put on a heck of a show for us on a day that would have been perfect even if he/she hadn’t shown up.

Yes, it is October 1st but no, the snow hasn’t started falling yet. But it could do so soon. Such is the nature of living in the upper Great Plains. I’m guessing that some of my readers are more enthralled with snow than I am. I would also guess that many of those same people live in places where snow is a bit of a novelty. But it isn’t a novelty to me: I don’t like winter all that much, in spite of the fact that it provides attractive photo opportunities from time to time.
Incidentally, this isn’t the first time I’ve photographed this scene.
