    Something wicked….

    On this particular evening, as the sun was setting behind the clouds, the sky had an eerie kind of glow to it.  I was at my mother’s house and snapping a few photos here and there when I walked by her now bare walnut tree and noticed this shot.   What I didn’t notice until afterwards was the group of birds flying towards me.  I noticed them when I lowered the camera….I don’t remember seeing them prior to taking the photo, but there they were.  Large birds, normally gulls, are not unusual around my mother’s house.  She lives near a large river, which feeds into the Chesapeake Bay.  There are vultures that hang around that…

    Against The Wind…

    I took this photo of my oldest daughter in late November.  We were at the boat docks in the early afternoon as a storm was blowing in.  It was very windy, very cold….so she turned her back against the wind.  I was a bit further down the pier taking photos when I turned around and saw this shot. After downloading this image and processing it, I titled it “Against The Wind”.   The name came to me as I looked at it…her back to the wind, the sunshine versus the storm clouds….it reminded me of the song Against The Wind by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band…..specifically the chorus….
