100 and Counting...

I've reached a little milestone today, it's my 100th post, here's to the next 100. In the fall of 2006, thousands of these pink tulips were planted around the city of Lewiston. These two photos were taken during a dreary, rainy day last spring. I posted a photo a few weeks ago taken at the same time but these are a couple of different shots. On a few of the pictures where I used a real wide aperture (f2.8) for shallow depth of field you can see raindrops frozen in the air because the wide aperture caused a fast shutter speed.

Making My Own Spring.....

The calendar says spring is in two weeks but outside it still looks like the dead of winter and it'll be a while before all that snow melts. I decided to create my own spring; last November I planted tulip bulbs in a pot and put them in the refrigerator, in early February I took them out and put the pot by the window and this week they started to bloom. The photo posted today is a close up I took yesterday, it's nice to see some color. Along with this yellow there are some purple ones, I may take some more photos this weekend.

A Splash of Color....

I need to see some color so I went through the archives and I'm posting a couple of photos I took last spring. It'll be a while before we see any color outside. After all, we do have mud season to look forward to.
