Ivy Creek Trail in the Colorado National Forest
This image of the day comes from a National Forest trail that is so green during the summer it looks like a rain forest. This is from about a mile or so down Ivy Creek Trail in Colorado, one of many hundreds of images I came out with on this particular day. Walking the Ivy…

North Clear Creek Falls Colorado Long Exposure
This image was taken way way down in the river bottom. It is quite a hike down to the river and most shots are normally taken from the parking lot at the very top of the falls. This is North Clear Creek Falls in the Colorado Rio Grande National Forest, just a short drive away…

Busy Streets of Downtown Birmingham at Night
I wanted to throw something a little different in there today for the image of the day, like an image of the night instead. One of my favorite times to shoot anything, photography related of course, is first light, last light, and at night. At night you can get some really unique perspectives you can’t…

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park Utah is a Must See
This is the famous Delicate Arch from Arches National Park. We visited there around 1998 and again in 2002 when I was able to take some of these images. The park is an incredible place. It is hard to even get a perspective of the park from an image like this. The arch here is…

Using the Beauty of Simplicity in Photography
Sometimes I really like abstracts for their simplicity. This image was taken in Gainesville, GA (not the “other” one in Florida), on a mountain pond. I almost didn’t stop to take the shot but I am glad I did. Â This particular shot was one of the first sets of images I did on film back…

Callaway Gardens and Cecil Day Butterfly Center
Butterflies make great subjects. They stay still for you, or at least, they land some place long enough for you to usually get a half way decent image. You can also be creative when shooting butterflies. Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain Georgia has one of the best butterfly displays anywhere in the country. They have…

Macro Photo of Grasshopper on Barbed Wire
We all just need a place to hang out sometimes. Of course, we can’t all balance like this guy. I love macro photography, it gives you a chance to look at something very close and expands the number of subjects you have on any given day. This grasshopper is not very large as you might…

Sticking with the Spring feeling outside today, the Image of the Day is a Cardinal Flower, taken in Birmingham Alabama a few years ago.

The Reddest Red Found in a Flower Bloom
Some images just jump out at me when I see them in nature, this one I loved because of its deep color. This will be posted as my first image of the day on this blog. I love contrasting colors in nature and two of the best (in my opinion) is when you can find…
