Well the rain here in NE Ohio has been relentless fortunately I made it out to shoot last week.  I had a tough time making images as the forest lacked the clean shots I like to take.  I liked this one because of the detail and color.

I was looking back through some of my files and came across this one and I really liked the abstract nature of this shot and the great color.

This was taken at North Chagrin Reservation. There was an area right in the parking lot full of bluets so I spent about an hour shooting different angles.  This is my favorite.  Proof you don’t have to go far to find a photograph.

I got up very early two Sunday mornings ago and headed down to Furnace Run Metro Park in Richfield to shoot some daffodils.  The park’s website says that the land the daffodil trail is on was owned by the first metro parks director and he planted the first bulbs along the trail.  There are now more than 30 thousand daffodils every April along the 0.6 mile trail.  I shot this one with a very thin depth of field to showcase the great detail in the flower’s center while producing a background that looks very much like a painting.

Spring is slowly coming to NE Ohio so I’ve been refreshing the look of the website.  I’m replacing the galleries with iPhone friendly controls.   Keep an eye on the blog.  I have something pretty cool coming up soon.
