In just a few words I will say, that the last two months have been... Busy. But now I am back. Unfortunately almost all of my photography has been editing, almost no taking almost no pictures, I do have a few from the zoo, and a this one:

He is  huge now, larger than tu t'appell! I would never have guessed that when discovered he was about 6 months old. It is amazing to think that a cat who was so old was so small, every day I am so happy to have found him.

     Now for some anticipated zoo pics, I would like to go back and try again at a few of these, but I am  generally happy with the outcome.

 

Where is my winter?

So... it is now December, and although we have seen frost and ice, we still have had no measurable snow! This is unacceptable nature. The top two pictures were taken last Friday of ice on the top of the pond at Baltimore Woods. The last is from Beaver Lake.

This chunk was about 8 inches from tip to tail, there were hundreds of these in the pond.

This is a little scary, thousands of birds on such a small lake put a large nutrient load on this system. Unfortunately, many people do not like large amounts of birds on more popular bodies of water and so, the birds are chased to these smaller more easily affected areas.

Day Hike

  I went for a hike today at Baltimore Woods near Marcellus New York. It was a short one only a few miles. I always try to keep a camera on me, to catch that brief moment in the woods. This is a picture of a woodpecker making his way to some delicious bugs.

I thought I would post up a pic of my photo shoot with my band this past Saturday afternoon. We are a prog/metal rock band. Enjoy!

Autumns Waining

   November is here and although the warm weather has been a treat, I can only hope that snow is quickly approaching. I am part of a small portion of the New York population that openly invites harsh weather to our region. As much as I love the changing of the leaves and the cooling of weather, I also await winter with open arms. To pay tribute to this beautiful fall, I have added pictures from this time of year, and I hope to replace them soon with ones of white and cold.

 View from the boat on Canonsville Resevoir, this is where I got my first picture of a Bald Eagle

Tripods allow for great stills, and also to help give a subject among the leaves.

Jones Wedding

We are gathered here again to witness... an Alice and Wonderland themed wedding! Today I shot the ceremony and reception of Chris Jones and his beautiful bride Nicole Rojek. It was a wonderful treat to be part of this wedding. Between the wacky hats, neat decorations and wonderful costumes, participation by guests in this trip to Wonderland was unanimous. The decorations were something of a marvel, between the enlarged playing cards on the walls and ceiling, the teacups with flowers on every table and the paper lanterns on the floors for aisles this was a wondrous adventure to send these two into their life together.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
