Project 366: Day 365 Our Legless Neighbor

~ Lenore Diane ~ 14 Comments

Another day and another capture just before the sun sets.

I am not a fan of spiders. Generally speaking, if the critter has more legs than I have then I’d prefer to keep it at a distance. However, I am a fan of snakes. If feeding snakes weren’t so heart wrenching, I’d let my boys have a snake as a pet. Alas, I had a pet snake for years, and I just can’t deal with the death of another mouse.

While outside with the boys (and camera), I saw our neighborhood rat snake crossing the street. I’ve seen her several times, but this time I had my camera with me. And, when she was sliding by me, I reached out to pat her, which put her in defense mode. Brilliant!

I’m not too jazzed about either one of these pictures; however, I’m afraid it is all I have at the moment.

One shot is of the sun, believe it or not. This morning started quite foggy and gray. While stopped at a red light, I noticed the sun covered mysteriously by clouds.

Once the sun reached a certain place in the sky, the fog and clouds disappeared. It was amazing.

The second shot was just one of those, “Let’s see how this turns out” kind of shots. If I look at it for too long, my neck starts to hurt.

Project 366: Day 263 A Tribute That is All Wet

There are countless photographers within the blogosphere. Happily, I follow the best of the best. One such ‘best’ is Mr. Spilled Ink Guy over at Refrigerator Magnate. He paints, he photographs, he modifies paintings and photographs, he draws, he slices, he dices, and he quotes movies! Well, I’m not sure about his slicing and dicing capabilities, but I’m comfortable enough to bet he could do both brilliantly.

The ride to school yesterday morning was a wet one. With camera in hand, I thought about SIG and his ‘wet plate’ technique. I haven’t a clue what ‘wet plate’ means, but SIG and the ‘wet plate’ technique are the inspirations behind this photo. If you are not familiar with SIG and his creations, I strongly encourage you to pay him a visit. I assure you, his ‘wet plate’ technique is nothing like my ‘wet windshield’.
