On A Windy Day

March 27, 2017March 27, 2017by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment

I thought I was seeing no wind on today’s weather, but it turns out I was looking at an old image and the app hadn’t refreshed. Turns out today was quite windy, and photography was not going to work well. Still, I simply had to shoot a dogwood I spotted. You can bet I’ll go back this week sometime if the wind dies down!

For now this is as good as I could manage.

Sometimes They Disappear

February 27, 2017by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments

Since I walk a great deal in my neighborhood I get to know the plants pretty well. I know where I’ll see iris pop up. I know where the magnolia with the yellow blossoms is located. I know a favorite dahlia spot. And I know knew where to find a most amazing blossoming tree. (I believe it was a crabapple.)

Alas, the house was sold, and the buyers knocked the entire thing down, destroying all the plant life with it. This tree is no more. I will miss it. Blossoming Tree, 3.10.15 blossoms_i_3-10-15 blossoms_ii_3-10-15

Someone I know and love gets to go to Yosemite this weekend. Someone else does not, so she is making herself feel worse by looking over photos from trips in the past. But so it goes. The life of a musician includes a lot of weekends where other people go off on trips and the musician stays home to work. It’s just the way the job works!

And Sometimes

… the best camera is the one you are carrying. In this case it wasn’t either of my Canons.

When I saw this tree I just had to stop and play around a bit, despite not carrying my cameras on this particular neighborhood walk. I’m going to guess people who saw me thought I was a bit nuts, but I suppose people think that whenever they see me!

I’m looking forward to another snowy day in Yosemite. As you can see from the date (I date these mostly so I can locate them easily!) this we the last day of December, 2015.

Tree Identification

November 1, 2016November 1, 2016by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment

Sometimes it’s not easy to identify trees. This one was a challenge … and I’m still not positive, but a few of us are coming up with Crataegus phaenopyrum. If any reader disagrees please do let me know!

In any case, I find it quite beautiful!
