Hello to all and welcome!

I can't really say what you should expect to see here as I've never before tried blogging or anything similar. It'll have to be a work in progress. I'll probably talk about photography in general (and mine in specific) as well as point out different things that are going on that I find interesting or worth commenting on. If anyone (assuming anyone actually ends up reading this) has questions or suggestions on topics, feel free to let me know.

I'm here you're with me, here at the beginning of all things.

Roger

p.s.  Comments and feedback are very welcome.

It is getting really close to winter, so this might be the last fall photo I post until next year.  It was taken in the Czech Republic and I love the way the leaves on teh surface break up and, therefore, enhance the reflection.  Now if only there were some fish or something visible under the water.

I finally found a photo of a painted turtle.  Too bad I was looking for one back in July.  Well, better late than never.

Some things just make me smile.  It doesn't matter how often I've seen them; there's jus something about it that I find amusing, absurd, bizarre.  In other words, they make me smile.

Watching certain waterfowl feeding is one of those.  Not the ones you give breadcrusts to.  Not the ones that dive and swim, like loons or coots (although those are interesting to watch).  Pelicans are fun because they dive, but we don't really get those here.

No, the ones I like are mallards, canadian geese, and other who feed in a similar way.  The photo below may give some sense of why I smile when I see them.

I wanted to post something fun today.  I think this fits the bill admirably.

It's one of those days where I don't want to think too hard.  This is especially true when it came to selecting a photo for today.  Landscape?  Abstract?  Flower?  Animal?  Too much effort.

So, today's photo combines several of the above.  It is a macro shot from the Lake Harriet rose garden area that I tood many years ago.  I like the colors, shapes and textures.  Something soothing on a day that isn't.
