“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” — Steve McCurry

Thank you for reading and interpretation my ramblings and sometimes poor grammar. I think as I type so sometimes the words make sense to me at the time. I do not always to back and proofread.

Sunday, 07/07/2024: Posted photo — Triangle.

Was working on triangular composition this week. Took this photo today to use as a submission if I did not like the ones I took last week. There were many opportunities for triangular composition this week and decided on posting a different photo.

I am posting this one today since I like the contrast between the white and the blue sky.

Monday, 07/08/2024: Posted photo — Robin.

I was out spraying the roof of the cottage with a bio solution to remove the moss from the roof. I looked over at the barn and saw this robin in a nest waiting for food.

I climbed down from the ladder I was on, gathered my camera, and took this photo. I am not happy with the quality of photo that comes out of my 300mm lens, so I attempted to edit this photo to make it sharper.

Tuesday, 07/09/2024: Posted photo — Butterfly.

During my hike, one of the members of the group spotted this baby monarch butterfly. She had a difficult time taking a photo of it.

When we were hiking off the fire tower, the butterfly was still fluttering around the area. I keep my phone handy for emergencies, took it out and photographed the butterfly. I had to take a few photos to capture it with its wings open.

On the summit of Wachusett Mountain, there is an area fenced off. This area is normally not fenced during the winter months, just during the summer months. I noticed it last year for the first time.

There is a sign on the fence that stated that there is an endangered plant that is growing in the summit and this fence it to keep people out.

Thursday, 07/11/2024: Posted photo — Web.

I posted a web from this location a few weeks ago. This morning, I saw a different web. This time the sun was shining of it. Still not the greatest since there wasn’t any dew on it, but it was better defined.

Friday, 07/12/2024: Post photo — Rabbit.

I came home from work today and saw our friendly rabbit greeting me. I slowly stopped my car, took out my cell phone, and took this photo.

At times like this, I wish that I keep my good camera out of its camera bag and next to me. I have seen so many wild animals on my way home that I am not fast enough to take their photos.

Saturday, 07/13/2024: Post photo — Spoons in Cookie Dough.

This week’s photo challenge was spoons. This is my attempt at it.

I have been busy planning for a trip and did not have much time this week to do anything better. I wanted to do a fancy edit of this photo. Maybe I will do the edit soon and then post this photo again.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
