This morning, as I was leaving for work I was greeted by this unusual sunrise over the mountains to the east of where I live.
These are the mountains by which my father was born, lived and died. These are the mountains that he saw each day. He painted them many times. He hiked them well into his seventies. He loved these mountains.
If my dad was still alive, he would be 99 years old today. (That’s right, folks…he was born on this day in 1911). I’m going to be 40 years old in just a couple of weeks. If you quickly do the math you will realize that he was 59 years old when I was born. He was a very unusual man in many ways.
Happy Birthday Dad.

Yeah…I know…you were expecting a flower or something. I had a hard time trying to figure out what to photograph today. Whenever that happens, I just have to remember to look around me and try to see something in a new way. This photo is of a spring attached to a desk lamp, but with a little macro and a little lensbaby magic, it turns into something hopefully interesting.

This is the season when you are going to see a lot of flowers in my 365. After all, it’s what I traditionally have enjoyed photographing the most. It’s nice to see that the photos this year are better than the previous years snap-shots. I’ve learned a lot about DOF and composition that tends to make the photos more interesting.
I’m not really sure what kind of a flower this is…if you have any idea…please enlighten me. It’s one that comes up each year in my yard.
Today we have a bonus photo too. It’s one of the orange tulips from yesterday. the colors turned out very interesting, I thought.

A couple of years back I gave my wife some orange tulips for mothers day (at least I think it was mothers day). They were in a large glass vase suspended just above the water line and were growing with no soil. They were beautiful while they lasted, and after they faded and died I wondered if they would actually grown if I planted the bulbs…
Guess what? They did…now each year I have those same tulips to enjoy growing in my yard.

This might be the first year that I am able to grow my tomatoes all from seeds. I have five plants that are doing great, two cherry and three ‘regular’ size. I still have a few weeks before I can plant them outside. So until them I’m really babying them by carrying them outside during the day and bringing them in at night. There is something about growing things that is fascinating and fun.
