On the Trail of an Amateur Photographer

Spooky Plates on Halloween Night

2009-11-24T09:24:00.000-08:00

This one has been in my camera for a while...we were at "Trunk or Treat" party at the church...our game was to toss random rubber critters onto black skull plates.
As it grew dark, I started resorting to various methods to find the (black) rubber critters that had missed the (black) plates and fallen on the (black) pavement. Copious use of glowsticks was one. As this picture shows, camera flash was another.
I just thought it looked cool.

Rain-Spotted Flower in a Bush

Took this right after a mild rainstorm. This is actually a red berry bush (you can see blurry berries around the edges), but a random plant had grown up through the bushes and flowered.

That Doesn't Look Good

I don't think manhole covers are supposed to fountain water.

Taken at school, where the road was flooded from this.

Up Close and Personal with a Buffalo

at the Mayborn Museum.

Got some weird looks as I lay on the floor to take this picture of the stuffed buffalo in the Native American room.
