Renascence


We've been walking in the park almost every day. I'm feeling both the loss of color and the gain of b&w. It causes me to see patterns and shapes and color and contrast. I think this is my favorite so far.

Marker

One morning in the park, almost three years ago, I asked Sandie to marry me. She said yes.

I carved our initials on a nearby bench where many others had left their mark.

It's nice to see that they are still there.

Connected

I went back on my color day to take more pictures of the fern. :)

Squirrel Zoo


There were so many squirrels in this yard, including two white squirrels -- a rare species, I imagine.

Sacrifice


Yesterday, at the park, was the first day that I *really* felt my Lenten sacrifice. The birds were chirping and everything was blooming and the sun was beaming. Oh how I wanted to capture the colorful glory.

But it felt good to take a deep breath and recognize that all was well and I would have that opportunity in due time; and most of all, to trust that everything was exactly as it should be.

Guest Photographer



These were taken by one of my photography clients. We were out shooting and her camera batteries ran out. I handed over my camera and she had to figure out how to adapt from an LCD screen to an actual viewfinder. :)

I think she's learned so much about composition and light in a few short weeks!

Phat Tuesday Pancake Dinner - last burst of color for a few days




Tomorrow, I set my camera to black and white.  We will not fast from color on Sundays during Lent because resurrection days are not for fasting.  Some people say that's just for wimps, but I say it's just good theology. :)

See Through

Not a great composition, and I tried several different crops, but I could not bear to lose any of the glorious bokeh.
