A Human Touch
As soon as I saw that this week’s prompt was “Connected”, I thought of this photo. I rarely take photos with human subjects, but when my friend Jenny and I were roaming around on a photo field trip, this sculpture … Continue reading

In the Shadows
These two seem like fitting photos for this week’s photo challenge: Shadowed. This silhouette took me a few tries to get it just right. Â It was just me and my camera, so it was tricky to get this shot in … Continue reading
A Pop of Vibrancy
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Yellow.” The right shade of yellow can be such a warm, cheerful hue, and this week’s Photo Challenge feels like a nice pop of brightness during the winter season. I think … Continue reading
Cee’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge
I love it when a photo prompt has so much flexibility for interpretation like Cee’s “Converge” prompt this week. I find it very evocative, and it turns out that it’s a bit of a theme in many of my photos … Continue reading
Up Close and Personal with Giraffes
One of the cool things about going to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs is the giraffes. There’s a walkway that allows you to get to know the giraffes up close. If you have a few extra dollars, you can … Continue reading
