Flags of Old Town Alexandria

Photographed in December 2007 with my Casio EX-Z1050

Rub A Dub Duck

On a visit to the Mosquito Cove Trail in Sitka, Alaska I had the pleasure of encountering a few ducks out for a morning swim.

Photographs taken with my Nikon D5100 and post processed in Paint Shop Pro.

Snowy Mountain

Between traveling for a few days and picking up a nasty head cold I took a little pause on photo blogging. (There’s a reason the tagline says “a photo a day-ish”.) In any case here is a new submission for today. This snow-capped mountain is just outside of Sitka, Alaska. The first picture is what I came up with after playing with it in Paint Shop Pro for a little while. The second is the original. I obviously need to invest in some filters for my Nikon D5100 which is what I used for this photo.

Now looking at the original image you can see why the editing was necessary. Without it the mountain just blends into the sky too much. Time to go look for filters on Amazon.

Volcano

On final approach flying into Sitka, Alaska this view of Mt. Edgecumbe and an airplane contrail creates the optical illusion that the dormant volcano has become active again. Photo taken through the window of seat 27A with my HTC One M(8).

Presidents Day

In honor of Presidents Day I’m posting a couple appropriately themed photos today. This is Mt. Vernon which was home of President George Washington before, during, and after his presidency. Photo taken July, 2007.

In February 2009 I happened to encounter our first and sixteenth presidents in Old Town Alexandria on Presidents Day. Now if that’s not a coincidence of mind-blowing historic proportions I don’t know what is. 😉

I took both of these photos with my Casio EX-Z1050.

Ranch House On The Lake

I snapped this photo in East Texas in December 2003 with a 35mm single use camera.
