First Ride
FINALLY! The weather has warmed up enough that I can creep from hibernation and go biking again. And, what’s an inaugural ride without a GoPro to shoot all of the photos I can’t be bothered to stop and take myself? In retrospect, it was probably counter-intuitive to convert all of photos of the glorious, spring ride into black and white, but I feel like I had to do something to set them apart from all of the other biking pictures I post.
I’ve set a personal goal to bike 1,000 miles this year, and today’s 20 mile trek was my first step.I just hope I can keep up the momentum,

Outrunning Winter 4
Since I’ve been uploading GoPro images from my bike trips so often, I’ve started to look for alternate routes to keep things from getting too stale. I didn’t have much time to explore, but I did manage to explore a new way to and from where I work. First, I went through some back roads behind the country club and then I found a new vantage point for one of the Twin Lakes behind a local tavern. On the way back, I found a middle route between the short and long ways home.

Hot Air Balloon
Have you ever run in steel-toe boots? It’s not as bad as it sounds… for about the first 100 feet. Then it gets awful. But, these are the pains I happily endure to get quality photos for you, dear readers. A hot air balloon drifted through downtown, and I was compelled to chase it down to get the best angles.
Labor Day Flag
I’m not posting it on Labor day, but I shot it on Labor Day, so that has to mean that the title is still appropriate.
Bees are Hard to Photograph With a Phone Camera
Bees are a pain to shoot with my android because they’re too small and too fast for the focus to find them. The firefly was cooperative though.
Latest Wedding Shoot
I finished editing my most recent wedding shoot. I wanted so badly to share some of these online, but I couldn’t until the entire shoot was finished editing all 32 gigs and got them sent off to bride and groom. I’ve got a some of the more artistic ones on here and a few more are up on my wedding site.
Returning To Twin Lakes
I had more yard work to do, but I brought my DSLR this this time so I don’t have to rely on my camera phone. I lucked out, since the birds were feeling friendly. Normally they hang back at the tops of trees and close to the water, but today they stuck close enough to the road that I could get clear shots with my 24-70mm and 50mm.
Of course, I shot more than just the red-winged black birds.
And, because all of you just love toads:
