Through the Green

Photo #124

There I was in the rain forest, and I was super frustrated. I could not get the pictures I was picturing. There were several reasons for this - the first being that I was stupid when I chose which lenses to bring. Then I could not get my old camera to do what I want. Add to this a lack of cooperation from both the weather and the local fauna. It was not the jungle photo walk I'd been hoping for. That said, I did get a few keepers, and this is one of them.

As I get further away from the photo-a-day lifestyle in seems that more and more of my photographs are concentrated on those lucky occasions when the Mrs. and I get to go a weekend jaunt. This shot was taken on such a getaway to St. Mary's, MD, in what the local may call the Eastern Shore. It is the kind of place with many colorful yet overpriced things.

Day 323



I don't know why they make green ice cream cones, and I really don't know why we bought them, and I totally have no idea why my kids think they are awesome. Didn't stop me from taking a picture of one though, right before I filled it up and ate it.

Day 54



The Week of Green wrapped up in New Orleans, which I must say is such a fantastic place for photography. This was the second of many many pictures I took there on this trip. Two more will make it here for Days 55 and 56, and the rest are making there way up to Zooomr.

Day 53



I'm a bit behind on posting these shots, since we just got back from a trip to New Orleans. This shot is from the slightly less exotic Dulles Airport in Virginia, where we spend 12 hours because of cancelled flights.

Day 52



This bulb just doesn't care that it is still winter. It's going to do its thing anyway. You gotta respect that. Side note on the title - I like words that are both nouns and verbs.

Turn Me On

Day 51



Here at the house of Roth, we go through hose bibs like most people go through potato chips. This green beauty is the third in this location in less than five years. Figured I should capture it before it too needs to be replaced.

Green Power

Day 50



I'm finding that it is not so easy being green in February. So I guess you can consider this picture a hybrid between a keeper and a shot that just keeps the streak alive.

Day 49



I wish it were this green outside, but until it is, I'll have to make do with houseplants in the morning sun.
