Payoff

I hadn’t gone out to take pictures in a while, so yesterday evening I forced myseld to get geared up (yes even the dorky photo vest) and get out the door to take pictures.

As I’m walking down the street feeling not particularly inspired, I noticed a shadow on the pavement and the fact that the light finally started to warm up. I turned around, and well, wow! I love this shot, taken just a quarter mile from my home.

Thank goodness for living in a neighborhood with trees.

I did punch up the saturation on the colors a bit in Aperture.

This close up view of fungus growing on a tree branch reveals an intricately detailed mountainscape in miniature.

Note the bud pushing out of the branch, despite it’s apparent handicap.

Cards

It can be hard, outside of the movies, to find date night activities that don’t revolve around food. Lately we’ve added card games to the mix. Simple games like Uno are still a lot of fun.

Some are content to blend in, others not only stand out they appear to parade their differences.

This guy is Pterois miles also know as the lion fish or more dramatically as the devil firefish. They are not native to the American Atlantic coast, but now can be found a along it.

Surf’s Up

Giant, color changing panels at the Georgia Aquarium add impact to the main lobby and give the suggestion of waves seens from underwater.

The white curved panels at the top suggest boat hulls on the surface. They also kind of remind me of the interior design at The Cheesecake Factory. :
