Walking around town: Chasing shadows

Walking around town at the end of June in my neighborhood, chasing shadows on a bright morning.  

 

More sunflowers

 The solitude and splendor of this rainy sunflower field still cheers me up even a few weeks later.  Playing with my macro lens on these.  

Walking around town: Black

On this walk from back in June, was seeking out theme black to photograph, decided to focus on metal fences.  So black metal fences it was.

Friday during a summer rain storm, I visited one of the sunflower fields out at McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area.  It was just me, the rain, and the entire sunflower field for over an hour (a fleeting escape from the stress of what was my week).  And my new toy - a small waterproof compact camera that has amazing close-up capabilities.  You can see the reflection of the field in just this one raindrop.  More sunflower photos to come.
