Long life

This was dad’s 95th birthday. Mom had invited some of his friends over for some snack and drink. I drove out there like I used to do to spend a day helping celebrate his birthday. Mom died a year later, almost to the day of when I made this picture. Dad moved to Indianapolis last… Continue reading Long life

Twenty twenty four knocking on the door. I’ve been putting pictures on Picturelongmont for 23 years. In 2001 I was building a library of images of all the buildings up and down the main streets of Longmont. Google did better and soon after rolled out their street view maps. In 2004 I was taking pictures… Continue reading hny

A statement

This image leans in the category of abstract. I’m not sure but last I checked it seems people like to put labels on things. I don’t. I like this for a reflection image. It’s also a good example of highlights getting over cooked resulting in some melting around the edges. Lastly, it’s a statement crop.… Continue reading A statement

Sometimes nothing

Sometimes I want to make a picture of nothing. In this case a reflection of something. How about something shiny. They do this kind of thing all the time when like testing a new lens for sharpness. I was testing my patience.

Yellow house in snow. This was Longmont. I liked the looks of the yellow house and in particular how it looks on a snow day.

Condo in snow

Looks peaceful with the snow and early day sunlight painting shadows across everything. I like how the sun and shadows on the roof contrast with those on the ground.

This image from our first year at the condo. West wood branch flowing some water. I might have stood in it to make the reflection picture.

Mystery why tire tracks stop there. Life sure is full of mystery. It’s something every day.

Not again . .

If soft focus trees turn you off, then Picturelongmont might be a disappointment for you. I’m coming to terms with my fascination of forests as subjects here. I like the colors, the lines, the contrast of light and shadow. I like to put paint and distort filters on the images. This forest scene is from… Continue reading Not again . .

Be very careful

There are many cats watching you. They are patient. They sit and watch, learning your ways. You are not safe anywhere on or near the ground. I tell the bluebirds this warning every time I see them. I hope for the birds to be smarter than the cats.

Not here

The condos at prospect new town had just been built when we lived in Longmont and I was filling up the photo albums here on Picturelongmont. I liked the neighborhood because in my thoughts it had interesting architecture. Too close together for me but interesting.

The old maple

The maple is one of my favorite trees at the condo. I like its looks. But it is a dirty tree. In the spring it spits out leaf shoots that cover the ground and get stuck in everything. Leaves fall constantly. All year. The twirly seed flyers fall constantly and plug up everything. I have… Continue reading The old maple

Now with canvas

I like the canvas filter. Don’t use it too much. I like it here on the west wood in winter stand. We’re getting some rain this morning.
