Power Drive Revisited

The annual Power Drive Finals are coming up in May. High School Students from all over the region spend the year designing and building electric cars.

The day starts early with the teams getting in line for a safety inspection. You can see more photos from last year here.

Blooming at Sunrise

This is a photo from a few years ago.  It was taken in the morning while the sun was still low in the sky.  The flowers are long gone, removed when the landscape changed.

It's another old photo reprocessed with some new software in an attempt to coax more detail out of the shadows.

Spring is On the Way

It's getting warmer.  The weather forecast is calling for the mid-60's in the next few days.  Spring is on the way.

One of my neighbors is already working in his yard cleaning up the winter mess.  It won't be long before people will be out in their gardens planting things like these onions I found in a roadside stand a few years ago.

Bricks and Shadows

The afternoon sun casts dramatic shadows along the downtown skyline.  I particularly like this detail.  This shadow only appears for a few weeks in the winter due to the orientation of the buildings and the low angle of the sun in the sky.

The Snow is Here!

I was scheduled to teach two photo classes today. The college was on the ball and cancelled classes last night, so I turned off the alarm clock.  When I woke this morning, everything was covered with snow. It was still coming down. The flakes were huge. It's expected to keep snowing for a few hours and accumulate to 8 or 9 inches.

This is a snapshot taken with the iPhone.  It looks like we're going to catch up on some of that snow we've been missing.

Ready or Not, Merry Christmas!

The tree is decorated. The shopping is done. This is as close to a Christmas card as I will get this year.

Now, on to the gift wrapping.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

School Play - The Hunchback

Last night I attended my Granddaughter's school play.  It was fun watching a bunch of middle school kids do their version of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.  For a few more photos, click here.
