It’s been an unusually warm winter in Philadelphia, but it was still surprising to find flamingos in the park across the street. They must have been unwell, because they were smooth and shiny and didn’t move. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/February-2023/Feb-miscellany/i-f58Df2c/A Rick -- %

#**&%#& Wires

Our part of Philadelphia has beautiful Victorian architecture. It’s very hard to photograph it because our part of Philadelphia also has lots of overhead wires: electrical, telephone, trolley (tram), and goodness knows what else. In some other parts of the city the wires are buried. Sigh. It w

GESO (5) - Woodlands Cemetery

The weather is messed up. The maple tree in front of our house has early leaf buds, and I decided to take the camera for a walk in Woodlands Cemetery to see what other signs of (very) premature spring there were. So far, there isn’t much spring-like apart from the green grass and the weeping wi

GESO (7) - Penn Campus Walk

My long walk a few days ago included some of the University of Pennsylvania campus. The stained glass is in St. Mary’s Church, which has a very progressive Episcopal tradition. It occupies a corner of the Penn campus, but is not part of Penn (the church was on the land first). https://rickwom

Oh, yum! Is the grey-and-tan creature closest to us the spider, or the amber-colored creature below it? Rick > On Feb 20, 2023, at 2:17 AM, David Mann wrote: > > *** Arachnophobe warning, contains spider. *** > > http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1199/#peso > > K5ii, FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro >

I like these, Subash. The colors and compositions work very well. What are the white wrappings around the bottoms of the trees in #4? Rick > On Feb 20, 2023, at 12:08 AM, Subash Jeyan wrote: > > In june last, i applied for working from home (with a reduction in pay) and > shifted to Palakkad i

GESO (9) -- Another neighborhood stroll

My camera and I were restless again yesterday afternoon. For variety, I used my DA 50-200 instead of the usual 17-70. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/February-2023/February-19-Walk/ The plant with the red berries in the fourth photo is “heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica), according to my pl

Re: PESO: Sunset Glow

That’s a nice shot! I was on Maui for a 5-day conference several years ago, but was not in a place where I could include Haleakala in a sunset pic. I did visit the summit, though—it almost seemed an alien planet. This is a shot into the summit crater. (From what I read, it is not considered a v

Re: PESO - SNOW!

As others have said, this is a great shot! The facades across the street are an unusual and very effective background. Did you use flash? Way down south here in Philly, we had a small enough number of snowflakes that one could have counted them. Rick > On Feb 27, 2023, at 9:37 PM, ann sanfede
