Tree leaf

So, I was in DC the weekend of June 5th and 6th to witness the Race for the Cure. Afterward, I wandered around with my girlfriend, her sister and her sister's hubby. Here are a few pics. The tree leaf one came out pretty well, if I do say so myself.

Pollen pool

A few weeks ago, I took this pic with the Nikoon P&S. It had rained earlier and we've had massive amounts of pollen in the area lately. So this is a pic of pollen swirling around in a pothole outside my bookstore. I had the flash on (haven't figured out how to adjust the intensity), so the pollen appears white, but trust me, it was green.

Red window in NO

With the weather clearing up, maybe I'll get a few more pics on this thing. For now, here's an oldie but goodie from my December trip to NOLA. I darkened this one a bit in Elements.

Burke Lake Park walk

Here's a shot from a walk I took around Burke Lake Park. There's something about the color and the shade that really did it for me, and I'm glad I was able to snap this pic.

Long time, no blog

Okay, I haven't done this in a while. So, I'm going to just post a pic and be done with it. I took this last December during Maryland's first major snow storm of the season. I liked it.

Ant Fight!

I did have one more thing to post. I found this ant fighting what appeared to be another ant while walking around the Downtown Albany Plaza. Wild stuff.

Downtown Albany, NY

So, I took my girlfriend on a trip to witness NY Giants training camp during the first week of August. I posted a bunch of football pics on FB, but here are a few from our trip downtown on Saturday. We had a good time wandering around and managed to get in a tour of most of the History Museum before it closed. These pics are mostly from the plaza. Most are self-explanatory, except the egg-shaped thing. Apparently, it's a concert hall, appropriately called The Egg.

P.S. I'm breaking a sort of personal blog rule. These photos belong more in an album, but I haven't posted in a while, so I decided to put up a batch instead of just one or two related pics.
