More hiking on these precious days off. It’s been cooler than normal, and we are taking advantage of it.

Or is it a Cloud Tree?

This one was fun. Looked out the window and was sitting next to this beautiful rainbow in the sky.

Starting the day early. Cool air, no traffic, and it seems like the coffee tastes better the earlier it is. I hope it was a good day for everyone.

Out and about today, came across this full size fake tree with plastic pink flowers. Made for a fun shot.

Long four-day trip. Always good to be back home. Daisy is doing her best not to look completely annoyed by having a phone stuck near her face.

Empty, seems to be the theme the past few days. A nice walk around SLC this afternoon, after a long day at work. Tired, and a little emtpy.

On the mend, finally. A longer walk and some strength coming back!

I might be over the hump and on a healing trend. Body temp peaked 2.5 degrees above normal two nights ago and was just up 0.5 degrees last night. Feel slightly better with less coughing. Sheesh, I’m ready to move on from this thing. Another short walk today, not much energy. Pictures took a back seat today.
This dog, 🧡 I love how she folds her paws together.

Another day of being down and out. Very short walk today just to get some steps in. Daisy got a 7 mile walk in earlier this morning with the OH. This was just a short one to keep me company.

Another day of being totally out of commission. I haven’t had a cold/flu this bad in a long time. Very short walk today, captured a plane flying through the open blue sky. Energy-wise, that’s all I got!
Hope it’s a safe, beautiful day. Make someone smile today. ☺️
Oh, and don’t forget, take more pictures!
P.S. Just a thought I’ve been mulling over, even if you don’t journal, taking pictures is a life-journal of sorts. If you scroll back through your phone’s camera roll, that’s your life. Now, I still think you should journal and attach those daily photos to your journal, but if not. Take more pictures, because that photo roll can be your journal.
Even if it’s mundane things, capture that moment. We aren’t taking pictures so much as capturing snapshots of time in your life. Look at all the joy and things you have remembered by scrolling back through your pictures. It’s powerful. Photography is powerful. Capture your life. Snap away.

Quiet day on the photography front. Home, sick as a dog with a bad chest cold. I went out for a short walk, but the coughing soon forced me back home. I can’t complain, this past year I’ve beaten back almost every cold/flu. This one got me good.
It was this picture or one of a tissue box. 😊 Stay safe, everyone.

Tried pushing the iPhone (and my skills) to the limit on this one.
Birds in flight are tough enough, but with an iPhone, you’re mostly just hoping for the best. I fired off a lot of frames in RAW, knowing the sensor would meter for the bright sky and leave the bird in shadow. Shooting RAW at least gives you a chance to recover shadows and highlights.
Zooming in tight was basically impossible, so I shot wide and planned to crop later. This isn’t a bad result, all things considered. It’s heavily cropped, and I used maximum shadow recovery to pull out detail in the pelican, which gives it a slightly “crispy” look—pretty much the classic sign of heavy shadow recovery.
Still, for a bird‑in‑flight shot on an iPhone, I’m pleasantly surprised.

This church/school has shown up before, but I can’t resist its lines and how it looks in flat black-and-white. It ended up being the only photo I took today, grabbed during a 4-mile walk with the dogs. Trying to shoot while juggling two dogs is just about impossible—especially with my two unruly ones. The rest of the day has been all office work and no shooting, sadly.
