I took a few photos of Nicolet Park in Lexington Park in between appointments last week. For fun, I added the Orton effect, which adds a soft glow to the photos. It is a nice little park for a short walk, a baseball or basketball game, a visit to the playground, a skatepark for BMX bikes or skateboards, a picnic, or a splash park visit in summer. The snow made most of the exercise difficult, but I enjoyed sitting in my car to eat my lunch.
I have been fairly busy lately with the Christmas rush, so I thought I would make a few posts about interesting sights that I somehow didn't have time to post earlier. One day in mid November, I looked out the kitchen window and a single buck was passing by close to the house, enjoying the view. I raced to grab a camera and find an angle through a window that wasn't already too far away. The camera had a long lens on it, so I couldn't get pictures of the whole deer until he walked away. I wish he had turned to face me, but maybe he would have run then. I grabbed a few quick photos of him, before he wandered off. I rarely see a buck that close, except at dusk when they are hard to see.
I drove into the parking lot of St. Cecilia Catholic Church looking for a few trees with Autumn leaves still attached in late November. I was surprised to find quite a few flowers blooming and a beautiful red maple.
I played with some pretty flowers I got from the grocery store called Pretty in Pink. I used a technique called focus stacking to make it sharper.
