For the past several weeks I've been quite absent from Flickr, and I apologize for my lack of comments! I've had ideas and dreams of starting a blog for over a year, and I've finally been able to put it together! If you have a chance, please take a look and let me know your thoughts.
I have TONS of fun things I'll be posting soon, but I think you'll be able to at least get a general idea from the posts that are up now. One small note is that those of you very familiar with my Flickr photos may recognize some photos from time to time, with either expanded descriptions, recipes, etc. Please bear with those "older" photos and I assure you I'll be posting lots of new work as well!

There's nothing like a wind chill of 12 degrees to put a damper on outdoor shooting, so this was all I could manage for today. I can't wait until spring!

Not because of this robin necessarily, but there were plenty of birds singing today, and what is more I saw my first butterfly on the wing this year - a Brimstone.
Surprisingly, this seems to be my first photo of a European Robin on flickr, despite it being such a regular bird that is often easy to photograph.

They've restored this ghost sign that was uncovered with a building demolition. I believe Coca-Cola paid for the restoration.

I was walking back to my car yesterday morning in downtown Raleigh and saw these signs stapled to a bunch of wood against an abandoned building. Seeing this made my morning. I've heard that the person that puts these up might be a regular at Slims in downtown Raleigh -- so well done person who goes to Slims a lot!
I posted this last night on my Facebook & Instagram and got a bunch of requests for prints, if anyone else is interested in buying one shoot me a message via Facebook or here on Flickr.
Here's to hoping this doesn't end up all over Tumblr with no link back to this source...
Here is my workflow if anyone is interested:

This is the Golden Gate Bridge. No, I did not take this photo. Now, what number should one call to get the counseling to keep them from making the plunge?
Those of us who left our hearts here back in the 60s have gone back to get them.
Would you like to be in a coffee shop discussing Plato and see somebody spill hot brew on their naked laps. The shrill of their screams would be deafening, huh? Huh? What?
