Week 18: A different eye

May 12, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

Whenever I go on my weekly photo hikes, I go for a very specific reason... to take photos. I may not have the location mapped out before I leave home, or have a plan for what photos I want to take, but for those few hours my sole focus is taking pictures. For this 365 … Continue reading Week 18: A different eye

A walk in the clouds

May 6, 2012January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 20 Comments

"... not all those who wander are lost." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien When I go in my photo hikes, I spend my hours outside looking everywhere for something new, or interesting. I've knelt in wet leaves and lain prone in sand to get just the right angle on a shot. I've climbed on rocks and wended … Continue reading A walk in the clouds

A splash of color

April 29, 2012January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 22 Comments

I spent most of last week moving in slow motion. I had a routine medical procedure that took three days to prep, submit, and recover. It wasn't drastic, or traumatic, just too freakin' time consuming. So, once the weekend arrived, I took full advantage of the gorgeous weather - sunshine, cool breezes, and fluffy clouds … Continue reading A splash of color

Will it rain today?

These fickle, fuddled words confuse me Like 'Will it rain today?' ~ Dave Matthews, "The Space Between" As much as I love trekking to the beach on bright sunny days, I love even more heading to the Gulf when the weather is not so pretty. Watching and photographing storms rolling into shore is exhilarating. Last … Continue reading Will it rain today?

Off track

April 14, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 26 Comments

I've been whining lately that I'm running out of places to go on my photo hikes. I've done beaches, I've done the local state parks, I've found out-of-the-way trails that aren't on any maps. What could I do to mix things up? I was getting tired of taking the same photos over and over, changing … Continue reading Off track

Half a tank

April 8, 2012January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

Gas prices are killing me and severely thwarting my photo road trips. If I gas up in town it's around $3.90/gal, a short drive across the bay into Tourist Town and it jumps over 20ยข. Despite the higher petrol costs, we've been inundated with out-of-towners. Meaning I have to reconsider where I go for my … Continue reading Half a tank
