The fun in photogrphy for me is not only to observe the variety in nature but to also have a challenge. In our Chicago Area Camera Club Association we have a special category digital competition. It is a challenge and fun to try out different photography styles. All the pictures that are entered in the competition are posted on a Smug Mug website. This way you are not only challenged to try out a certain technique on your own, but you in turn get to see all the other entries and how other photographers imagined the subject. There are some amazing photographers in the Chicagoland area. This past months competition was black and white plus one color. I was happy to learn that my Marsh Marigolds won Best of Show and my Red Barn won an award.

First Snow
The first snow of the New Year is here.
It is the nice picture taking kind that sticks to branches.
It is fun to take pictures of paths and streams and close-ups.
It is nice to have a ravine a block from our house that we can go and explore.

January Ride
Here is the start of another year. So what are some of my first photographs. Wayne and myself out for a bike ride with our dog Sebastian. We wouldn't have been able to do this last year as there was snow on the ground. It was just nice to be out on Kenosha's bike trail.
