Week 52 - 52 Photographs

Here I am at the end of 2024 and my last favorite photograph of the week.

This week is a photograph of a robin I took on a morning walk at Manchester Meadows Park. I like the over the shoulder look the bird is giving me.

Week 51 - 52 Photographs.

This was a good week for photography. A lot of different subjects and one new location to try out.

But my favorite photograph for the week came from Manchester Meadows Park, a place I go to every day to walk Roxie and to photograph whatever I see.

This week it was the rising sun on a foggy morning.

I posted the photograph on three Facebook groups and was surprised by the response on one of the groups. It had the highest number of responses and positive comments of any previous photograph I’ve posted.

Week 50 - 52 Photographs

This week’s photograph was taken on the 124th, the last day of the week.

The week got off to a very slow start with cold and rainy days. The first day I got out to shoot was Thursday. I did get some very nice photographs of a Northern Mockingbird, but was happy to get this strange photograph so I didn’t have to post yesterday another Northern Mockingbird.

Week 49 - 52 Photographs

Well this week got off to a very slow start. Cold weather and a sore foot kept me from going out to shoot.

Finally, at the end of a walk on the 6th, I spotted a Northern Mockingbird and was able to get this photograph.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

Week 48 - 52 Photographs

When you get up before the sun, you often can see some remarkable sights in the sky.

This week’s photograph of the moon and Spica was taken at 5:18 am. Spica is that little white dot just below the moon.

Spica is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo and one of the 20 brightest stars in the night sky. It's also known as Alpha Virginis, and is located about 250 light-years from the Sun.

Week 47 - 52 Photographs

Back to my Week 10 subject for this week’s favorite photograph.

Roxie napping on a November afternoon. My favorite subject to photograph but one that I don’t do very often.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

Week 46 - 52 Photographs

 This week’s favorite photograph was taken on the first day of the week, Sunday, November 10th.

I usually see numerous Northern Mockingbirds during my walks at Manchester Meadows Park. And over the last year and a half have gotten some very nice photographs of them. But this one could be my all time favorite. 

Usually a Mockingbird will fly off whenever I get too close. But this Mockingbird just did not want to leave where it was perched. So I pointed my camera at him/her and got this photograph. It looks perturbed that I am photographing it. It looks grumpy due to my interruption of its morning by taking a photograph.

So, here is the Grumpy Old Northern Mockingbird photographed by a Grumpy Old Photographer.
