OK, this is it! The last of my Photography favorites for 2025. As I’ve noted before, all of my photography ends up on Flickr, where I really try to organize things into albums for convenience. (I also use Flickr for image hosting on this site, so there’s a lot of stuff there scattered throughout that isn’t mine. These are always noted in the image descriptions.) In terms of photographic gear, all photos are currently taken either on my Lumix FZ1000ii (“Miranda”), or my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (“Ophelia”). Now, the photos…and at the end, my six favorite self-portraitsDown the rabbit hole….

It was a good year for photography. Wow, that was easy! Next post! OK, I’ll go into it a little more.

First, I started getting a lot more confident about just taking the picture. I used to hem and haw and wonder if it was the right shot or if I should or shouldn’t be taking that person’s pictureDown the rabbit hole….

A pretty significant winter storm rolled through the northeast the other day, and Buffalo doesn’t tend to get hit too hard by these when they roll through; we’re generally on the outer fringes of whatever dumps snow and ice (or rain) on the northeast corridor. But we did get some ice out of the deal. Here’s the resulting ice as it coated the berries that were left behind on one of the trees in our backyard. Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

A couple photos today, from a morning walk I took a month ago at the Charles Burchfield Art and Nature Center in West Seneca. Yes, I said a month ago. It seems that I edit my photos with the same philosophy that I use to edit my stories and novels: I let them lie fallow without looking at them for a while before I bring them all into Lightroom and then go through them. One of my favorite visuals in any forest is when sunlight shines through a small gap in the trees, creating a shaft of golden light thatDown the rabbit hole….
