Spanish moss, Back garden, Roscoe

This is the result of about an hour's test of my new lens, the Olympus 17mm f/1.8. It seems to have what I look for most, clarity or transparency, a term I can type and name but have a hard time describing. There just seems to be nothing between me and the object.

Creche, Lutheran church, N. Roscoe

This is one of the nicest creches that I have seen in recent years. So simple and to the point.

Roadside trees, Roscoe Blvd. N.

Fall colors. Country trees.

 Weese inspired afternoon yesterday.

I should explain. Carl Weese has a blog called Working Pictures, highly recommended, and trees are a current theme. His Weese weeds are a high point too. He has turned an international loose collection of photographers into hydrantologists. He is also a highly regarded large format photographer who has an ongoing project photographing the disappearing drive-in theaters around the country. His blog is one of about 7 that I can count on to inspire my own photography.

Roscoe extension swamp

 At the south end of Roscoe there is an extension that goes between the Intra Coastal Waterway and a lovely swamp. I go down there often just to look and photograph. The Fall colors are evident now, in November.

Trash day, Roscoe

 This giant Pink Floyd poster was left for pickup on S. Roscoe. Very funny sight.

Fence and shadows, Solano Rd.

House and lawn, S. Roscoe

House and Live oak, S. Roscoe

This is a beautiful lot with this incredible tree.
