First Images

This image is one of the first taken with my new D7000.  To take a break from the Georgetown postings I think I will post some of the first set of images taken with the D7000. Still getting acquainted with the camera, but so far it is a joy to work with.

Urban Bamboo

Planted on a parking strip in NE Portland. Two winters ago, during a snowstorm, this group of bamboo, loaded with ice and snow, were laying horizontal on the street. After the snow and ice melted they bounced back up as though nothing had happened. 

Icy Imprint

On By Fred KingIn LeafLeave a comment
A couple of weeks ago, early in the morning, I walked behind my wife’s car and just pulled a leaf off of her rear bumper as I passed by. I then stopped, because the leaf did not come off as easily as  I thought it should. I pulled it slowly off the rest of the way and realized I was looking at an icy imprint of the leaf. I went into our house and grabbed my camera before the ice turned to water and was able to capture a few images I will be sharing, like this one.
