sunrise ripples

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Tim McMurdo

Waking up early is part of my daily routine. On week days, this leads to getting ready for work and the long drive in. On the weekend, the time is spent surfing, reading and going for walks at the lake. I look forward to watching the sun rise. During this particular morning, as I watched the sun coming up through the trees, a fish jumped in front of me. I was too late to catch the fish, but we can see the ripples that resulted.

In processing this image, I really selectively pushed the saturation. Blues, reds and yellows were all given a heavy hand to make the colors pop. I hope you enjoy the photo.

in the morning, I dreamed…

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Tim McMurdo

I love that second sleep. You know the one. It's early Sunday morning and you wake up for a few minutes, but you soon fall asleep again. Just for an hour or so. During that second sleep, your dreams seem more vivid, more real.

When you wake up, the dreams seem easier to remember and you can lay in bed for a few minutes with your eyes closed, soaking in the lusciousness that is half asleep, half awake.

Yes, I love second sleep.

more frosted leaves

I hope you are not tired of frosted eaves because I have another one for you today. After this image, I will lay off the ftrost theme for a wile, I promise.

hard frost

Sometimes even the harshest of Nature's weather can result in wondrous beauty. And so it was with Sunday's hard frost. Anything that blooms is now pretty much gone, but Mother Nature always gives us something else to enjoy.

sunrise overload

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Tim McMurdo

My weekend was that good. Every morning, I was able to wander over to see the sunrise over one pond, lake, or farm field. Sometimes I think that I must not be that bad of a person to be able to see such beauty. Sunday morning was the best. I stopped by Panera to get a large hot chocolate and then headed for the pond at Huffman park to see the double breasted cormorants wake up. I'll share those photos with your tomorrow. Today, you get the sunrise.

chilled farm morning

Foggy and chilly morning off Rt. 40 near Huber Heights.

river industry

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Tim McMurdo

Light industrial area along the Miami River just northeast of downtown Dayton. What caught my eye was the steam being released from the building amid the mist floating on the surface of the river.

How cool is this silhouette created in Dayton on Saturday morning? It's the water tower that I really adore. For some reason, I love these old dinosaurs. This image made the trip into Dayton in the wee hours worth the effort. The entire area around the ball park and near Canal Street tavern is pretty interesting from a photographer's point of view.

morning on the river

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Tim McMurdo

Sunday morning, the wind on the river was cold, but the ducks didn't seem to mind. Between us, we had the river to ourselves. If you were wondering, that is one of the steeples from Wittenberg University in the background silhouette.

Chill Morning on the Pond

Posted on October 18, 2011 by Tim McMurdo

The dawn makes me feel alive. The silent, still air, the brilliant color and the mist in the chill air combine to fill my senses. The dawn is truly awesome.
