Maple

Posted in macro (tags: flower, maple, spring) | No Comments »

I spent a few hours on Sunday pruning our raspberry bushes that surround the lone maple we have in our yard. Hopefully they will all prosper a bit more as an end result since my arms are showing the effects of the battle with the raspberry bushes.

About

Simply put, this is Ramin Miraftabi's photoblog. It is an offshoot of my main (in English) blog, randomfire.

I decided to start photoblogging to better challenge myself photographically. We've been publishing a daily photoblog of dog pictures (The Life of Jalo) since September 2004 but I wanted to branch out a bit. Originally I tried to adhere to the picture-a-day approach, but that didn't work. Partly because some days I ran out of time and other days I had good images left over. So now my goal is just to publish a new picture every day. It'll also let me play around a bit more with post-processing, which LoJ doesn't really do.
