Spring

Caitlin — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 03:20:03 +0000

There still may be snow on the ground (despite technically being spring), but that’s not keeping the tulips from blooming…inside at least.

Family Portraits

Here are some of the families that have been keeping me busy lately:

Small Town MN

A recent roadtrip took me through some small towns in Minnesota. Here are some of the shots from that journey:

Yester Spring

I’m attempting to finish last spring/summer’s collection of pictures, before the gardens are in full force again. Lofty goal. Here are a few of the gems.

Memories of Warmer Weather

Caitlin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 05:12:19 +0000

As a method for coping with the current sub-zero temperature and piles of snow, I decided to work on pictures I had taken during the summer, in order to remind myself that this frozen hell does not last forever. I continued my experiments with texturized landscapes, as well as a requisite flower. I am particularly fond of the coloring on the first lake image, a product of serendipity.

Gale Woods Farm

Today I visited Gale Woods Farm, where I found a little of everything to photograph: livestock, landscapes, and of course, insects.

St. Paul Brickyard

I took advantage of my day off on Monday to explore the St. Paul Brickyards, a.k.a. Lilydale Regional Park. The park includes a nice (but short) hiking trail, a few waterfalls, and lots of fossils. While it is one of the least photogenic places ever, it did have more spiders in one location than I have ever seen! The skittish creatures were not used to company, however, and quickly dispearse; the extreme slope and soft soil added to the challenge (especially where changing lenses was concerned), but it was fun nonetheless.

I did get quite a few sweeping panoramics of the St. Paul skyline, and will post those when I have the patience to deal with them.

A Rose from Any Other Angle

Field Trip

Caitlin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:39:16 +0000

This weekend, I took a trip to one of my favorite fields. What makes a field a favorite? Well, this one has a giant log pile that makes for a comfy, sunny reading spot, and is even better as a vantage point when deer come out to feed. While Bambi and friends were oddly absent that night (I’ve never before gone there without seeing at least one deer; usually there are upwards of twenty. Perhaps they too were up North for the holiday weekend), I found lots of bugs! When I leaned in to get a picture of a beetle, I looked up from my camera to find the giant spider inches from my face – good thing they’re docile. I did bring more ticks home with me though; boo urns on that account.

Garden before the Storm

Caitlin — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:34:54 +0000

I stopped by the University of Minnesota Arboretum to scope out the location for a photo I am having in a few days; while there, I couldn’t help but stop and smell photograph the roses (and all other flowers):

I found an awesome spider chillin’ on a white iris, but it didn’t want to play…until dinner came along:

On the way home I was chased – and eventually caught – by a bit of a storm:
