CBWC: Cameras or Photographers

I’m a little behind for this particular challenge, but that’s okay, better late than not at all. This one took a bit more time and thought into what I would post. I decided to post my dad’s cameras as he is the reason behind my love and enjoyment of photography.

I do not have a picture of my dad holding his camera, however, when my mom passed ( 23 years after my dad) my brother gave me my dad’s camera case which included his camera, lenses, and flash. This meant a lot to me because my dad and I were close. Having a small portion of what meant a lot to him brings some joy.

My dad started taking pictures way being I was thought of. I remember him taking pictures with this camera whenever we went on family vacations, during birthdays, holidays and extended family gatherings. Most of his pictures he took using 35mm film he had developed onto slides. When I was in high school I won a moped & sold it so I could buy my own camera just like my dad’s.

***His other Camera case***
***with his “newer”***
***Minolta camera & lenses***

Just by looking at the camera, one can tell he got a tremendous amount of use out of it. This camera is one he bought after I was out of the house. The one I remember the most is the Minolta XG-7. He never went on a trip without his camera. I am thankful I also have my dad’s slides which I have slowly been attempting to digitize. It is still a very slow work in progress.

Rainy Day Expressions in B & W

It’s been raining off and on all week. Today, it been raining steadily since the wee hours of the morning. Ever try to keep a rambunctious three year old happy and entertained? That’s my world. It’s not always easy though. My grandson, Coleman prefers being outdoors in nature, especially in the woods.

***So I decided to snap a few of his many expressions with my iPhone 14 Pro Max in Black and White.***

***These are all of my grandson, Coleman.***

***My most favorite subject to capture.***
***One never knows***
***the facial expressions***
***he’ll give you.***

***Anything from sticking his tongue out … to one showing irritation*** … ***to smiles …***

***I love the hugs***
***and the loving.***

***Decided to play around***
***with some collages.***

What y’all think? What’s your favorite subject to capture on film?

Midweek Monochrome #121: Groundhog Day

Did you know that Punxsutawney Phil is accurate less than half of the time? Yes, it is true. It is estimated Phil’s forecasts have had a mere 39% accuracy rate since they began in 1887 (although data from some early years is missing). One could merely toss a coin and be as accurate as Punxsutawney Phil. However, if you ask the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club they would state that Phil is always correct. What do you think? Is Punxsutawney Phil always correct? Do you watch & listen to his predictions?

***Upside down Squirrel***
***Seven Oaks Preserve Trail***

Can squirrels predict winter? Well, maybe. Punxsutawney Phil is a squirrel. Groundhogs are squirrels. Groundhogs are one of the largest members of the Sciuridae family, which includes squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, prairie dogs, and more. Did you know that? Maybe, maybe not. It is an interesting true fact.

***Squirrel looking for food***
***Andrew Jackson State Park***

Did Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow this morning? According to folklore, if he sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, spring comes early. For those of you who love winter, you’re in luck. Today, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so we will see six more weeks of winter weather.

***Begging Squirrel***
***Andrew Jackson State Park***

I don’t know if you believe groundhogs can predict winter or not. I’m not sure. Spring never begins before March 20th anyway. It would be nice though if the cold dreary days could be over and the clear warmer days could begin sooner. That might only be wishful thinking since it is predicted for us to have six more weeks of the cold winter weather.

***Squirrel gazes with interest***
***Andrew Jackson State Park***

This being Groundhog Day, I chose to delight you with my favorite Squirrel photos. Happy Groundhog Day!

The Beauty of Hearing a Bird Sing

Cee’s Black and White Challenge:

In my neighborhood this time of the year I don’t hear or see many birds. So when I took my grandson, Coleman for a short walk out the back door, I was delighted to hear a bird singing. Even though storms may pass our way, I am blessed and thankful for what God has given me. I am thankful for the blessing of hearing the beautiful bird’s song.

“Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn’t people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?”
– Rose Kennedy

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.

Main Hospital Soldiers Home
Dayton, Ohio

This is actually one of my maternal grandfather’s photos I inherited after his passing when I was 12. It is very precious to me. On the back of the photo, he wrote what the name of the place. My maternal grandfather, Harvey Martin Watson, stayed on the fifth floor of the building on the right side of the photo. While he was there he received treatment for a wound he received during World War I. I not only gained a photo, but a piece of his history as well. That in itself means a great deal to me. It is extremely precious and definitely appreciated.

God bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.

Midweek Monochrome: Swinging, Hiking, & Kayaking — Pleasurable Activities to Enjoy

Good day and welcome to my blog. Today my photos have a multi-purpose. One purpose if for Brashley’s Mid-week Monochrome (MWM) Photography Challenge, next is Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge (CBWC), and lastly, Travel with Intent blog’s One Word Sunday Challenge – Curve. I’m a little behind on posting the Sunday Challenge, hope y’all do not mind.

Swinging in Riverwalk Greenway: My grandson, Coleman loves taking a break from our hiking on the swings in the Greenway.

When hiking, we encounter various #curves along the trails.

Kayaking is a blueway activity that is enjoyed by many in the Carolinas. One can see Kayakers on the Catawba River at Riverwalk and several other locations along the river.
