050516: May Begins

It’s a rainy start for May this year here in the Catskill region. I’ve had a couple of opportunities to get outside with my camera in between raindrops.

My first stop was the garden – I know, flower shots – what a cliche! But when the world around you looks so good you can’t ignore it.

And this delicacy is a very brief treat.

Stop number two was my favorite neighborhood quarry.

Interesting rocks with a few fossils (all brachiopods) mixed in.

This last image is something of a group shot – a handful of local fossils sitting on my shooting table.

These last two images, both of which have been seen here recently, will appear in two shows opening on Saturday at WAAM, the Woodstock Artist Association and Museum.The “mushroom” cabinet image, taken on my recent trip to the Florence Museum of Natural History, was chosen to appear in Far and Wide, the 8th Annual Woodstock Regional.

And in the downstairs gallery, the image below received an Honorable Mention in the Small Works Show. If you are in the area please drop by. The opening reception for both shows is 4 – 6 pm.

Thanks for the visit.
