Civil War experiment

Last weekend we visited a Civil War re-enactment near Lambertville, NJ. The turnout wasn't that great and it was pretty damn hot, but I did get some decent shots. I took the opportunity to try out a new technique for making one of the photos look "genuine." For comparison, I've included the shot in splendid color.

Butterfly Festival, Pt. 1

Taken today at the 6th annual Butterfly Festival, at the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed.

Barn sunset

Horse scene

I hadn't planned to make this an artsy-fartsy shot, but the original image quality wasn't so hot. So using my trusty Photoshop plugins, I created this.

1953 Cadillac

Another from the Flemington car show...

Hay is for Horses

GTO Street

A gaggle of GTOs cruising down Main St. in Flemington, during the July 29 car show.

1954 Lincoln Capri dashboard

Shot today (July 29) at a classic car show in Flemington, NJ.

Sunset Steeple

Taken on location in Worcester, MA.

Rusty Gate

Bleeding Hearts

No, not those kind of bleeding hearts - the flower kind. Specifically, a nice example found at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum back in May.

Happy Birthday, America!

Taken at the July 3rd fireworks display in Flemington. That little white blob is the moon.

Oceanside Dormers

Something a little on the artsy side - also taken at Cape Cod.

Cape Cod sunset

Taken from the shore of Cape Cod Bay in Eastham, if memory serves.

Coast Guard Station - Eastham, MA

The caption pretty much explains this one. It was taken in the middle of the day, hence the slightly washed-out look.

Happy Trails

A lonely little snail makes its way along the beach during sunset. Photo taken on a recent trip to Cape Cod.

Spotfin Butterflyfish

Yet another one taken at the Norwalk Aquarium...

Calling all smartypantses

As easy as hosting my photoblog on Blogger is, the technical limitations involved have become readily apparent. At present, I am trying to find a way to divide my uploaded photos into categories on Blogger. That way, for example, if you (or I) want to browse all my flower photos, they are all just one click away. The current Blogger system of archiving posts based on what month they were published is rather useless, unless you really want to read backward through my entire posting history to find something specific. Not that I would discourage that, of course.

So, if anyone out there has any suggestions, lay 'em on me!

Any guesses as to what this is?
