You know what scares me? My daughters (both of them) reactions to bees. Everything is calm, and suddenly a bee appears and you would swear a ten foot mass murderer just appeared and was chasing them down the street. All sense of rationalization goes right out the window; hands waving wildly, shouting, sheer panic. It … Continue reading »

Quick Shot
I have this game I used to play with the kids and their cameras in their phones. I’d be driving and I’d yell of a subject I’d see and they’d have to get a good picture of it. To do so, that’s turning the phone into camera mode, framing and shooting. The results of which … Continue reading »

The snow fell lightly as you can see the small pellets which landed on the surface of the … Continue reading »

Weighed down with a problem, an hour later I returned to see the plant more upright then when I first encountered it, the sun assisting with the melting of the snow, the plants problem melting away. With time things often get better, be it clearer understanding of the situation, adapting to it, and then hopefully … Continue reading »

Dances With Sparrows
Here at Finding Subjects we sometimes have what we like to call ‘Dances With’ moments, when we encounter an animal in the wild and it hangs around just a little longer than it normally would, giving us a really cool and personal meeting. This Sparrow sat still on the branch, tilting his head from side … Continue reading »
