Dirty white truck, with greens I parked next to this truck last night, thought it could be a picture. #photography #truck #still-life #streetphotography

Color photograph of a white truck at night, parked underneath/next to a green leafy tree lit by a nearby street light.

My friend was growing some orchids in the yard, and among them was one that I thought was noticeably expressive, so just had to record it. #photography #flowers #orchid #bloom #metaphor

Color close-up of a pink Cattleya orchid with a ruffled, fringed lip and bright yellow throat, photographed from above against a blurred rattan background (chair seat).

Near lotus position at sunrise #photography #ocean #sunrise #streetphotography Shot at 1/4 sec trying to blur the water a little.

A shirtless man with a backward baseball cap sits cross-legged near the ocean's berm at sunset. In the foreground his footprints show the path he took to where he chose to sit.

This morning I was putting this week's yard clippings out to curbside for pickup, and happened to notice these Schefflera berries ripening up. The starlings and mocking birds will be happy. 🐦 #photography #berries #nature #closeup #bokeh

Color close-up of Schefflera berries in varying stages of ripeness, from pale yellow and orange to bright red and deep burgundy. The berries at upper left are in sharp focus, each with a tiny dark star-shaped mark on its tip, while a strand of more berries hangs down through the soft, blurred background. Glossy dark green leaves frame the fruit against a blend of sage green with yellow and cream highlights.

Coming back from my usual Sunday shoot at the beach this morning, I drove by these power lines. They weren't enough on their own for a picture, so I was glad when some birds came along to add some interest. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #birds #powerlines #silhouette #geometry #graphic

Black and white photograph of two wooden utility poles strung with power lines and ceramic insulators against a flat white sky. Three birds interact near the wires on the left — one perched, two others in mid-flight with wings spread, appearing to spar or chase each other. A curly slack loop of wire hangs from the right side of the frame. The image is in silhouette, giving it a graphic feel.

Birdless bath Yesterday I was looking at my bird bath minding my own business, when I noticed the water reflections shifting back and forth ever so quickly... there were breezes passing though. Took several frames, but liked this one. #photography #reflections #birdbath #abstract

Color close-up of a stone birdbath filled with rippling water, its rough-hewn granite rim catching soft light. The water's surface reflects overhanging leaves and dappled sky, with dark blurred foliage in the background due to shallow depth of field. No birds present.

I was stopped at a traffic light on a busy intersection looking over at this gas station wondering if there was a picture there or not. I still don't know, ha. 😆 #photography #shapes #texture #busyness #traffic #streetphotography

You're so right. Looks like they stopped making that one in 1996, so at least 30 years old. 🚘

Sometimes I try to take pictures while I'm driving in the rain. Very few are successful, but I kind of like this one... I tried tossing it into the trash bin, but it kept popping back out. 😏

Yes haha, I felt that too during the shot. Thanks Mike! 🙏

Thanks so much, qtip. Beautiful shot yourself. So true, they do look kind of smokey. And something about the atmospheric thickness attracted me. 📷

Before sunrise Started the day on a tripod, moved the morning into a cafe where I photographed a willing couple's chess match, and made one good connection in the parking lot. My idea of a fruitful Sunday. 😜📷

Long-exposure color photograph of a beach before sunrise. Dark, wet sand with lines of seaweed curves along the left, leading toward a calm, silky blue ocean. The sea reflects soft pink and lavender light from the sky. Along the horizon, stacked clouds glow pink and white, while darker blue-gray clouds hang overhead against a gradient sky. On the shoreline at left, a few people appear as faint blurred figures from the long exposure.

[Posting this again because I couldn’t stand the hideous typo I made in the previous.] 😬 Chess match cappuccino. These two were good sports to let me take a few during their gently contested morning chess match. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #streetphotography #chess #cafe #couple

Thank you, I appreciate that Marv. I hear you on the uninspired thing, happens now and then. For me, when that hits, I try to remember to play at it and take chances, and explore the unknown. Easier said than done, of course. Rooting for you, Marv. 💪

I charged my EV at a McDonald's charging station today. This touch screen display has seen its share of selecting, pressing and poking over the last few years, but still works great. #photography #design #geometry #streetphotography #EVcharger

Close-up of a public charging station's touchscreen, its surface covered in a dense web of fine cracks that grows thickest and most tangled at the center. Faint menu labels read "Details" and "Price," with a gear icon and a question mark at the edges. Below them, five round buttons in a row each glow with a small red light. At the bottom, a white oval holds the contactless payment symbol beside an outline of a hand holding a card.

A West Palm Beach scene from my car a couple of days ago. I was hoping the thin power lines would complement the detail of the buildings. #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #cityscape #wpb

Black-and-white photograph of the West Palm Beach, Florida skyline, shown low along the bottom of the frame, beneath a large bank of billowing cumulus clouds. A slender utility pole rises from the bottom edge to the top of the frame just left of center, and six power lines run across the sky, slicing the image into bands. Two construction cranes stand among the buildings on the right, next to a large mid-rise with arched windows and pitched roofs. A palm tree and a few apartment towers anchor the left side. The blurred foreground is a dark, soft-focus strip, suggesting the shot was taken from a moving car.

Not too successful at the beach early this morning. Felt like I was forcing it. Kind of funny, after a few shots I drove home and went back to bed. #photography #sunrise #clouds #ocean

Usually I leave the beach once the sun's up too high. Before leaving though, I noticed this 1st birthday photo session happening. Baby is inside the cute teepee. I exposed for shadows to show faces, letting the background blowout. #photography #beach #streetphotography #family #photosession

Color photograph of a family of 5 at a distance, involved in a beach photo session of their 1yr old baby, who they kept out of the direct sun sitting inside a cute little teepee tent. The background is completely blown out to white due to intense backlight from a midmorning sun.

A touch of greens from yesterday's driving around with camera. #photography #streetphotography #color #green #truck

Color photograph: A gray dump truck with a green folding ladder leaning against its tailgate drives beneath a green traffic signal mast holding a "7th Ave N" street sign.
The ladder's green rails match the signal pole's green almost exactly, as if deliberately coordinated.

No fancy sign here. More from my roaming around this morning. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhite #design

B/W photograph of a very simple small commercial building; a painted on sign reads "Bob Davis Auto Repair". There's a slightly souped-up 20 year old compact sedan parked in front, creating a stark composition.

Driving to the beach this morning, still dark, had to wait for TriRail (our commuter rail system) to pass. #nightphotography #streetphotography #design #colorplay #train (Another one shot through my windshield. I really gotta start getting out of my car to avoid shooting though suspect glass.)

Abstract night photograph: a train car's angular orange, yellow, and purple colors glows behind the black-and-white diagonal stripes of a lowered crossing gate, punctuated by two red warning lights and the cool white glow of the wheels below.

. South Florida pedestrian I had to stop my car abruptly because of course he was J-walking. #photography #nature #bird #Limpkin #humor #streetphotography (I shot through my car's front windshield so there's some distortion/refraction.)

Color photograph: A limpkin, a brown wading bird with white speckled feathers and a long downcurved bill, walking across a paved road. Two yellow double lines are visible blurred in the background. Slight distortion from shooting through a car windshield.

Got to the beach way too early this morning, it was still quite dark. So decided to try a long exposure, this one 3 1/2 minutes long, just for fun. #photography #pier #sunrise #ocean #longexposure

Long-exposure color photo of a pier stretching into the ocean at sunrise, under a cloudy pink-and-blue sky. The long exposure smooths the water into a soft, misty surface, contrasting with the pier's sharp lines and weathered pilings.

Trying to get your point across can be a challenge. Having the other side allow you the space and time to make your case is a beautiful thing. #photography #conversation #cooperation #two

Thank you for your feedback, penboy. I briefly considered cropping that way, and didn't. But in retrospect, I think you might be right. 😉
