Robin - Old San Jose

This is a photograph I made by standing on a bench by the tennis courts on the Guadalupe River Walk over someone's fence. I happened to get a peek and thought it was worth shooting. Because of the historic nature of the subject matter, I used an old photo filter.

I am a 3rd generation San Josean so I'm always thrilled to find remnants of our agrarian past. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Robin - Margo's Tulip

This is a photograph I made of my little girlfriend Margo's tulip. She chose the color and we bought them at the farmer's market over the weekend. I shot them against the fence on her patio. Happy Valentine's Day Miss Margo!

Budding Reminder~

A new season,  a fresh start ,  and so we begin again...

I have been reluctant with starting, beginning again. And then there they were to remind me, guide me...

Some of us need reminders to stay a-path, and for me mine often come in the form of  Nature....flowers budding growth and the stillness in the air which comes between the  changing of  seasons.

They gently awaken my spirit and remind me it's time.

We have not forgotten...Have you? 

So be it Cherry blossom, Daffodil's  cups of yellow sunshine tea for the soul, Autumn's  Falling leaves, Spectacular mild winter skies or my tiny sweet  friends the

 Forget Me Nots.  

They arrive just in time, somehow knowing, somehow speaking the exact words I need to lighten the load of life.

Just like the truest of  friends they softly, yet so confidentially remind me of who I am, and seem to say you've  gone astray my friend... or are you on your path.

  It's as if they ever so tenderly, yet confidently mutter  words of encouragement under their breath and say, It's time...

And so it is time.

 

Robin - San Juan Bautista

I think every kid in the Santa Clara Valley since man starting walking upright went on a field trip to San Juan Bautista. I would like to say I took this photo when I was 10 and on my class field trip but alas that would be a big fat lie.  ;-)

Robin - Purple and Green

I made this photograph at my cousin's house yesterday. I'm not even sure of what the plant is but I liked the shape so decided to get out my trusty macro and shoot it - Bang! Bang!

This is it straight from the camera. I love the colors just as they are so didn't even change the white balance.
I hope you like it too.

Robin likes BUGS!

It's my birthday and I LOVE my birthday along with bugs. ;-)

Robin - My Grand Girl Mia

The most precious gift is a grandchild. This is Mia. She turned 2 in December just 3 days before her sister and my newest grand girl Vanessa was born. We have so much fun playing together!
