Waiting for the snow to melt, I pulled this shot from last Fall in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, taken on the Towpath Trail. #CVNP #photography #landscape #Ohio #Pentax645Z 120mm f16, 1.3s
So the starlings must have heard the weather forecast and are now raiding all of the bird feeders that my wife filled yesterday. I KNOW she will not be going out to refill them this weekend, as she does not like to be outside when it is below zero. I may or may not be willing to do it myself. #birds

Slow work day today, so here is one of the shots from my frozen park walk last weekend. Sony A7CII, Sigma 24-70 2.8 @70mm, ISO 100 f8 @1/100s. Again, not breathtaking, but interesting, and I think that this lens performs quite well. #photography #landscape

While my hikes today did not yield any great photos, I did manage to capture a shot of this beaver's handiwork, which I thought was pretty cool. #photography #beaver #chompchomp

I did a few hours of hiking in the snow at a couple of local parks for my first field trip with the #Sony A7C II, but the lighting was blah, the sky was solid gray, and I could not come up with any great shots. This one was OK. #Sigma 24-70 2.8 @ 70mm, f10, 1/40, ISO100 #photography #landscape

I was hoping for a nice sunset, but alas, all that I got was greyness. This is today's subdued holiday sunset in #Cleveland #Photography

First photo taken with my new Sony A7C II + Sigma AF 24-70 f/2.8 Art lens. The speed of focusing and operation of the Sony is amazing to me, likely because all of my other digicams are 8-10 years old. #photography Looking forward to using it in NYC next month. #cats

I'm trying to decide if this is a cool shot, or just a picture of trash. Another one from the Hartville Flea Market. Thoughts? #photography

In October, I again did the somewhat difficult hike to #BlueHen Falls in the #CVNP. I got some nice, but not great images, of which this is one. The quality of images from this 11-year old Pentax 645Z always amazes me. #photography #landscape

Continuing the downloads from the Pentax 645Z, this shot is from Sept., taken of the Chagrin River in the #Cleveland Metroparks South Chagrin Reservation. #landscape #photography Happily, this location is only a 20-minute drive from our house, and then less than a 1/2 hour hike down to the river.

I started downloading this summer's pics from the Pentax 645Z. I enjoy taking pictures, but I hate the computer part of the process (and I'm not very good at it). I am still trying to remember exactly where this shot is from, I know it is in or near the #CVNP. #landscape #photography #pond
