I had a great time this afternoon taking a few group photos for a fantastic local softball team, the Big Bend Lightning! I’m looking forward to taking more local team photos soon!

Night Drive
I felt antsy earlier tonight so I grabbed the camera and drove around for a few minutes. More Tallahassee at night.
Camera Roll: Gadsden and Leon
Captures from a too-warm winter afternoon and evening drive around the Big Bend.
Vigilance
Spotted on the drive home.
As Jay Maisel writes in Light, Gesture, and Color: “Carry the damn camera.”
Camera Roll: Lake Talquin Hydroelectric Dam and a Friend at Work
Started off the day with a work visit to the C.H. Corn Hydroelectric Station in western Leon County. This dam is the source of Lake Talquin. An enormous volume of water was passing through the dam as a result of the heavy rainfall lately.

Later in the afternoon I had a visit from a friend in the tree outside of my window at the office.
Camera Roll: Moultrie, Etc.
Today we walked around Moultrie, Georgia, which was depressingly empty and clearly going through some bad times. It was Sunday, of course, so the downtown area was mostly shut down, but there were a lot of abandoned buildings and nobody walking around. Moultrie is a beautiful town, though, and I hope it finds a way through the ravages of the post-retail 21st neoliberal apocalypse we’re all living through.
The pizzeria is not in Moultrie. The pizzeria is a great joint right down the street from my house called Milano. You should check it out.
Anyway, here are the photos from today’s wandering.
Camera Roll: Tallahassee Backyard
Had a few minutes here and there today to snap some shots around home and around town. The rain moving in as the week draws to a close will drive me indoors to the easel and paintbrushes, even though I’ve already ruined one canvas this week. Making mistakes is just as important as succeeding.
Camera Roll: Lake Talquin, Quincy, Tallahassee
Today’s perambulations took me from the shores of Lake Talquin, where the wind bringing in the next layer of December cloud cover whipped the water to a hard chop–which is the only way I’ve ever seen Lake Talquin, to be honest–to the crisp winter understory of the Lake Talquin State Forest, where the pines are awaiting the distant spring in silent resignation. State Road 267 then carried me north to Quincy, where the clouds ruined my original plan (I’ll be back another day) but cleared enough for me to grab a few shots of a beautifully-restored Gulf Station on the Old Spanish Trail, US 90. A couple shots in Tallahassee caught my eye in the late afternoon and evening.

Here’s another shot from a few weeks ago that never made it here. Dusk settling over Okeeheepkee Prairie Park in Tallahassee, Florida.
