Via: a-macarthur • Photography & Art • 11 Comments • 9 years ago

But they seem to know where they're safe, welcome, and, can get something to eat. Not a bad deal when all it "costs" them is to allow a photo op. Don't just do something stand there!...

Via: a-macarthur • Photography & Art • 15 Comments • 9 years ago

There's a load of snow in Philly today, a perfect "excuse/reason" to stay around the house, photograph the birds around my feeders, and do a good number of new restorations. And shovel out during...

This Morning in My Back Yard

Taken with my iPhone. Wish my friends had been here; the coffee and bagels are my treat -- God/Nature/The Cosmos provided the scenery.

A Compelling Image that Evokes Emotion and Wonder about People Long Gone

Via: a-macarthur • Photography & Art • 18 Comments • 9 years ago

I recently restored this image; I find it sad and tragic. It makes me want to know the names and faces and stories behind the sign and events that led to it. The sign is crudely made and that, in...

Spring with Some Assistance from the Autumn Just Passed

Via: a-macarthur • Photography & Art • 5 Comments • 9 years ago
