Fun Friday: Playing in the Snow

By James Braswell | Published November 9, 2018

Today’s post comes from Mother Nature. Receiving our first snowfall of 2018 yesterday and overnight, I got up this morning and launched my drone for some aerial photography over my rural Missouri home. Hope you’re enjoying this beautiful snow, too! In this next image, you can’t see my home but it’s behind the large clump […]

Little Pink Bells

By James Braswell | Published March 20, 2017

From a little over a week ago, after we had a snowfall, I found these cute little pink, bell-shaped flowers in one of our wildflower gardens. They resemble the blue harebell wildflowers a lot, but I’m pretty sure these are not wildflowers. My wife planted a lot of non-natives in the area, mostly iris and […]

More Signs of Spring

By James Braswell | Published March 17, 2017

After the recent snowfall, I also found some early, woodland wildflowers growing around my rural property. The Virginia Bluebells had some small buds, still being covered by the leaves, trying to poke out: I then set up my camera on a tripod to capture some images for Focus-stacking: This focus-stacked image was made by capturing […]

Almost Spring

By James Braswell | Published March 15, 2017

… but not quite! A look at the calendar says that spring is only 5 days away. But yesterday’s snow puts that into question! After a morning of snow, I hiked around my rural Missouri land to see what photo opportunities existed. The snowfall was quite “trivial”, but with temperatures below freezing, it sure wasn’t […]

Golden White

By James Braswell | Published February 21, 2015

These American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) images were captured immediately after a brief snowfall, a few mornings ago in rural Cass County, Missouri, near my home: Goldfinches are very common in my area. During the cold, winter months, I have often counted 30+ of these beauties on my front porch, feeding from our bird feeders. Photographic […]

A New Day

By James Braswell | Published February 18, 2015

First, I’d like to thank all my friends for the warm wishes, thoughts and prayers for me and my family as we celebrate my dad’s life, following his death last Thursday. Services were concluded Tuesday afternoon, capped with a full, military color guard at the gravesite. Dad was always so proud of his military training […]
