Photo of the Week – February 22, 2019

Posted on by

Earlier this week, instead of writing a pithy blog post (obviously), I made a couple short trips outside with my camera. The sun defied the forecast and provided some nice light and I decided I’d better take advantage of that. These are the kinds of decisions I have to wrestle with on a day to day basis. Do I write a blog post? Enter data? Or go wander around a prairie in the snow? It really is a tough job.

Anyway, here are some photos from the week.

  2. My favorites are the Heath Aster photos and I do like the Maximilian Sunflower highlighted by the circle of snow! It’s important to see the beauty in all things as sometimes it’s all we have.
