Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos

: Name: Lloyd

My home is in Chamberlains, CBS, Newfoundland: a place close enough to sea so that I can go there to watch the glorious sunsets over the bay, and the other infinite variety of sights and sounds that are forever changing, yet forever the same. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't get around much any more, but I've had many wonderful hours of enjoyment with my Yasihca 44 TLR and trusty old OM-2. I've always enjoyed photographing wild flowers, particularly the smaller ones, many of which , albeit mostly overlooked and dismissed as weeds, are exquisitely beautiful. Digital photography, complete with all the magic of its own portable darkroom, has brought a new dimension to the hobby. My OM-2 is retired now, but it is such a beautiful instrument, such a joy to hold and behold, that I don't think I will ever want to part with it. My digital, used mostly, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Its 35-420 mm Leica zoom lens can really reach out for those hard to reach shots. My photographs are strictly amateurish, but hopefully some have succeeded in capturing something of the moment that inspired them.

LADIES' SMOCK, a.k.a. CUCKOO FLOWER.

Found these growing in a roadside ditch. They like to grow near the water's edge.

MOSSY STONES.

BIRCH BUDS COMING INTO LEAF.

We see them, collectively, in their countless millions, but each one is a little miracle in its own right.

ONE MORE FOR GOOD MEASURE.

IF I WERE TO LEAVE, THIS IS A SOUND I WOULD MISS THE MOST.

As a boy, I grew up listening to it not more than 200 ft. from my bedroom window.

A young nephew (also a shutter-bug) who took me out exploring yesterday. Here is the link to his blog: http://www.atlanticshore.blogspot.com/

A SCRUFFY FIRST APPEARANCE.

First to appear in my immediate surroundings. Soon the fields will be golden. For some, a curse , but for others the assurance that summer has once again returned.
