Around Winter Haven

Here's a collection of pictures one might see on any given day in the downtown area of Winter Haven.

Queen of the Dragonflies

Against the Wall

'Three'

'Snail'

When the World Comes to an End II

'Blue Sky'

Years ago there was a building here but it burned to the ground and the city has not really done anything with the lot. 

 'Debris Garden'

 'Rubble'

 'Bricks, Pipe, Vines'

 'Weeds'

 'Water Source'

 'White Pipes and Green Vines'

'The Asphalt Pipe'

I know want to go back and find a unifying style for these pictures to tie them all together and make the series more cohesive. 

When the World Comes to an End

First in a body of work. I'm trying to decide if I want to process all the photos in the same way with the same settings and ragged edges. I'm leaning towards that decision but not sure.

In Need of a Lens

I'm hoping to get the AF-S Nikkor 35mm f1/8G lens. Pretty affordable at around $200.

All That Hard Work and Studying Has Paid Off

This is Mister Santiago de la Montoya. My boyfriend and I have had this cat since he was very very young and very very sick. Although you wouldn't be able to tell that at one time this feisty little trouble maker was near Death's Door.
