Welcome to my new series, Around the 'Hood!
It's time to travel my neighborhood and share what I see with you, the loyal reader and voyeur! I know you like to look at stuff, especially when it offers some insight into the world of a fellow internet user, so this is the perfect series to quench your thirst for exploration and photography!
I'll try to let the photos do as much of the "talking" as possible because I know that we're all pressed for that valuable thing called time. So here we go...the inaugural post for Around the 'Hood.
Enjoy!
These beauties can be found almost right outside the door. When in bloom, it's a great way to start off an evening walk.
This is some crappy crab grass. That's what we used to call it in a different part of the country and we would pull it from the lawn. But 'round these parts, it's just called "grass" and everyone seems to love it.
It's not soft on your toes.
An unripe pine cone. Someone left it in a parking lot. I don't think a tree will grow there.
The barking photography trend continues!
Dangling moss.
All the little critters come out to see me. It is my 'hood, after all.
Same flowers, different color, different tree. I think they should both grow together on the same tree. Segregation is so last century.
It's a faucet of some sort. I tried to get some crypto tokens out of it, but I failed.
Maybe I needed to open this valve first?
I don't know what these are. Probably weeds.
This little lady in red was having a good time! She didn't dance with me, even though there was nobody there. Just her and me.
Rocks! They're breathtaking!
I started tracking something. It looked like it might be big.
Then I lost it. It almost looked as though they were trying to not be discovered. It's all a little too neat, if you ask me. Looked cool though, so here it is.
The moon peeked out, as it was getting late.
Then I started seeing some signs that it may be time to end my adventure.
A guy with a camera creeping around in the dark? Yeah...that was me. I didn't want the neighbors watching me, so I packed it up and went home.
I hope you liked the little journey through my neighborhood. We'll have to do it again soon!

If you look really closely, you can see STEEM shooting up towards the glowing ball in that moon photo.

lydon and two others caught your humour, but I see it as satire, a deliberate poking fun at photo essays and travelogues by seeing the grandiose (?) in pine cones, ants and weeds. And for a grand finale, the five man electrical band ...signs, signs, everywhere a sign. Uh, You're not one of those long hair freaky people are you?

I shave my own head. So, no. I don't shave it bald though. I use a 1-guard on it with my clippers.
I don't mean for this to be satire...but if that works, I'll go with it! There may be some people out there who might take their blogging a little more seriously. I just like to have fun with it, otherwise I'd probably stop doing this altogether.

they were majestic, the shot of the flowers and inspirational words about segregation were nothing short of genius....... I could feel my Chakras align while staring at the moon picture and visualizing a huge space shuttle of steem aiming directly at it

The moss and crab grass reminds me of FL, but I may be biased too.
A crypto faucet, Lowes would make a killing on those, haha.

It's just a standard zoom. Canon 24-105mm. Hooked up to my 6D, so that helps.

I wish I could get pics like that! I had a buddy show up at my apt in Boston with a U-Haul full of Dangling Moss (air plants he called it) wanting to store it at my place. I asked what he planned to do: "Sell it," he told me. He probably still has it!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yeah. "Air plants" are a big thing around here. It's mostly just moss and other weeds. You can't even give that stuff away...unless a tourist comes rolling through. Then you make the big bucks!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Most of what he had was Spanish Moss from GA. It doesn't grow in Boston so he thought he could sell it. No takers!

My guess is that you are in Florida and that the grass is St. Augustine Grass and not crab grass. Those weedy spiky things after the of the valve looks like sedge - a prolific weed around my garden!! Thanks for the tour. I enjoyed it!

I'm going to stick with crab grass. If it's not soft on your feet, it's garbage!
Sedge...that sounds accurate. Thanks for the weed lesson!

Ah yes we all have to post a tree bark or two lol! I have one that actually looks a little naughty. Its totally natural and untouched, but I don't know what to do with it lol. To post or not to post, that is the question lol.
Yeah anyone with a camera is suspicious. A few weeks back I pulled off the road and was bent down taking a pic of wheat in the field. I got blowed at by a lady going by...I think she thought I was peeing lol.

Very nice pictures, ats-david... What camera did you use ?
Today, I take more pictures and videos and panoramas with my iPhone than I ever did with my Olympus OM-2. Since I always carry it around with me, and I hardly ever carried my Olympus OM-2 with me, I have more opportunities to take photos.
Ahh! The "Old Days"... I actually had a Beseler 23-C (I think it was) amplifier and a whole well equipped dark room. Who needs a darkroom today?

I use a Canon 6D. This series was unedited jpeg photos.
I have an entire collection of photos on here from my iPhone 6 that I used for "photo blogs" since last fall. It takes great photos. I just switched to the 6D in June for a lot of my posts. I took a few trips and wanted to get some good ones for print, so I figured I'd get a full-frame and see what happened. I think it's working out well so far.

iPhone 6 vs. Canon 6 D is that you probably are close to your iphone 6 all day long. But you are not so close most of the day to your Canon 6D . You carry your iPhone the whole day. And if it rains, or it pours, and you have a fairly decent camera with you. It can do things that I never could have done with the Olympus OM-2.
Good luck with your camera. Take good pictures.
