Most of the snow has melted, though I am still waiting for signs of spring’s arrival.

Catching a spectacular sunrise is definitely worth waking up extra early.

Shedding The Winter Blues
With temperatures still in the 30s and 40s, I have not seen any flower bloom in my area.  The only sign of spring is patches of grass turning just ever so slightly green.  So for the Flower Theme of this week’s black & white photo project, I had no choice but to go buy some.  
Typical of me, I shot the flower from the back. I just thought it was more interesting than the front shot.

Across The Bridge
Brooklyn Bridge, New York
Despite bringing my tripod to New York, I left it untouched for the first two days of the trip.  It was a combination of forgetting and reluctance to lug it around, considering all the walking that we would be doing.  Finally, in our third and last day, I made the decision to catch the sunrise by the Brooklyn Bridge.  It of course meant waking up at 5 something in the morning (during vacation), but I knew I would regret it if I didn’t go.
And it certainly did not disappoint.  I was able to take some pretty fascinating photographs.  The fact that it was not crowded also helped me to frame the shots.  The trickiest part though is managing the shakes and vibrations on the bridge.
This is one of the first shots I took.  Many more to come.
