Rolling past our capitol When shooting out a bus window it is not easy getting the best angle on a subject. My solution is to just keep shooting, one of the photos is bound to be acceptable. Georgia State Capitol Unfortunately there isn’t really a good one, all are plagued by reflections and the views…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240722

Passages and Pathways
The Cosmic Photo Challenge often has intriguing themes, but Mondays are often too busy for me to participate. It’s Tuesday now and my OneDrive showed me an old memory that fits the topic. So I decided to take a quick look and see what else I already posted and what might be fun to show.…… Continue reading Passages and Pathways
Monday Window – 02
Car windows and more We continue our bus trip this week, rolling through Atlanta. One nice thing about photographing out bus windows, you don’t need to worry about traffic. Photos taking while crossing through intersections are fun. You see traffic, but also much more. Here we see buildings – and their windows. This is after…… Continue reading Monday Window – 02

Cafe Ludwig will be my site for windows posts in the future. Photography through bus windows…… Continue reading Monday Window – 01
A funny thing happened …
… actually, a series of funny things … A couple of days ago I did as I often do. I stepped back from my hardships and tried to forget the problems by doing a bit of art. What I came up with was this kaleidoodle; I posted it on the Silver Canvas site. https://silvercanvas.ludwig.gallery/2024/07/kaleidoodle The…… Continue reading A funny thing happened …
Rear View
Did you know that hawks can turn their heads almost 180 degrees? Here our hawk was actually taking a bath in our birdbath. Took plenty of time too. Our other bird friends were raising a ruckus, but the hawk was undisturbed until he saw us watching. That was a pretty dirty look. Guess it was…… Continue reading Rear View

Our Little Peachtree
It is a “volunteer” in our back yard. Each spring it lights up with beautiful blossoms. A photo from back in 2016 became the logo of the Peach Blossom Artists group. Like the blossoms, the group lit up with creative activity. Like the blossoms on our little tree, the group faded after a while. After…… Continue reading Our Little Peachtree

Looking Through
The Cosmic Photo Challenge “Looking Through” reminded me of a photo I took of a pedestrian tunnel. I figured that would fit the topic just fine. I used the text search “tunnel” – that photo didn’t come up, but there was a fine collection that did. Images I had taken some eight years ago and…… Continue reading Looking Through

First Daffodil
A sign of spring at last! Our daffodils are late this season. It took this blossom a whole day to open and it is not yet quite there. And then the rain came to dampen the spirit. At least with the raindrops on the blossom these photos fit the Cosmic Photo Prompt of “water, water,…… Continue reading First Daffodil
