Wildflowers of Oklahoma

I love wildflowers and I have been searching for information related to the native ones from Oklahoma.

I want to take pictures of them as  portrait and landscape.

Exploring a city...

I love exploring a city on foot, with my camera in hand.  This is Ardmore...A city I moved in June and I started to learn more about its history and interesting past.

With a walking Tour map as a helpful tool, I started the tour in the Central Park where you can find a Pavilion. This pavilion was dedicated in 1987 at Ardmore's Centennial Celebration. Then, you see the downtown Ardmore with all its historical buildings like First Mehodist church, First National bank, Carter County Court House among of them.

Winterland in Ardmore and Davis Surroundings

After the cloudy days and cold winds, I decided to go out and take pictures of the snow storm and ice that hit Oklahoma for three days. Here are some of the images .

City Lake Reflection at Dawn

One of the most beautiful places to wait for the sunrise is City Lake. It is located in the City of Ardmore and it has a peaceful surroundings full of wildlife. I went there this morning and capture the sunrise.

The Magic of Black and White Photography

I have seen many posting in facebook about black and white images lately. So I changed some of my favorite images into black and white and I was very pleased with the result. I love the contrast and highlights on them.

My Favorite Landscapes of 2009

I  moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma in June 2009. Almost immediately I was fascinated with the lakes and landscapes of the area. I spent many mornings waiting for the right light and mood for my images. Moreover, I had the opportunity to go in fall to Arkansas and took some pictures in the Jasper area. Here are some of my favorite images.

Water and Nature

Now that fall is over, I took some macro pictures at Travertine Creek, Sulphur. I used my Nikon D200 and Nikkor 70-300 mm lenses. I tried to use a 100 macro but it is not possible for ripples. All the images are available in http://www.gricelda.imagekind.com/.
