It was pretty cloudy the day I took these pictures, so the lighting wasn't very good. Decided to switch to black and white while I was edited these and it made the photos pop a bit more.

I went to the Krohn Conservatory for the first time in a while. Every December, they set up model trains and buildings for the holidays. Happy Friday!

When I visited Bar Harbor last year, I snapped a few photos of this sunset on John Ells Pier. The one on the left was taken in Landscape mode, and the other in Sunset mode. I love them both, but do you guys have a preference?

(3/3) A few flailing of the arms later, I shooed it out the window, but I was not entirely satisfied. When I inevitably return to that infested park, I shall find it, and I shall squish it.

(2/3) Apparently, one determined little shit thought that 18 wasnโ€™t enough, and slipped into my car before I closed the door and tried to bite me. Naturally, I wanted revenge. I went to swat at it like I would to an elderly person who keeps saying โ€œnobody wants to work anymore,โ€ but I missed.

Iโ€™ve been exploring new parks around the Dayton area this summer, and found one called The Narrows Reserve nestled between Beavercreek and Xenia along the Little Miami River. If you exclude the 18 mosquito bites I got, it was a pretty nice hike (1/3). #photography #hiking #naturephotography
