Roadside Tulips
My first photo with a cell phone
D&R Canal Park, Kingston

These flowers now grow at the base of the Railroad Crossing sign. The road behind is where Washington marched his troops after the Battle of Princeton. I was there, Wednesday afternoon, and just couldn't resist this colorful scene. The only thing I have done with the image is to resize and remove some saturation. No cropping, no sharpening, no brightness or contrast changes.

This is the product of an LG enV mobile phone that has a number of awesome features, including a 2-megapixel camera. I suspect we will be seeing many more impromptu images from this device in days to come.

The canal had another flood, recently, and this was my first opportunity to return. For those following the flow around the mill dam, it has gotten much worse, and the "bowed tree" is no longer a suitable subject. A rainy winter has left its mark.

The new phone is part of my project with Twitter, and I am still wondering whether a new kind of photoblog might be created around text messaging instead of the usual submitted comments. That will continue as my spring and summer curiosity.

I also came home with a few other pictures in my Casio EX-Z50, and it feels good to be back on schedule with my posts.
