Bradley http://www.commcognition.com/blog/?p=1769 day132My photography is not at its best while holding a plastic tub upside down over my head while trying to keep my camera dry.

But it was an impressive, expansive rainbow nonetheless.

Bradley http://www.commcognition.com/blog/?p=1446 day045This blowing white plastic Wal-Mart sack caught my eye across campus.

When I spotted it, it was several feet off of the ground. By the time I got there, it was just blowing in a circle on the ground.

Still, worthy of photography, because these sacks are an omnipresent scene in windy Lubbock

Bradley http://www.commcognition.com/blog/?p=1379 day027Whenever I’m stuck shooting with my phone, I’m not usually happy with the aesthetics, and today is no different.

However, in trying to shoot the many frozen stalactites that surround my house, I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the dual layers of icicles and the flocks of geese passing overhead. Thus, this was the best that I could do.

Especially cool were the icicles on the west side of my house, clearly blown by the wind.
