Around the Hood with ATS-David
Welcome to my new series, Around the 'Hood!
It's time to travel my neighborhood and share what I see with you, the loyal reader and voyeur! I know you like to look at stuff, especially when it offers some insight into the world of a fellow internet user, so this is the perfect series to quench your thirst for exploration and photography!
I'll try to let the photos do as much of the "talking" as possible because I know that we're all pressed for that valuable thing called time. So here we go...the inaugural post for Around the 'Hood.
Enjoy!
These beauties can be found almost right outside the door. When in bloom, it's a great way to start off an evening walk.
This is some crappy crab grass. That's what we used to call it in a different part of the country and we would pull it from the lawn. But 'round these parts, it's just called "grass" and everyone seems to love it.
It's not soft on your toes.
An unripe pine cone. Someone left it in a parking lot. I don't think a tree will grow there.
The barking photography trend continues!
Dangling moss.
All the little critters come out to see me. It is my 'hood, after all.
Same flowers, different color, different tree. I think they should both grow together on the same tree. Segregation is so last century.
It's a faucet of some sort. I tried to get some crypto tokens out of it, but I failed.
Maybe I needed to open this valve first?
I don't know what these are. Probably weeds.
This little lady in red was having a good time! She didn't dance with me, even though there was nobody there. Just her and me.
Rocks! They're breathtaking!
I started tracking something. It looked like it might be big.
Then I lost it. It almost looked as though they were trying to not be discovered. It's all a little too neat, if you ask me. Looked cool though, so here it is.
The moon peeked out, as it was getting late.
Then I started seeing some signs that it may be time to end my adventure.
A guy with a camera creeping around in the dark? Yeah...that was me. I didn't want the neighbors watching me, so I packed it up and went home.
I hope you liked the little journey through my neighborhood. We'll have to do it again soon!

Favorite shots are the sand and the moon..steemit it to the moon! Thanks for sharing.
If you look really closely, you can see STEEM shooting up towards the glowing ball in that moon photo.
I was secretly hoping for some thugs on the front porch, some pictures of the liquor store, and people walking pit bulls with gold collars...I guess this will have to do.🐐💨
That's a 'hood a few communities away. Maybe I'll take a stroll through there in a future post.
Better not take the good camera on that adventure 😉
For the record I was born in the hood👊🏼👀 Thanks for the reply
Wherever I go, a pistol or two always goes with me. I'll be OK.
Sometimes we need a little adventure anyway. Whatever it takes to get the good shots!
love the adventure, the art, the close up photography of bugs on leaves....don't get me started on the majesty of those rocks and the pine cone, just wow!
NICE!
Not as cool as those double "slayer blades" but NICE
That is great fun. I love adventures. Have a great day!
lydon and two others caught your humour, but I see it as satire, a deliberate poking fun at photo essays and travelogues by seeing the grandiose (?) in pine cones, ants and weeds. And for a grand finale, the five man electrical band ...signs, signs, everywhere a sign. Uh, You're not one of those long hair freaky people are you?
I shave my own head. So, no. I don't shave it bald though. I use a 1-guard on it with my clippers.
I don't mean for this to be satire...but if that works, I'll go with it! There may be some people out there who might take their blogging a little more seriously. I just like to have fun with it, otherwise I'd probably stop doing this altogether.
ha ha, good to hear you're not long-haired in music or blogging. BTW, some of those close-up shots were really good :)
they were majestic, the shot of the flowers and inspirational words about segregation were nothing short of genius....... I could feel my Chakras align while staring at the moon picture and visualizing a huge space shuttle of steem aiming directly at it
Tree bark is my favourite. I love the textures in it.
That's the newest photography trend! (Well...not yet. But it will be! I'll make it happen!)
The moss and crab grass reminds me of FL, but I may be biased too.
A crypto faucet, Lowes would make a killing on those, haha.
Your humorous commentary is just as enjoyable as the photography.
NO, STOP! the photos have great colours, what lens is that?
It's just a standard zoom. Canon 24-105mm. Hooked up to my 6D, so that helps.
mmm 24-105mm sexy universal lens
Good job :)
Looking good
Fresh man, around the good is best photo sessions ever. I have many photo series of my town spots.
Cool description to the photos! It was interesting! Many thanks dear @ats-david for your work!
I wish I could get pics like that! I had a buddy show up at my apt in Boston with a U-Haul full of Dangling Moss (air plants he called it) wanting to store it at my place. I asked what he planned to do: "Sell it," he told me. He probably still has it!
Yeah. "Air plants" are a big thing around here. It's mostly just moss and other weeds. You can't even give that stuff away...unless a tourist comes rolling through. Then you make the big bucks!
Most of what he had was Spanish Moss from GA. It doesn't grow in Boston so he thought he could sell it. No takers!
