More Small Spring Colors
So many beautiful spring flowers in our yard! Elizabeth is a wonderful gardener and nurturer of beauty! Previously I posted some images of flowers from our yard. Here are a few more. Above are the tiny blossoms of a Jacob’s ladder — so named because of the ladder-like pattern of its leaves, which you don’t […]
Small Spring Colors
Seeing flowers in our yard in the spring is wonderful treat! Most don’t last long, which motivates me to enjoy — and photograph! — their ephemeral beauty. Above are wild geraniums. Below is a may apple blossom. And these tiny flowers are spring beauties (with blossoms only about 1/2 inch across) and mazus — with […]
Iris, and Stem
Irises are my favorite flowers! And I think this is my favorite iris. It’s in our font yard, right next to the front walkway. It blooms every year in mid-May, and for me it’s big May treat! I photographed it in 2009, here, which shows off its gentle white color and delicate yellows. It is […]
Lichen on Rocks
Here’s another image from Garrapata State Park, California, which I’m particularly pleased with. While exploring the park, I spotted these lichen-covered rocks, and was sure right away that I’d find some sort of composition to work with. And indeed I did! My sense is that the image is a bit “different,” which is something I […]
Spring Green

I was, however, particularly pleased to see this single wild geranium blossom amidst a “field” of spring greens. And I was even […]
Azalea in the Sun
We have some beautiful azaleas in our yard; taking some photos of their vibrant colors is springtime treat! The blossoms on this particular azalea are on the small side. Not quite as showy as some, but wow, do I love their pink color. This particular image has just a hint of blue sky behind the […]
Iris
More processing of older images into black & white with my new(ish) software, Nik’s Silver Efex Pro 2. This image is of an iris in our yard, from 2009. Irises are my favorite flower — perhaps because they were my grandfather’s favorite as well, and with my fond memories of his beloved garden. But also […]
First post
My new photography website is up and running! Yay! It features galleries of some of my recent photos. With more photos to come. For my first post, rather than focusing on my most recent images, I thought I’d step back in time and show one of my early digital SLR photos, from the spring of 2006. […]
