Link to FLICKR

I see I haven't posted in this blog so far this year.  I have instead been using FLICKR to post recent pictures of Key West and some old favorites of mine.  I will get back to this blog... but please check out my new Flickr page on the link below....

Thank you!

p.s. I can't post without throwing in some photos from this year.  Here are a couple of shots from a spring trip to the Pocono mountains.  I hope you like them.

Longwood Gardens

We finally got the chance for a holiday visit to Longwood Gardens near Kennett Square in southeastern Pennsylvania.  The holiday light show and decorations attract visitors from around the world each year. 

From their website...
"Longwood Gardens is the living legacy of Pierre S. du Pont, inspiring people through excellence in garden design, horticulture, education, and the arts."

You can learn more here:

Needless to say, there are endless opportunities to photograph the landscape, flowers and plants, lights and decorations.  I had a chance to experiment with my new camera ( a nikon d7200) and test my low light skills.  All of the pictures are hand held, so they are not as sharp as they could have been had I dragged along the tripod.  Still, it was a great night out with my wife and cousins, and, I managed to get a couple of good shots to share with you!

I hope you like them...  

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to all in 2017

Experiments

We had some beautiful late summer / early fall sunrises and evenings on the beach this year.  Instead of posting cliché sunrise / sunset pictures, I thought I would put up some different treatments of them I've been experimenting with...   those and a couple of star shots over the beach from my flirtations with night sky photography.  I'm still learning, but I thought these were kind of cool-- I hope you do too.

Late Fall Color

I found some interesting colors and textures on a recent late fall walk through the park.  It gave me an excuse to take some photos and write a long overdue post. Soon, I'm afraid, things will be cold and gray...

 

 Interesting treatment I think..

I notice that this is just my third post of the year... I've got plenty of material, time to up my blogging game!

Around the Garden this Morning

Heavy rains overnight left the yard pretty saturated.  Not especially unique, but here are some isolated flower head shots.  Finally getting lots of color in the garden!
