White Rose

More going back through the photographic archives!

This morning I came across some images from 4/2011 when I was using a friend’s Nikon D70. I think this may be a Pope John Paul II white rose in my front garden. I took a number of images with an exposure long enough to let me blur the image, but short enough not to make a mess. There are about 10 that I did, some which are rather nice, I think. I like this one because of its softness, but also as I was looking at them, I was also thinking they could make for some rather interesting paintings.

The Lily

I was wandering through archived photos that I took years ago when a friend loaned me his old digital camera for over a year. Sometimes I think what I have done in the past is better than the present – or is it old age nostalgia?

Restless

After weeks of gloom and rain, frost and ice, this California girl is welcoming with open arms a day of warmth and sunshine. I admit it – we are spoiled here – and I have totally been enjoying actually having weather, but when the flowers begin to bloom, trees bud, and the sun comes out – well, how can one not get spring fever? I’d been wandering around the house, fidgeting, until I finally decided to go outside to see what is coming up in the neighborhood. We have some bland gardens here, and some that are filled with wild and strange plants, as well as some which are just a pleasure to look at because of the variety of foliage, flowers, and trees. My walk was quite satisfying! Below are just some of the things I saw.
