Out for a Walk

I enjoy walking through the local botanical garden. I decided to head out the other day as it has been awhile, and with the coming of spring, new growth and leaf buds await to be seen. Additionally, the annual – or ongoing? – garden clean up appears to be over, so little things normally hidden are beginning to emerge. All the photos below may be seen on Flickr – just click on one and it will take you there where you can also see other photos I have done over the years.

Green Thingies

“Green Thingies” – pretty cheerful and abstract and strange. Succulent? I don’t recall.

Boogie Woogie

“Boogie Woogie” – called thus because they just looked like they were dancing! I used AI in PS to get rid of some unsightly signs in the distance that were a bit distracting.

Remember the Fallen

“Remember the Fallen” – fallen leaves, fallen soldiers, fallen countries, fallen women, fallen in Fall, even though it is close to Spring!

Do Not Climb

“Do Not Climb” – or shinny or otherwise skedaddle around this tree! There are two in the botanical garden and I can never remember what species they belong to, but think they are fascinating.

I used a macro 50mm lens, which I find to be one of the most diverse lenses to use – close up and personal, to clarity as needed.

Memories of Spring

Memories of Spring

Sometimes we ignore one hobby for another. Photography is one of those. My focus of late is on other adventures, but looking through old photos – digital or analog – is something always worthwhile. All looks different from the distance of time. Here, some daffodils taken last spring with my Nikon Z6ii and 50mm lens, and modified to match this morning’s mood, which is rather grey and gloomy and monochrome with a bit of color.

Last Summer’s Flower

Last Summer's Flower

Things have been scattered here – but looking through old photos is always fun. This is a picture I took on a hike with a friend last August – a wild morning glory alongside a local creek. This year the wildflowers are even more amazing than last year’s because of all the rain. I hope to see more!
