I love perennials for their persistence and their return. The sign of things to come. But I also love annual flowers because they are this instant burst of light and color and beauty. Many of our perennials take a season or seasons to grow and then flower. But As soon as the local plant nurseries open for the season we can go buy some fully bloomed and beautiful flowers. And we love… Read More

I loved the early spring season in NY. We live up on a hill which is surprisingly enough to lower the temperature by a few degrees on a regular basis. So spring take a little longer to arrive at our house. And plants need to be a little hardier up here. This year despite having a few unseasonably warm days where it was near 80 degrees it has been mostly an early… Read More

There are 3 key variables to think about in photography. ISO which controls how sensitive you film/camera is to light. Shutter speed, which controls how long light is let into the camera. Aperture or F stop. This controls how much light is allowed in through your lens. If you notice anything about these 3 variables it is that they are all related to how light interacts with your camera. Each of these… Read More

I love to get out in nature. Hiking or running. Often with a camera. One thing I always enjoy is noticing what flowers are in bloom during different times of the year. Wildflowers are one of my favorite types of plants because they live in harmony with the environment. They seem to spend most of their time seemingly dormant or underground. They are often just a patch of green mixed in amongst… Read More

Especially since I have really gotten to enjoy planting them and growing them right at home. I really enjoy perennial flowers. Flowers that regrow and flower year after year. Observing how different flowers return and grow at different times of year. Their genetic makeup and the environment working together to shape how… Read More

I love spring. It is a time of growth and renewal. It feels like anything is possible. And it is the beginning of the opportunities to start photographing flowers again. I never thought I would enjoy photographing flowers so much but it is something I have really grown to love. I look forward to it every year.

I always try to keep my annuals alive as long as possible. When the weather gets cold enough that it starts to frost sometimes over night I move the annuals around. I move all my annual flowers out to our front porch where they will be under a roof so should not get frosted.

We had planned on going to an arts festival today, but the forecast was for rain all day long. So, we decided to stay home and relax instead. The decision to stay home ended up allowing me to create my own unique collection of art. I went outside to photogrpah our flowers that we have planted and it started to rain. It rained for a good long time, but it stopped well… Read More

We as people often have many things we want to do or accomplish in our lives. And just as often we have many things we simply never get around to doing. There are an infinite number of reasons and excuses why we may not get something done that we have always wanted to do. Often the most obvious reason we don’t get something done is that we haven’t prioritized it. As a… Read More
