Spring in our garden

on By

As is my custom, I've put together a gallery of photographs from this past spring, all taken in our garden at home. They'll take you from the first snowdrops and late frosts of spring to the roses, foxgloves and ferns of early summer. Our garden is a source of joy and relaxation for us and [...]

The Virginia garden

on By

Some years ago we were at a party given by friends of ours. They lived in a quiet neighborhood in McLean, Virginia. Since it was a garden party, I thought it only right that I take photos of the garden. Here they are. I still remember their hibiscus blossoms vividly and I think you will [...]

Apricot blossoms

on By

The apricot trees have been in bloom since last week. They're still growing and this year, we've had more flowers than ever. We've also had a few nights when the temperatures dipped below zero, so you'll see that some of the petals have been bitten by the cold and have turned a beige color around [...]

The air had been freshened up and any breeze flowing through the garden made you shudder, now that the air and the earth had cooled off. [...]

On the evening of the summer solstice

on By

It was the summer solstice a couple of days ago. On that longest day of the year, I thought it might be interesting to take photographs in our garden, just as the day drew to a close. I was especially interested in capturing the evening primroses, because we have so many of them this year, [...]

Late spring in our garden

on By

Summer doesn't officially start until the solstice on June 21, so even though it feels very much like summer outside, we can still call it spring. Here is a gallery of photographs taken recently in our garden (on the 9th) with my PEN E-P2 and the 12-50mm lens, which does double duty as a macro [...]
