I promised I'd put together a gallery of photos taken in our garden last summer (that'd be the summer of 2018 for those of you who'll be reading this in future years), and here it is. Get ready to see 347 photos of summertime, taken between June and August of last year. Grab a cup … Continue reading Summer in our garden
Spring has arrived and that means it's time for my annual gallery of photographs from our garden. This is the sixth edition mind you, so it has become somewhat of a tradition for me. I hope you have a cup of tea or coffee ready -- if you don't, go get one -- because there … Continue reading Springtime in our garden
I was going through old(er) photos of mine taken in 2009, and I put together a lovely collection of summertime photos from our garden (even if I do say so myself). Look, I know it's not summer now. It's winter (sort of). Each season has its purpose and is beautiful in its own way. Should … Continue reading Summertime in our garden
It's been snowing today. I woke up to little snowflakes dancing in a light wind in our courtyard. It's been like that all day. Every time I looked out the window, it put a smile on my face. There's something so beautiful about a February snowfall. It's one of winter's last few efforts before it … Continue reading A February snowfall
Here are photos taken earlier today in our garden, after some heavy frost set in during the night. As much as I love fresh, white snow, especially during Christmas time, gorgeous frost like this is pretty nice, too.
I took these photos a few weeks ago in our garden and didn't get a chance to post them until now. The sour cherry trees were full of flowers, the lilac trees were sprouting leaves, the ladybugs had started to come out, the dandelions were in bloom (I love dandelions), the strawberries and tulips were … Continue reading More photos of spring blossoms
It was touch and go for a while this year, wasn't it? We weren't sure when Old Man Winter would go and Spring would finally be here to stay. I think we're pretty safe now that the first blossoms are starting to come in. Our apricot tree is in full bloom. The sweet cherry tree … Continue reading Spring is here!
Here are selected photos from the 2008 Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. They're taken at various points around the Basin, which is where you'll find the greatest number of cherry trees and conversely, the greatest concentration of people. The crowds were out in numbers that year! Be sure to go through all the photos … Continue reading DC Cherry Blossoms in 2008
I took these photos about 5½ years ago on a walk at the Audubon Naturalist Society in Chevy Chase, MD. They have such lovely fall foliage in their forest. As I edited the photos for the website, it brought back some fond memories of some of my first years together with my lovely wife. This … Continue reading A walk in the forest
One thing about winters is they don't like to leave. Just when you think they're packing to go back north, they settle back down for at least a few more days. And they're not shy about it, either. They'll let loose and bring on a bonafide winter storm. This particular one happened just about six … Continue reading A late winter snowstorm
