I was on the train, staring out the window watching the world go by. We were going slowly, through residential areas with lots of train crossings of the streets. The yellow building popped up and me…no camera ready. I did have my phone and so shot the yellow house or warehouse or whatever the building […]
Yesterday I jumped on a train (well, not jump) and went to Newport News. I was going to walk around for a few hours while Kirsten finished classes. But then, the classes were cancelled and the weather service put out a severe storm alert. So…not much of a walkabout but when I left the train […]
On my walkabout in the Gardens, I glimpsed a splash of color, looked into a thicket and saw an individual flower seemingly attached to a small tree. The flower was the size of a quarter and probably would not normally have been visible but the weather was bleak, the bushes and trees all around were […]
How extraordinary!!! It looks a bit like a dogwood flower but maybe too pink for that. Who knows……but it’s just lovely and leave it to you to find it!! 🙂
I went out in the rain to take a couple of shots. Actually the weather is very nice compared to normal winters. We’ve got temps in the upper 30s and 40s and just a gentle drizzle. If the temp was low, we’d have lots of snow but it’s not and so we don’t. Did a […]
A Camellia bud about to open! I wish I could grow them here but I don’t have a shady spot & they need one! I HAVE to know what that strange “bat” flower is! That’s the strangest thing I ever saw!!! I feel an online search coming on!! Beautiful pix!!
While I was wandering about downtown, I walked about the grounds of The National Cathedral. I didn’t know that the grounds were closed. Really! I entered a little door labeled “Bishops Garden” and walked about. I left through another door and saw the sign “Closed at Dark.” Oh well. Sorry. The garden took me around […]
Fixing the quake damage? Thank goodness it wasn’t any worse than it was. It’s a beautiful building. Nice shot!
Last night I was downtown and tried to get back in the groove. I think I am gaining some momentum–I made lots of mistakes, rookie mistakes, like forgetting to adjust my settings for the bright background of the memorials. I need more practice…more time with my camera. I know that the next generation just came […]
I LOVE the blur!!! What a unique shot!!! The statues on the left came out…..one gold, one green-ish and the bases are gray & aqua! Love it!!!
