First Flowers
Magnolias are early, tough, and usually face the harshest weather, which is why I like them so much.
Spring In The Backyard
We’ve been waiting a while, so it was worth the couple minutes in the garden. Tulips, Japanese Painted ferns, hostas, and even the dreaded dandelion make appearances.
Sliver of Longwood
From an earlier short trip to Longwood Gardens, I wanted to get there before the water lilies were done for the year.
Irises, 2012
My irises popped up this week, so heading into a very busy few days I stopped to shoot the flowers.
Magnolia, 2012
These are a week earlier than 2010, and three weeks earlier than 2009. They’re still my favorite flowering tree.
Welcome Home Sergeant Brian Piasecki
A Hero’s Welcome and the Warriors’ Watch had a chance to say ‘thanks’ again to Brian Piasecki.
Orchids and Other Flora
I decided to take another walk around Longwood Gardens to see how the orchids are doing. As usual, I spent time with the calla lilies and the silver room, too.
The Reel Deal
These are scans of real film, all the way to the sprocket holes. This is from a quick Sunday visit to Longwood Gardens. Taken with my F100, and both my 200mm f/4 macro and SMC Takumar 100mm f/4 macro.
