Amidst the chaos of moving I gave myself a morning off to visit the rose gardens this week. Some of the roses were near peak, some past and some still waiting to bloom. I found myself wishing I had gone the day after the generous rains we received a week or so ago. This image… Continue reading Pi nk Rose

New Oak Leaves
On my trip to Arizona a couple of weeks ago I had it in mind to do a lot of macro photography in Oak Creek Canyon. Between road construction and wind it didn’t really happen as I had planned. But I did get a few shots off between wind gusts and this one captured my… Continue reading New Oak Leaves
Lilac
One of the gifts of photography is that it helps me to see things in a new way. How many of us, when we look at a lilac bush, see the individual blossoms or the tiny buds waiting to burst into bloom? This image was taken with my 100mm macro lens with a canon D250… Continue reading Lilac
White Pansey with texture
Before After Pansies are one of my favorite flowers. While I like to try to fill the frame in my flower images it is a little hard to do with a pansy without losing something important. It seems that adding textured backgrounds to flower images is all the rage these days so I thought I… Continue reading White Pansey with texture
Eye Candy
One of the painters in my artist’s group refers to my images as eye candy. I’m sure she means that in the most positive sense and that is how I take it. This image is one that clearly falls into that category. I was taking a workshop on Creative Macro Photography with Photographer Charles Needle… Continue reading Eye Candy
Lily Abstract
In my longing for spring I picked up a bouquet of yellow lilies at the grocery store on Monday. This has turned out to be the gift that keeps on giving as every day there are fresh new blooms and I feel compelled to drag out the camera and tripod once more. This image was… Continue reading Lily Abstract
Winter Leaf
This image was taken with my smart phone. I did not set out to photograph with my smart phone it just happened that way. You see it was a beautiful day in New Mexico and I was wracking my brain for someplace to shoot outside that was not too far from home. I kept thinking… Continue reading Winter Leaf
Belated Roses
I apologize for being late with this weekly post but I suffered a hard drive failure last week and just got my computer back today. Happily no images were lost and that was sheer luck because I have been seriously negligent about backing up. Lesson learned! So I was playing with a bouquet of roses… Continue reading Belated Roses
Milk Abstract
It was another week of snarfy winter weather here in New Mexico so my plan to go to the Bosque del Apache was thwarted. My backup plan to go shoot inside the greenhouse at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens was also twarted by snow or a threat of snow each day. And it was too cold… Continue reading Milk Abstract
Curly Fern
Before After I traveled to San Diego last week with just the EOS M to really put it through its paces and see if I could make it work as a travel camera. This image is the result of an experiment to see if I could do macro photography using my Tamron 18-270 lens with… Continue reading Curly Fern
