Purple to Red

Again, I don’t know names of flowers. The first image was the one that really caught my eye. I loved the purple and the shape of the bud….

Star Flower

I have no idea what type of flower this is but I love the look of it. It reminds me of a starfish.

Photo Walk: Spider Web

The 4th place choice for the #1 photo walk image is Spider Web. Getting the right angle to have the light shine through the web was more difficult…

Photo Walk: Purple Flower

A week ago Saturday (July 24th) was the 3rd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. The past 2 years I’ve signed up for a walk in Boston. This…

Dragonfly

Saw this dragonfly while hanging out at a pond. I like how the background worked out to be a solid green. There must have been a leaf behind…

Cody: Doggone Cute!

Meet the newest member of my cousin Kevin B.’s family…Cody. Kevin says that “Cody’s a Cavachon. It’s a cross between a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and a Bichon….

Baby Bird

A couple weekends ago my brother, Chris and I took bikes over to Wompatuck State Park. This was my first time visiting the park and I’m not sure…

Droplets

I love the macro lens. It really makes you see things differently. It’s fun to see things up close and personal. 

Water Droplets

A little closer look at the water droplets from yesterday’s photo.

Green Stem

These weren’t rain drops on this bud but instead it had just been watered (by hand or sprinkler, not sure). However, that doesn’t really matter as I think…

Get Your Ducks In A Row

A week ago, Mom and Dad met me for lunch in Plymouth. We got take-out from Lobster Hut and ate on a bench near the water. When we…

Spiral Petals

How cool is this flower?! I love the mix of colors. Such a vibrant fun flower.

Lavender Petals

Once again I used the macro lens from work and I really love the bokeh (aesthetic quality of the blur) it produces. Such a pretty color to this…

Yellow Petals

I don’t have much to say this week. Another flower shot with pretty yellow petals.  I did sign up for a camera workshop class for this Sunday. It’s…

White Petals 2

This would be a rose from the Rose Garden. I loved how delicate the petals look on this flower. 

White Petals

This week we have a bunch of flower shots. Some were taken at the D. Ramler Park and others at the Rose Garden. Both located in the Fenway…

Shelter from the Rain

In yesterday’s photo I showed a shot of last weeks downpour. As I was standing on my balcony getting yesterday’s image, I saw these squirrels trying to find…

Sunscreen

Another shot from the East Over Reservation. When we were trespassing on the land across from the farm (see East Over Reservation Homestead) we walked through the family…

Bleeding Hearts

I love this plant! They’re so pretty and they’re shaped as little hearts! This plant is located at Mom and Dad’s house along the walkway. A nice thing…

Ruffled Feathers

The pelicans don’t like it when I try to get too close to them. I had better luck with this guy (although he kept his eye on me…

Luscious Tulips

A closer look at all those tulips. So very pretty.  

Tip Toe Through The Tulips

I mentioned the vibrant colors in the Public Garden with yesterday’s photo but you should see these tulips in person. The colors explode out of the ground! This…

Spring has Sprung

If I’m bringing the DSLR camera to work with me then it’s almost a given that I’ll walk over to the Public Garden and take some pictures. With…

Play Ball?

Well, it’s not a ball but this dog was having a good time playing with this coconut at the beach. I think this is one of my favorite…

Golden Pelican

I had gone out to get some shots of the sunset and it was a little early so I decided to walk over by Shrimpers and get some…

Red Powder Puff

I hope everyone had a happy Easter. I flew back down to Florida on Saturday to spend Easter with Mom and Dad. I’m still posting images from Florida…

Cactus

Back to more photos from Florida. Came across this cactus plant as we were talking a morning walk. I believe cactus like warm dry weather the best which…

Snowbird

This might be one of the snowbirds the bumper sticker from yesterday was talking about. We’ve had lots of rain the past few days. It’s been nice looking…

Wood Log

I loved the textures and tones of this log. That’s all I have to say.

Move Along

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post these birds weren’t too happy that I was invading their space. I tried to slowly approach them to get some really close…

They’ve Got A Leg Up On Me

I’ll admit I Photoshopped out the bird turd to make this image more appealing (maybe that’s why they have their leg up)! I went out to walk on…

Gliding

On land pelicans look awkward to me. They look very prehistoric, their bills seem too large for their bodies and when they eat a whole fish it looks…

Snack Time

I don’t think this little fella was going to share his snack with me. Guess I don’t blame him. The squirrels in Stuart, FL are much more skittish…

Pink Palm

There wasn’t a whole lot of color in Florida (it has been unseasonable cold) but when I did see some it seemed extra vibrant. I really loved the…

Oh, Coconuts!

These beauties were actually being thrown out with the trash. I guess they are so common in Florida that people just toss them out with the rest of…

Little Lizard

Last year I saw a bunch of these little guys. This year I didn’t see as many except for this one tree that seemed to house a few…
