Happy Birthday, Mom! These rose petals are for you. Love you.

These are the white roses from yesterday’s shot. As you can see they weren’t all white but had pink polka dots. I love the polka dots.

Pretty white roses. I was supposed to be flying back to Boston today from Florida but with the Nor’easter hitting I’ve switched my flight to Friday. I like…

I don’t pull out the 55-250mm lens as much as I should but when I do I’m very happy with the results. This duck was relaxing in the…

Not only are there swan boats in the Public Garden but there are also real swans. I love how this duck is looking at the swan and how…

A closer shot of the tulips from yesterday’s photo. Aren’t they gorgeous?! The colors look so vibrant compared to all the snow and rain we’ve had here this…

Another shot with the macro lens. I’m not sure what this bush is but it looks like some type of pine needle thingy. I liked how the little buds…

I have no idea what plant this bud is from. It’s the same as the leaves from Friday’s photo. Again, I was playing with the macro lens so…

Not all leaves fall of the trees and plants during the Fall. The color of these leaves caught my eye. I think they look so pretty against the…

I’ve been told these berries are from an Indian Magic Crabapple Tree. I think it’s magic that the tree can still have these red berries in the bitter…

We got a light dusting of snow during the day on New Year’s Eve. Just enough to make the branches on the trees look very pretty. Maybe it…

A couple weeks ago when I brought my camera to work I walked through the Central Burying Ground located in the Boston Commons. I spotted this squirrel and…

The top shot is one of those shots where you think “man, I hope that one comes out.” As I was walking back to my apartment I heard…

The nice thing about a snowstorm on a Sunday morning is that most people aren’t up yet. There’s such a wonderful feeling of tranquility when walking around in…

The red berries are always extra vibrant when it snows. They jumped out at me as I was walking by this bush. Not as much snow on these…

I mentioned that last week we had a 70° day and now the weather has turned. It’s cold in the morning, high 20s, but warms up into the…

Talk about crazy New England weather…yesterday we had the first snow of the season (in my area anyway) while just 4 days ago I was sitting outside eating…

Happy Thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for but most of all I am thankful for my wonderful family and good friends in my life. There’s…

It seems as if this Magnolia tree is a little confused, winter’s approaching and yet this tree looks as if it’s starting to get ready to bloom again….

Another image that was all about the colors and textures in the shot. I really love the natural colors of Fall and this lone acorn. There are tons…

The leaves here are quickly falling off the trees. Thankfully they are in different stages so not all trees are bare, as you can see from this image….

Besides the sounds of the sea I really like the look of the ocean water. Whether it is a tropical blue (Blue Grotto in Italy comes to mind)…

This week I’m going back to some of my shots from the Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk (July). This flowers was located in Post Office Square. On…

I went off into the woods to see if I could get a couple of shots of the water flowing down the stream. As I was fighting my…

When I first went out in the kayak I brought my little Powershot Canon camera with me. I took some shots of the cabin, lily pads, and then…

When I left for Italy it was still pretty brown around here. There were some flowers just starting to bud and the grass was becoming more lush. However,…

I’ve got an itch for takeout instead of leftovers. This is the same duck that I had posted here and here back in June. I didnt’ realize I…

This shot was taken last August. I’m pretty sure I was out at Saquish beach and these clouds came rolling in. Last week when I was looking the…

Last shot of the tulip. I’m fascinated by the detail that makes up this flower. Everything about it is perfect. It’s 28° outside this morning! Where’s Spring? Actually,…

The vivid colors of this tulip stopped me in my tracks. It’s still very brown around here so this bright yellow and red tulip jumped right out of…

As I was walking over to DD Ramler Park to take yesterday’s image and passed by this tulip. How amazing are the colors and design of this flower!

Some more signs that Spring has arrived. Flowers have slowly begun to bloom this past week. It’s good to see vibrant colors once again.

Signs of Spring are finally starting to pop up out of the ground and off of branches. I just loved the color of this little flower. While Spring…

This duck quacked me up! Sorry, I couldn’t resist writing that. But he really did make me laugh. He was just standing in the water on this pipe…

Not sure if this furry stuff is good or bad for the branch. It looked as if it was a winter coat and now with Spring here it…
