Last year, I was lucky enough to get a shot of a snowy owl. I had to ride out to Saquish, crawl on the ground in the cold…

I went to the park in the late morning. Not an ideal time for taking photos because the sun is pretty harsh but I loved how it was…

Most of the flowers around here are past their peak but these daisys still looked pretty fresh.

This was the 5th year for the Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk. I have signed up for the walk every year. On the same day, all over…

Over the weekend I saw these gourds (I’m assuming they are gourds) displayed out front of a shop in Plympton. I don’t think I’ve ever seen gourds like…

Can you believe it’s October 1st?! I think I seriously have to change my diet this month. I haven’t lost the weight from last winter so I can’t…

I went to a conference yesterday in NH. The fall foliage is starting to come out up there. Lots of bright reds this year. It should really be…

The colors on this plant were amazingly vibrant. When I walked into the Public Garden this plant stopped me in my tracks. I just love the details, the…

I just loved the light falling on this flower and how vibrant it made the yellow. It’s definitely fall now. The mornings are cool so that you have…

I hadn’t walked through the Public Garden in a while. The weather was so nice last week that I decided to take my morning walk through the Garden….

Fall officially arrived this past weekend and it was perfect. I visited Mom and Dad yesterday and these beautiful gourds were sitting on the farmer’s porch. Mom and…

I have no idea what this plant is but I love how funky it is. It sort of looks like eyeballs stuck on red stems.

There are lots of seagulls out at Saquish. This gives me ample opportunity to practice capturing an object in motion.

Okay, the little boy from yesterday’s shot might have gotten a little too close for comfort. Or the fact that he would run after the ducks scared them…

This is my Mom’s humming bird feeder. It is located right on the outside of one of the screens on the porch. When you are sitting in the…

While we were inside playing, the upstairs neighbor knocked on the door to see if we’d like to see a dove and her babies. It’s pretty amazing the…

I didn’t do any processing to the colors in these photos. The roses were so vibrant in the James P. Kelleher Rose Garden. I managed to also capture…

Another shot in The Fenway (part of the Emerald Necklace). This time as I was leaving work to walk to the train I came across this mother and…

As I was walking to work along The Fenway I looked up and saw this magnificient creature. I took a few shots with my smaller camera but then…

Some more yellow that caught my eye.

The bright yellow of this bud caught my eye.

Springtime means the babies are here. These goslings were getting pretty big. Just a little fuzz and yellow left on them.

Lots of lovely flowers on our photo walk through Plymouth.

Not only was the swan bathing while we were at the park but also the geese were taking a bath. Apparently, we arrived just after their lunch time…

No, I didn’t plant a golf ball or Photoshop anything into the top photo! I was actually lucky enough to catch this turtle laying her eggs. I discovered…

This beautiful flowering plant is also in my brother’s back yard. It’s a gorgeous centerpiece to their garden.

Just last week I was talking with my parents and brother about lady slippers and how I haven’t seen any since I was a kid. Yesterday I was…

Yesterday I had a duck on the blog, today I say “goose.” I like how the telephoto lens gave the background a really nice blur. I don’t use…

This was back a few weeks ago when we had really warm weather. I think this duck was looking for a cool spot. I have a friend who…

Whle lots of flowers and trees are blooming many things are also quickly passing by. Last week I saw these beautiful tulips in front of the Northeastern University…

Yesterday was rainy as is today but it’s good for the flowers and trees. With such a warm winter and dry spring we’ve been in a draught. Let’s…

Spring is really starting to show her colors. I just thought this flower was so pretty.

Yes, Spring flowers are starting to bloom! Actually, with the early warm weather we had some trees and flowers starting blooming a little too early…especially when we ended…
