I love the color and fullness of these mums. They are sitting on a stump of an old tree that had to be cut down a few weeks…

I almost forgot to post a photo today. Since I have the Columbus Holiday off, it felt like a Sunday. It’s looking like it’s going to be a…

Rainy day yesterday and today, which is fine since I have been sick all weekend. The cold isn’t so bad it’s the sore throat that is really annoying….

My Dad took this photo. He asked if he could see my new camera. I was showing him some of the buttons when this bird started putting it’s…

I shoot in RAW as opposed to JPEG. RAW is the uncompressed, unprocessed image out of the camera. You have to bring it into a software progam (like…

I don’t buy sparkling jewelry- I’m allergic to most metalsI don’t buy sequined dresses- I like comfort and shop LL BeanI don’t buy glittery shoes- again, comfortBut, a…

Another resident of the Berkshires, that I met on my first day, was Stanley. It’s hard to tell in this photo but Stanley is a big boy (long…

After the hummingbirds seemed to get used to me and the camera (see yesterday’s post), I moved down closer to them (as seen in the first two shots)….

Mom and Dad have two hummingbird feeders at the house. One out front and one out back. Both can be seen while sitting on the porch. The hummingbirds…

Seeing as this squirrel was preoccupied with the potato chip I was able to get fairly close and she stayed pretty still. What I really should have taken…

This handsome guy was hanging out in the Muddy River along the Fenway. Typically, I have to go to Florida or out to the Berkshires to get a…

I took this shot during the macro Meetup a couple weeks ago. The baby swan at the Jenny Gristmill is getting bigger and her neck is much longer….

Okay, back to a macro image of a flower. But, what I like about this image is the background (and the bug). I really like the crisscross look…

At one point during the MeetUp I walked around looking for macro shots that weren’t of flowers. I came across a tree with mushrooms growing up the side….

Wow, where did June go! I can’t believe it’s July 1st already. This week’s forecast is scattered showers and humidity. Hopefully, July 4th will be okay so we…

Now, my brother will tell you, “this is not a cute bunny!” I would have to disagree, come on, look how cute she is. Of course, she doesn’t…

I don’t know if it’s because we had a long cold, snowy winter, or what, but I’m loving this spring! Apparently, all the animals kept busy in the…

It was a beautiful day when we meet to take photos of the dragonflies. The only issue was the wind. Apparently, if it’s to windy then they won’t…

Not this past weekend, but the weekend before I did a MeetUp with the Plymouth Photography Group. It’s been a few months since I’ve done one of the…

After all that excitement, baby swan needed a nap. I don’t blame her.

Baby swan was happy that her parents came back and didn’t really abandon her. Mom and I were also relieved that they were all together again. 

Just as fast as the swans took off, they came flying back in. Quite the show they put on. Wish my focus was better on some of the…

Yesterday, I showed the mother and father swan taking off after being aggressive towards the ducks and geese. Well, this is what they left behind. The poor baby…

These shots were taken a couple weeks ago at the Jenny Gristmill pond. The swans were being very aggressive towards the geese and ducks in the pond that…
