Of course, once I’m in the Public Garden it’s hard to get me to leave. I spent most of my time grabbing the shots of the statues with…

Okay, not sure what these swirly plants are but there were lots of them and they looked really cool.

Another flower that is passing by but still has such beauty to it.  May you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. God Bless all the…

We’ve had a lot of rain the past couple of weeks and I think it did some damage to the flowers. However, I still find that they are…

When we arrived at Green Briar Nature Center it was very busy. People were asking if we wanted a wagon and said they were very hard to get….

Spotted this little fella while walking along the South West Corridor Park. I really like the color of the shell.  He was doing a pretty good job making…

Across the street from where I work is a pond. As I was waking to work I saw the two turtles in the first shot sunning themselves. Looks…

These plants were all over the marshy area leading out to the North River. I really like the colors, swirls and textures of them. Very interesting and lots…

This puppy was so adorable. He is a four month old English Bulldog. He was so happy and excited to see all the other dogs. The little black…

We typically see blue herons around the inlet when we walk in the morning. The Great Blue Herons we saw on this river boat tour did look exceptionally…

We saw lots of turtle sunning themselves. I love how they all pile onto one log. I think we saw 4 at one time. I think the guide…

Not only did we see a lot of Osprey nests but we also saw quite a few Ospreys.

This week on the blog we revisit more of the Florida photos from Jonathan Dickinson Park. This was around our fourth alligator sighting. I think they were warming…

It’s been very breezy this winter. Even though it was around 60 this day there was still an ocean breeze that made it a bit cooler. But it…

I wasn’t sure if I’d get this shot but I’m so happy I did as it’s my favorite from the trip. I was standing in the back of…

Okay, the first gator sighting was exciting (for me anyway) but the second gator sighting was outstanding! This guy was BIG…now that’s a gator! Both Mom and I…

I’ve been going to Florida on vacation for years now and I even lived in Florida for 9 months but up until this year I had never seen…

We saw lots of Osprey nests. Probably hard to tell from these shots but they were really big nests. I like the look of the trees with the…

Besides the beautiful weather and later sunset another nice thing about Florida in the winter is seeing vibrant colors in nature. We have had a very snowy winter…

I really liked the look of this flower, that I’ve now named Red Rita. I came across it on one of our morning walks in Florida. It’s warmed…

I’m not someone that knows/remembers the names of birds, plants, people and probably a lot of other things. So, instead of trying to figure out what this plant…

Here’s another shot from the storm at the beginning of the month. Today is only supposed to be about 0º! I will be so bundled up I probably…

I always like how the snow looks on the branches. Somewhat abstract with lots of details to look at. Sometimes I can get lost in thought (or actually…

Not sure what this flower once was but, it looks pretty cool (pun not originally intended) as a snowball.

Happy Thanksgiving to All! I hope you are enjoying the day with loved ones. 

Another cow from the Weir River Farm. This cow was very interested in watching me and the camera. She would very hesitantly walk a little closer to the…

I had originally gone to Weir River Farm to take a photo of the barn. I followed the directions online to where I needed to park which was…

I just loved the color of this flower. I figured with the leaves starting to turn colors the flowers would be starting to wilt or turn brown. However, I’ve…

Doesn’t he/she have the cutest face! He/she looked like a real live stuffed animal to me. The fluffy fur around the face adds just makes me say ‘awe…

One last shot from the photo walk at World’s End. The top photo is me playing with one of my Topaz filters. I actually don’t remember exactly which…

Another shot taken back in July during the photo walk at World’s End.

While this looks like a leaf I might have recently photographed, it was actually taken back in July. I remember snapping the shot at World’s End during the…

Normally, I would crop the bottom of this type of image or Photoshop out the distracting object but here’s a rare glimpse into how I take control of…

Josh and I brought our lunch with us to World’s End and found a nice spot where we could look across the water and see the Boston skyline….

Last year we had tons of acorns and this year looks to be just as abundant. I really enjoy the Autumn colors.

Yesterday I was talking about how it’s still challenging for me to take portraits (especially little kids) but when it came to this duck portrait I had better…
