The beginning of the year is probably when I take the least amount of photos. It’s cold outside, everything is dead and brown. It’s completely uninspiring. So I bought some sunflowers (my favorite) for a little color and happiness. This photo was taken with my iPhone 14 pro max. Such a great camera. I’ve still … More Photo practice
I’ve got new growth on my Christmas cactus. This is a plant I inherited when my grandmother passed. I don’t particularly like it. It’s real big and is just kind of ugly but I keep it alive and nurture it because it reminds me of her. For day 5, it was my photo subject for … More Summer project day 5

I really do love a photograph when it’s up close and personal. I love the details, the intimacy. This is a Coreopsis from my front yard. I had put out a seed packet of wildflower mix as an experiment last year and surprisingly these came back. I guess I didn’t realize there were some perennials … More Close up
I rented a Lensbaby Velvet 56 a couple of weeks ago, and I must say, I’m a fan. I will admit I wasn’t sure what I would think about it because normally I like a crisp image. But that bokeh and dreamy image that is possible with that lens is addictive, and I have found … More Macro
