This April we visited Boxerwood Nature Center & Woodland Gardens in Lexington, VA. We had never visited this volunteer-mananged informal arboretum before and we enjoyed the variety of plants and spring flowers.

After a recent snow and attending a zoom webinar on street photography, I took a camera when Beverly and I walked in our neighborhood.

I noticed water drops on the garage door from melting ice on the garage door windows. I quickly took some pictures.

One afternoon in late December we saw clouds which showed multiple colors which changed as we watched. I have since learned that this formation of colors in clouds, known as irisation, is relatively rare.

We were passing through Calabash, NC where we saw a man with several large tortoises in a vacant lot. He said they were Sulcata Tortoises (also known as the African Spurred Tortoise) and he was with a tortoise rescue.

In October 2021 Beverly and I visited Sunset Beach, NC where we spent three days with her daughters and granddaughter. We also visited the Outer Banks to see the lighthouses.

This abandoned truck in a cow pasture near Keezletown, VA has a tree growing through it.

Beverly and I recently participated in a photo scavenger hunt in Seven Bends State Park, Virginia's newest state park.

In our neighborhood, there is a spot in the grass between the street and the sidewalk where a wild mushroom occasionally appears. Sometimes it is mowed or cut down and sometimes it just withers away. One day on her way out of the development Beverly noticed that it had returned. When she reached her destination, she called me to tell me about it, so I went there and cut it off at ground level so…

I have tracked the development of an oxeye sunflower from bud to final form, concentrating on close-ups of the center of the flowers.

A dump truck rolled over in a new development near our home. Apparently not a big deal to the heavy equipment operators.

Bryce Canyon National Park is noted for its "hoodoos", which are irregularly shaped columns of rock. Hoodoos exist around the world, but by far the largest concentration is found in Bryce Canyon.

There was a total lunar eclipse on January 20, 2019 and we had clear skies for the event so I was able to photograph it.

The Peace Lily is a tropical, evergreen perennial houseplant with unusual blooms that can take nearly four months to develop.

This photograph of the Super Pink Full Moon was photographed on April 26, 2021 and was planned with the PhotoPills app on my phone.
