Wednesday View - 2 January 2019 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

This past weekend trip to Longwood Gardens was mainly for their Christmas exhibit, "A Longwood Christmas". It's an event that we try to go to every year and it's simply amazing. You really should see it if you ever have the chance. But whenever I visit the Gardens I am always drawn to the flowers. After all they are the main attraction year round. And that's the cool thing. Year round. I can visit any day of the year and see flowers at full bloom. Inside the Conservatory of course. The  Conservatory is warm and offers the perfect environment for the many species of flowers Longwood has to offer. Flowers like the one featured in today's photo.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to shoot orchids. In fact I have a few at home. Unfortunately they are not currently at bloom but should be soon. And when they are I will be sure to share them here.

As for the "unveiling", I am in a holding pattern of sorts. It should be fixed by tonight but these things take time and are completely out of my control. When you see you'll understand.

So that's going to it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Welcome To The Wednesday View

I had a very busy day today my friends and this is getting posted pretty late. For a photo I would like to share one more snapshot from Longwood from our trip last Saturday evening. I still consider this a snapshot though I did do some very minimal tweaking.

And I'm calling it a night. I know this was brief but I will be back real soon with more to share.

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to The Sunday View

Happy New Year Eve my friends! Can you believe another year is about to draw to a close? It seems that the older I get the faster time flies by.

It sure is cold here today. Right now at just after 7 PM it is 10° F (-12° C). And I can only imagine it will get even colder. I suppose we are paying for the last two years when we had Spring like weather most of the Winter.

Last night Kim and I made our way out to Longwood Gardens to see "A Longwood Christmas". And even though it was quite bitter out I really enjoyed seeing it with snow on the ground. It really made it feel like Christmas. Of course I shot lots of photos. All of them snapshots. And today I would like to share a handful of them with you.

And here is another video from the Cafe. It's the same view as yesterday's but with less snow and a much better view of our local wildlife (AKA Cafe guests). This is part 1. I will be sharing more with each post for the next few days.


And that will do it for today. And this year for that matter. I thank you all for your support and viewership. Each day I see more and more people visiting my blog and I truly appreciate it.

Thanks for stopping by and see you in the new year.

Welcome To The "Throwback Thursday" View

Today's throwback goes back to 2014 and one of our many visits to "A Longwood Christmas" at of course Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square Pennsylvania. Longwood is always a great place to shoot plants, flowers and naturally it's wonderful fountains and scenery. But Christmas is very special there. The decorations and lights are amazing. And that brings us to this. Today's photo. And please remember to check out the Original Post Here.

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 7, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

For the past few days I have been sharing photos from our trip to "A Longwood Christmas". Today I would like to share yet another. And it is quite a rare photo I might add. This is the 'Big" Christmas Tree near the entrance that usually has dozens of people gathered around it.


This is one of very few shots I was able to grab with no one blocking the scene. And it's the first time in my years visiting Longwood that I was able to pull his off.

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 6, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

While visiting Longwood for their annual Christmas exhibit I noticed something new. Well actually there was a lot of new but this in particular is a great idea. Especially with the cooler weather we are having. What better way is there to warm up on a chilly Autumn/Winter evening than a nice campfire?


There was at least three of these set up throughout the grounds. And they were very popular. And very warm too!

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 5, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

During our trip to see "A Longwood Christmas" on Saturday I made it a point to also enjoy some of the regular sites too. Not just the Christmas exhibits. One of my favorite things to see while at Longwood is the Topiary Garden. But since is was pretty dark out all I was really able to see was the two guards that stand ready at the entrance.


But hey, it is the Christmas season after all. So we took the time to take in a five minute fountain show at the Open Air Theater.

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 3, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

It's really late my friends so this is going to be super quick. Kim and I and our friends Marion and Rich took a drive out to Longwood Gardens to see their annual Christmas exhibit. And what says Christmas better than a Christmas Tree Ornament. Well okay, lots of things but I hope you still enjoy today's photo.
