Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Our garden needs a lot of work. Oh I keep it neat and the lawn is always mowed but we really need to get in there and do some weeding and mulching. But the weather here has been very rainy. Off and on. Yesterday it probably rained at least ten different times. It would rain for a bit and then get sunny and hot and then the sky would turn dark and it would rain again. Sometimes it would rain when it was sunny and bright. It's been this way all week. So yard work has been on hold. But as you know I have been spending some time out there. With my camera that is. And while shooting pictures of our squirrels and birds I also shot some of our flowers too. Today I would like to share one of then with you. One that we've been waiting on to bloom. It got to the point where I wasn't sure if we would see it's flowers. But it finally did bloom and it was worth the wait. Here is our hydrangea.

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 9, 2015

Today's Daily view is a quick shot I made with my phone's camera on my way out the door for work this morning. Check it out.

This is our hydrangea. Last year it didn't flower at all and this year it only produced one flower. And you are looking at it. There is still time for more but I think this is it. We'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

April 14, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday I showed you one of the annual flowers we planted on Sunday. Today I would like to show you one of our perennials. This is our Hydrangea.

You cant see it here in this photo but at the end of the season last year I never pruned back he stems and now there are a lot of leaves growing out of them. I guess it's a little late now. Oh well, I think it will fill out nicely. I just hope it flowers. Last year we got a lot of nice full leaves but no flowers. But neither did any of our neighbors who have Hydrangeas. And I think I may have found the answer here. If you have a Hydrangea you may want to read this. As for this photo I wish I had used a tripod. I did it handheld and it's a tad blurry.

I also got this when I was outside photographing our greenery.

Again a tripod would have done this wonders. That and a lower film speed. I still like it though.

And that's all for now folks. I'll be back real soon. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

November 13, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday when I photographed our Rhododendron I also shot a few pictures of our Hydrangea. It is still very full. There are no flowers but the leaves are almost out of control. Last Winter I pruned it way down and it came back with a vengeance. I'm not sure what to do this year.

The funny thing about this Hydrangea is that Kim and I cannot remember if we planted it or if it spread from our neighbor's plant. I know for certain that it was not originally there. There was another bush and we removed it. I just cant remember how the Hydrangea got there. Either way it sure took off.

For today's photo I would actually like to share two photos with you. The first one is a black and white version of our Hydrangea and the second is in color. here is the black and white.

And here of course is the color photo.

I personally like the black and white better.

And before I go I would also like to share another sunrise time lapse. I shot this one this morning. And it sure was a nice cool and clear morning.

Thanks for stopping by and please check back soon.

Until next time...
