Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Happy Independence Day To all of my American readers! To everyone else Happy 4th of July!

Today Kim and I were both off from work in observance of the holiday so we had a rare chance to visit Longwood Gardens during a Summer month. And that's just we did. So in place of a throwback photo I would like to share some pictures from Longwood. I love visiting Longwood this time of year when all of the flowers are in full bloom. There is just so much to see. And I got a lot of terrific shots. To make sharing some of them a little more organized I am posting them in categories. To start things off I would like you to see some shots from the Water Lily Garden. These are all of course water lilies but if you look closely you will see a stowaway or two. Of these shots I have a personal favorite but I am curious as to which one you like the best. If you would be so kind please let me know in the comments.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Sometimes the littlest subjects make the biggest subjects. Or something like that but I think you know what I'm saying.

When out shooting I record a good variety of what nature has to offer. Landscapes are obviously a big one and of course squirrels and birds. People? Not so much. And when I do they are either family or close friends and those pictures tend to be candid. But aside from all of that I also like to focus on the little things. You would be amazed at how much photographic material I can find in just a few small feet of space. It's not always easy but usually very much worth it. Take today's image as an example. I saw this dragon fly (I think it's a dragon fly) while out walking with Kim and Terry and did my best to capture it to share here. This is the only good shot out of about 10 or so.

I should have set my camera to Shutter Priority but I shot this on the spur of the moment. Still not too shabby though.

Here is the EXIF data.

And here is Yesterday's View.

I don't think I shared this before but even if I did it's worth sharing again.

This website and the apps that work along with it is an excellent resource in the identification of birds. And all you need is a picture. I have personally used it and fully recommend it for your bird watching needs. Click Here to check it out.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
