Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today I have a few more pics that I want to share with you from Longwood last week. I spend a lot of my time there shooting flowers but I do also snap some pictures of scenery. And two of those from last week stood out to me. I have included color photos of both but I have also included one black and white. I'm not sure which I like better but am leaning toward the black and white. Please let me know what you think if you're so inclined.

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

Until next time...

It seems that no matter where I go I find a squirrel. Or perhaps they find me? And Longwood Gardens is no exception. I was on my way back to the main entrance to head home and I looked up and saw this guy looking down. I didn't have anything to feed him but I don't think I would be allowed to anyway. Not in the gardens. So I took a few pictures of him and would like to share one of them with you. As an aside I only had a 50mm lens on my camera that day. I just got it at Christmas and wanted to use it for photographing flowers. I must say I am very pleased with the results. Though it's not as good for shots like this one. I don't think it turned out too bad though considering.

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

Today I am sharing a few more shots from Longwood as I keep going through Saturday's work. This is pretty much it for my flower photos from the weekend. And while I am not 100% satisfied with them I still think they are worth posting. Hopefully I'll get back there soon as the outdoor flowers start to bloom.

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

Today we take another look at my Saturday visit to Longwood but this time I am shifting from flowers to birds. I saw these guys as I was walking along one of the many paths on my way back to the main entrance.

And welcome to the first day of Spring. Although yesterday felt a lot more Springlike this weather still beats snow and ice. And I'm able to have the windows open so there's that. Now speaking of Spring what better way to celebrate it's arrival than to enjoy some more flowers from my trip to Longwood yesterday? Well okay I'm sure there are better ways but I'm going to share some with you anyway. Actually one. For today's view I would like to share a few shots I made of some lilies. Lilies can be put on the list of my favorites right up there with Orchids. In fact I hope some of mine will be coming up as soon as the warm weather is a little more consistent. For now though please have a look at these. And be sure to click on the images to see a larger version.

Today has been another beautiful one my friends. It's warm and for most of the day it's been sunny and just a great day to spend some time outside with nature. And for the first time in over a year and a half I visited one of my favorite places, Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square Pennsylvania. For those of you who are not familiar I have included a link above but it's a 1,077 acre botanical garden that was once the home of Pierre S DuPont.You really should check the link if you want to know more than I can tell you though. What I can do is share a few pictures from my visit today. In fact I'll probably be sharing them for a few days. But to start things off I would like to show you some Orchids. Orchids are one of my favorite flowers and Longwood has plenty. Please have a look.

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

Today, once again skipping a throwback photo, I would like to share another handful of pictures from Longwood last week. It was such a nice day for shooting and Longwood Gardens is always a great place to do so. If you get the chance to visit I highly recommend you do. And bring a camera.

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!

Today's throwback is from April 18, 2015 at one of my favorite places. Longwood Gardens. Longwood is probably second only to Valley Forge for number of frames shot. Though I haven't visited either one a whole lot lately. Be sure to Click Here to see my original post. There's a couple videos you may like to watch.

Okay, Maybe The Cafe is second. But it is a close race.

Today I am continuing to share photos from our trip to Longwood yesterday. The more and more I go over the days work the more I find I really like. It was a good day behind the camera.

It seems that today's theme is orchids. And Longwood has many different variety. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I just wish my own orchids would bloom this nicely.

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

Today was probably the warmest of the year so far and Kim and I took advantage of it. The Sun was shining and temperature topped out at around 78° F which was perfect weather to head out to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square Pennsylvania. With camera in hand of course. And though it's still early Spring we saw lots of blooms. today I would like to share some with you.

It was nice to get out and shoot for a while. Recently it seems like there is just little time to do so. I guess the colder seasons are a big part of it. Today though I think I captured some really good stuff. Stay tuned over the next couple of days for more.

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