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 Wednesday View

Today I am continuing with my series of photos from Longwood and also sharing a second shot from the Waterlily Garden. This time we see a fully bloomed lily.

Hi my friends and welcome to the Friday edition of the Daily View! It's basically the same as the Daily View on other days except it is Friday. And I like Fridays!

Today I would like to share one last photo from Longwood Gardens last week and it is another from the Water Lily Garden.

I had a little difficulty toning down the light but I thought the spider web was cool so I am sharing this shot anyway.

Fast forward to this morning and the Cafe and a lot of hungry birds. And of course a video! Check it out below.

And that will do it for today folks. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Hi folks and welcome to the Daily View. Today I would like to continue with my Longwood theme and share another shot from the Water Lily Garden. This time we have a wider view with some nice reflections.

This like my photo yesterday was made with my phone's camera. A Motorola Droid Turbo. 

I also have another short video to share. I shot this walking so it's a little bouncy. I'll have to work on my walking and recording skills. Check it out below.

And I am calling it a day now. But I'll be back real soon with plenty to share. I hope to see you again here at the blog!

Until next time...

Hi there! When Kim and I visited Longwood Gardens this past weekend for the Nightscape exhibit we arrived early and I was able to shoot some photos of the scenery. Today I would like to share this one with you.

This is from the Water Lily exhibit and was made with my phone's camera. I hate to say that in our rushing around that day I forgot my DSLR. But I think I got some good stuff anyway.

Now I was going to share another video but I haven't gone through all of them yet. So what I would like to do is share my YouTube Channel instead. I have lot's of content there. Some older and some newer. You can check it out at the link below if you like.

And that's it for today folks. Thanks for stopping by!
