Saturday View - 18 April 2020 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Cold with a slight breeze. Two things that can make you not want to spend a lot of time in the garden. But by this afternoon I had to at least get out and check on the new greenhouse and make sure everything was doing well. And it is I'm happy to say. I also spent a little time with the camera. mostly trying to get some action shots of Schnitzel running. I got a few but he really didn't cooperate. I guess he was too busy investigating some birds and general goings on in his yard. I did get some good shots of some dogwood buds though. Both dogwoods in the front and back yards are blooming nicely and should fill out quite well soon. And for today's view I am sharing this cool picture I grabbed. And funnily enough I didn't see that strand of spider web until I looked over what I shot.



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

Until next time...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Hi there my friends. I hope everyone enjoyed or is enjoying their Easter. Ours was wonderful. We spent a lot of the day enjoying our own backyard and had a very nice dinner with good friends and family. And of course I got some camera time in while out in the yard (aka the Cafe). Our trees and flowers are really blooming now and looking good. As I have mentioned before, one of the reasons I wanted this house was the weeping willow that came along with it. But I love all of our trees. And they are plentiful. In fact we have three dogwoods. Today I would like to share some flowers on one of them that caught my eye.










Stay tuned for more of my Cafe blooms. And maybe a bird or squirrel. I have lots to share.

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

Until next time...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

So it seems as if we have gone from Sprinter (A Spring that feels a lot like Winter) right into Summer. I don't know what the official high was today but at one point the thermometer in my truck read 93° F (34° C). But I will not complain about it. I love Summer.

After work this afternoon I made it a point to water all of our flowers and bushes and generally take in the beauty of it all. We are so lucky for what we have but we are especially fortunate for the abundant wildlife and nature around us. It sure does give me a lot of opportunity for my photography.

For today's view I would like to share a couple shots of our blooming dogwood trees. I'll admit I had a bit of a time getting clear images because of an on and off breeze but I think these came out good.

Welcome To The Saturday View

Today as we were getting ready to head out and run our weekend errands I noticed some cool shadows on our front lawn. They were cast by our dogwood tree. So I grabbed my camera and shot off a few frames. After processing one of them it just seemed to need something else. Or maybe something less? It came to me and I removed the color and what a world of difference it made. So for today's photo I share this.

Welcome To The Daily View

I am told we are going to get a good amount of rain over the next day or two. So when I got home this afternoon I figured I better get out there and mow our yard so the  grass doesn't get out of control when the weather turns dry. And when I was out there I saw this really nice view of one of our dogwood trees and promptly grabbed my camera so I could share it with you.
