Wednesday View - 27 June 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's view is a quick snapshot I made this afternoon in our garden. Our hosta continues to grow and thrive and now the buds that I shared about a week ago have started to bloom. This really brings back some good memories of growing up with the very same plant and I truly could not be happier with it. Once it gets a bit larger I may even take part of it and plant it in another part of our yard. The more the merrier as they say.

Wednesday View - 20 June 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today I would like to shift from the shore points of New Jersey and focus on something a little more local. And by local I mean our own backyard which is better known as the Cafe. Believe it or not we have done a good amount of work in the yard even though we travel a lot more nowadays. We have put in several new plants and even installed a new bird bath. But the crown jewel of them all is our hosta. And it really is something special. This particular hosta can be traced back to the yard of my Great Grandparents in Northeast Philadelphia. I don't know exactly how old it is and don't know all of the details of how the original plant was separated and part of it ended up at the house I grew up in. But I do know that when we sold that house my Sister Elaine took part of it and planted it at her house. Fast forward a few more years and that portion ended up at our present house and in the Cafe. I planted it last Summer and it did pretty good but this Spring it took off very well. And for that I am very pleased. And I will certainly do my best to protect and even spread it out even more.

For today's view I would like to share our hosta with you.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Moving from the backyard and yesterday's pear picture I would like to take you out front to check out our now flowering Hosta.

Pretty soon these should be fully open. I'll be sure to share an updated photo when they are.

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 8, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View. Yesterday I shared a cool squirrel photo that I shot when I was working on this photo which I originally intended to show you. Boy, that was a mouth full!

These are buds growing out of our hosta. Pretty soon it will be at full bloom. Hopefully I'll get some shots of that to share too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 24, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View! We sure did have some storm last night but fortunately we didn't have any damage. Some other nearby places were not so lucky. There are trees down and a lot of people are without electricity. With all of the rain and the warm weather our flowers (and grass, ugh) are really growing. So today I would like to share this with you.

This is our hosta. It has a lot of blooms this year and they will probably open fully this week.

I also have another storm video to show you. This was shot with my action cam. The sound is a bit muted because it was in it's waterproof case. And a couple minutes in there is some rain on the front lens cover but you will definitely get the idea. Check it out at the link below.

And that will do it for now folks. Thanks for stopping by.

Exploration Photography Daily View - May 27, 2015

Hi and welcome to today's edition of the Exploration Photography Daily View. Check out what I've got for you today.

This is a hosta at my sister Elaine's house. I shot this on Saturday. What makes it special to me is that it was grown from a clipping of the hosta at the house I grew up in. And even better than that is that according to what my Mom always told me is that it was originally from the house she grew up in. So while I don't know precisely how old it is it certainly is pretty old.

Thanks for stopping by folks.

Until next time...

April 30, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday I told you that I was going to write a quick post and it kind of grew a little. Well today I really am going to make it quick. I have a lot in the works though and will have a lot more for you real soon. Including a more organized and streamlined system that will let me continue to post every day. But for today I have two photos to show you. So let's get right to it.

This first photo is our  hosta that I showed you a couple weeks ago. It sure has grown.

And this second photo is tonight's moon. It's not my best work but I had a hard time with the wind. It made it really difficult to get a crisp clear image.

And that's all for now. Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back real soon and I hope you will be too.

Until next time...

April 20, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

They say April showers bring May flowers. Well if that is true then we should have enough flowers to cover the entire planet! Now I realize that is a bit of an exaggeration but we sure did get a lot of rain very quickly. And we are supposed to get more tonight but it sure doesn't look like it. But you never know. I truly believe that meteorology is partly based on guesswork. after all, who can really say what nature has in mind?

Now I usually save any videos for the end of my post but I would like to place a link for today's at the beginning. Why? Because the day started out with heavy rain and this video was filmed in that rain. This particular camera has a water proof case so I was able to grab some footage of what else, the Avian Cafe. Hey birds need to eat when it's raining too. Check it out at the following link.

When I got home from work the rain had cleared away and I was able to photograph some of our budding garden.

Here we have a couple shots of our Hosta.

And here's a couple of our Rhododendron.

And you know I have to sneak a bird in too right? Actually this is several birds lined up on top of our Arborvitaes.

And there you have it. My rainy day update. Now maybe we can dry out and let places that need the rain have it. Can you hear me California?

Thanks for stopping by folks. I really do appreciate it.

Until next time...
