“April Showers bring May Flowers” is the theme for Terri’s latest Sunday Stills photo challenge.

I was in elementary school when I first heard the saying about April showers bringing May flowers. Where I live in coastal Georgia, many of our flowers bloomed in March and have already faded. I walked around my yard to find these flowers the first week of April.

The header image is of my Dogwood tree blooming in the first week of April. I’ve been enjoying the Dogwood flowers since March.

March is peak season for azaleas where I live in coastal Georgia. This light pink bloom is one of the final azaleas in my yard this year.

These Meyer Lemon blossoms will hopefully bring me some lemons this winter.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #273 – Symmetry

November 3, 2023Posted in Flowers, Nature, PhotographyTagged Architecture, Camellia, Hot Air Balloon, Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge, symmetry22 Comments

Sofia has challenged us to feature images that show symmetry. She tells us that symmetry in photography “creates strong and balanced images” and that “our eyes find symmetry harmonious and pleasing.”

My first two images are examples of radial symmetry I found in hot air balloons as they were being inflated at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

The next images are examples of symmetry in architecture.

My last image is symmetry found in nature in my first Camellia bloom of the season.

Many thanks to our host Sophia for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #273 – Symmetry

Yellow is my Favorite Color

For this month’s Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge Terri wants to know if we are all in for yellow. I am!

On a recent visit to middle Georgia my husband and I wandered around Butterflies and Blooms in the Briar Patch at the Briar Patch Walking Trail in Putnam County, Georgia. As I walked along the trail I kept my eyes peeled for butterflies and yellow flowers. I hope you enjoy these yellows as much as I did!

Flowers and butterflies! What’s not to love?

Summertime is My Lazy Time

August 11, 2023Posted in Flowers, PhotographyTagged Coastal Georgia, Lazy Hazy Daze of Summer, summer, Sunday Stills15 Comments

July and August in coastal Georgia are always hot, humid and stormy. It’s too hot to sit outside on my porch or go out to take photos. With heat indexes over 100 degrees Fahrenheit it’s easy to be lazy and stay inside to cool off in the air conditioning. Many afternoons have found me inside reading or watching the storms as they roll in. The rainbows after the storm have been spectacular.

The full moons have been spectacular, too.

It’s much too hot to go out and tend to my garden. This year I got lazy and put off pulling weeds in my flower beds because of the heat. I finally found that if I got started pulling weeds about 8:00 a.m. I could get a little work done before the heat got too much for me. Despite my lack of attention, some of the flowers are thriving.
