Project 365 – Day 102 I’m still loving the dogwoods while they last.  Their blooms will not be with us much longer, but for now, they rock!  They are like a cherished family member or friend  you only see once a year.  While together, you seek to maximize your visit and build lasting memories. Fuji […]

Project 365 – Day 100 Wisteria is another one of my spring southern favorites.  It grows on a vine, typically in trees or along fences.  It can be invasive, but nite quite as overtaking as kudzu and much prettier.  This group grows is along a random tree line and overgrowth area near our home.  I […]

Project 365 – Day 97 The quintessential sign of spring for me is the arrival of blooming dogwood and redbud trees.  These are indigenous to much of the south, and the Tennessee countryside where I grew was full of them.  I cannot remember a spring when they were not both prevalent and hearty.  Once they […]

Project 365 – Day 95 Easter means many things all at once, the resurrection being the most important, of course.  But it also represents springtime with tulips in bloom, azaleas starting to peek their way through, and a blanket of pollen ushering in April.

Project 365 – Day 79 Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn. ~ Quoted by Lewis Grizzard in Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You Fuji X100s, 23mm f/2.0, 1/100 sec @ f/8.0, ISO1250

Project 365 – Day 74 The peacefulness and beauty of the sunset marks a resting point for the light of each day.  The tiresome day is almost past.  As light prepares to exit, the warmth of the setting sun peaks through, as if to share a parting kiss. One of the many blessings of chasing […]

Project 365 – Day 63 Only those who care about you can hear you when you’re quiet. ~ Unknown Fuji X100s, 23mm f/2.0, 1/180 sec @ f/5.6, ISO800

Project 365 – Day 60 Much is going on in this scene, which greatly challenged my compositional skills.  There are vines, briars, and overgrowth everywhere.  Each are fitting companions to the deteriorating shed and decaying, horizontal tree trunks.  I always try to simplify  elements of a composition in an effort to convey the primary subject(s) […]
