We visited Solomon's Island several times lately to deliver photos to Annmarie Garden for exhibits. For fun, we wandered around the boardwalk and the Veteran's memorial before the big summer crowds. Both were nice spots to have a car picnic.
This Friday June 5th, Annmarie Garden will be holding an After Hours artist reception for the opening of the next exhibit "Winging It: Bird Art" 5-7 pm. I will probably get there about 5:30pm. I have one photo in the exhibit and three in the Landmark Exhbit upstairs in the Kay Daugherty gallery. There will be music, wine, a food truck and of course, art. The winners will be announced. There is also a hands on bird exhibit in the nature nook downstairs. Come out and enjoy or at least tell your friends about it!
We visited Lyon Family Farms to photograph the tulips on April 11th after Sotterley. They were somewhat past prime, but I managed to photograph some pretty ones any way. I also brought a few home for still lifes and they seemed a little on the expensive side to me, but they were more unique than the usual grocery store tulips. (i.e. some with fringe or pink and white). I had to think about the angles to photograph to avoid poor backgrounds. There aren't many local tulip gardens within a small distance.
Fellow Camera Club member, Ken Barlow, offered a walk to go see where the eagle nests were at and near Historic Sotterley Plantation. He taught us about eagles as we walked and of course took lots of photos. Some of the walkers came from other camera clubs too. We actually saw an eagle being chased by a crow far in the distance, but I got a better photo of an osprey that was a little closer. I played with the vases in the window for fun.
