Azaleas Part 2

We dropped by Annmarie Garden again to photograph the azaleas.  This time I remembered to bring my flash.  I especially like the multicolored ones.  So pretty!

This one was made of 2 photos edited together to make it sharper.

Spring Camelias to Enjoy

I wish I could grow camelias in my yard.  Unfortunately, our land was a garbage dump for Native Americans a long time ago and is high pH (lime soil).  I couldn't grow azaleas here, even with extra stuff added to the soil.

Fortunately, there are some camelias not to far away that I love to photograph.

Butterfly Season is Here

I cut some lavender colored lilacs recently and got to see my first butterflies this Spring.  I grabbed my cell phone and photographed a few Eastern Tiger Swallowtails with nice complimentary colors, purple and yellow.  There were lots of busy bees too, so I moved very slowly.

Spring is Here

That poor groundhog must have been confused.  It is Spring here and winter for much of the country.  There are buds everywhere in Southern Maryland.

Chanticleer's Lovely Gardens

We visited Chanticleer in Wayne, PA.  The gardens were lovely this time of year.  We were visiting a very ill relative, so seeing some flower gardens was a good distraction.

     I love curves.  The garden goes to the   Minder ruin.

Think Pink!

Just some pictures within walking distance of my current job.  Sometimes good photos are closer than you think.
