A Few Members of the Poppy Family

by hankinslawrenceimages | May 11, 2020 | Papaveraceae Family

As I’ve been editing some of my photos, I found several photos of flowers in the Papaveraceae (or Poppy) family that I wanted to share. The first several photos are flowers that are native to the Eastern United States. The final photo, Bleeding Hearts – Dicentra spectabilis – is native to Asia.

Music in the Streets

by hankinslawrenceimages | May 6, 2020 | Louisiana

One of things I love to do in New Orleans is just walk around and listen to the music. Especially it the French Quarter – it seems like there is another set of wonderful musicians playing in the streets around every corner.

Here are some of my photos of New Orleans Street Musicians

Street Art in Faubourg Marigny Neighborhood

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 29, 2020 | Louisiana

On a walk through New Orleans’ Faubourg Marigny neighborhood a few years ago, I found myself photographing the unexpected art I was seeing – whether it was what some might call grafitti to murals to painting around a store entrance. Here are some of my favorite photos from my walk.

Details in the French Quarter of New Orleans

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 22, 2020 | Louisiana

Sometimes when I’m walking around a city like New Orleans – I just wander with my camera in hand, photographing whatever catches my eye. When I get back and look at my photos for the day, sometimes I’ll see that a theme as emerged in my photos of the day. All of these photos came from a walk in the French Quarter where I seemed to be focusing on architectural details.

Dearest Friend – New Photo

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 20, 2020 | New Photos, Still Life

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Dearest Friend – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/dearest-friend/

In the Victorian Language of Flowers, bronze chrysanthemums symbolize friendship. As I created this still life, I imagined a woman about to jot a quick note on a postcard to her best friend. They have been friends since childhood, maintaining their friendship across the miles and through the years by regularly sending notes, letters, cards and photographs.

This photograph is available matted to 11 X 14 and 16 X 20
