Bill and I each have several photos in the Montgomery County Camera Club Exhibit, “Emergence of Artistry” at ArtSeen Gallery in Rockville this month.
A portion of the proceeds from sales from the show will be donated to Arts on the Block which empowers creative youth to imagine and shape fulfilling futures, join the creative workforce, and contribute to their communities. They provide real-world training in a working mosaic studio and on public art projects throughout the DC metro region.
The Opening Reception for the show will be on Sunday October 6 from 2 – 6 PM at 12115-G Parklawn Drive in Rockville, Maryland. We’d love to see you there

When most people think of the Mallow family – they think of hibicus blossoms. And I do love photographing hibiscuses. I also enjoyed photographing the flowering maple blossoms that I had no idea were members of the Mallow family. But when I looked at them – and thought about their structure and what hibiscus blossoms look like – I could see immediately how they fit into the same family. Here are a few photos of members of the Mallow family that I photographed at Longwood Gardens

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Detective Emily Water Lilies – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/detective-emily-water-lily/
When I saw this set of beautiful Detective Emily Water Lilies lined up, I knew I had to photograph them. As my eye went from one flower to the next, I loved the combination of bright purple and yellow contrasting with the greens in the lily pads.

Over the weekend, I spent some time at Longwood Gardens photographing some of the dahlias in the 2019 Greater Philadelphia Dahlia Society Show. As always, the flowers were amazing. Unfortunately conditions weren’t great at the show for photography this year – so I only have a few photos rather than usual several blog posts full of dahlia photos. I hope you seeing enjoy my photos from this year’s show.

I’ve recently added a new photograph – In the Meadow – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/in-the-meadow/
As I walked through one of my favorite meadows this summer, I was in awe of the waves of delicate whites and greens I saw. I’m not sure what the flowers are (other than they aren’t Queen Anne’s Lace). I hope my photo shares the sense of just being in a sea of white and green I experienced that day in the meadow.
