Before I get to this week’s newsletter, I wanted to share some exciting news about an upcoming show of my photographs. I’ll have several photographs in a group show “La Primavera” at the Meeting House Gallery in Columbia, Maryland. The show will be on display from May 5 – July 28. The opening reception will be Sunday May 6 from 12:30 – 2:30 pm. I’ll be sharing more information about the show as it gets closer.
And now for this week’s newsletter . . .
I’ve just returned from a wonderful photography trip to the Atlanta area. I spent several days photographing flowers at local gardens and I thought I’d share a few of the photos with you today.
I photographed azaleas and spring wildflowers at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain

The next day, I photographed some wonderful daffodils at Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground before photographing their wonderful Japanese garden.
