A Few Pink & White Tulips
2016 seems to be one of those years where the tulips in the DC area are amazing - OK they're wonderful every year - and this year they seem even a little more spectacular than usual. I've photographed all sorts of wonderful tulips recently - so I thought I'd share...
New Photo: Sunset at Assateague Light
I’ve recently added a new photo – Sunset at Assateague Light – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website. I love visiting Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and the Assateague National Seashore - especially during the winter. I've photographed...
A Few More Thoughts About Copyright
I didn't expect to be writing about copyright issues again so soon - but after I shared my article Be Careful When Using Photos in the Public Domain – They Might Not Be! I got so many questions and comments that I thought I'd answer the most frequently asked questions...
Spring Morning at Brookside Gardens
In mid-April I spent a few hours one morning photographing at Brookside Gardens - one of my favorite local botanical gardens. Every spring, hundreds of daffodils and tulips bloom at Brookside - and this year was no different. Here are a few of the daffodils and tulips...
A Few More Spring Wildflowers
In early April I was able to return to a couple of my favorite local spots to photograph wildflowers. We'd had some pretty bad weather - cold, rain, wind and even a few snow squalls - so I wasn't sure what I'd fine. I was really happy to see the even with all the...

Be Careful When Using Photos in the Public Domain – They Might Not Be!
This blog post is going to be a little different - rather that sharing my photos or tips to help you take better photos, I’m writing about copyright infringement and a disturbing new trend I’m seeing where people who are trying to do the right thing when it comes to...
Cemetery at the Unitarian Church in Charleston, South Carolina
In a little more than a year, I've made several trips to South Carolina and Georgia as I planned for my Springtime in the South photo tour. One of the places I found myself returning to again and again with the cemetery at the Unitarian Church in Charleston. There was...
Spray Carnations
A couple weeks ago I shared several photos of some Antigua Carnations that I had photographed in my studio. In that post, I mentioned that I’d photographed more sets of carnations and just needed to some editing to be able to share them with you. So as promised –...
