Everything’s Coming Up Roses
The roses are blooming at all the local gardens and I’m loving seeing and photographing them. Since I can’t bring all of you with me to the gardens to see the wonderful blossoms, I’m making several of my favorite rose photos available at a special price for just a few...
Street Art in Brooklyn
I spent a few days in New York City last week - saw a few art exhibits, visited a botanical garden, met up with a couple of friends, and had a wonderful time just walking around photographing. When I'm in DC, I'm always a little nervous walking around pointing my...
New Photo: Live Oaks with Spanish Moss
I’ve recently added a new photo – Live Oaks with Spanish Moss – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website. OK - so it's a landscape photo not a flower photo! I've really been enjoying the more traditional landscape photography I've been doing lately and when...
Wrought Iron Work in Savannah, Georgia
I thought I'd share a few more photos from the wonderful afternoon I spent wandering around the historic district in Savannah, Georgia a few months ago. Rather than carrying all my camera gear and my tripod, I just went out with one lens on my camera, no tripod and...
Wonderful Pink Lilies
Looks like I've got several photos of Pink Lilies that I haven't shared yet - not much to say - other than enjoy these wonderful pink lilies 🙂 Stargazer Lilies Lodi Lilies And some wonderful pink lilies surrounded by black-eyed Susans

In the Studio: A Few More Irises
I found the rest of my set of photos of irises that I took in January. I shared the first set of photos - the ones taken against the black background - some time ago. Finally - here's the rest of the set photographed against a white backdrop. With this set - I started...
New Photo: Lavender Parrot Tulip
I’ve recently added a new photo – Lavender Parrot Tulip – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website. As I've been photographing tulips in recent years, I've really fallen in love with the Parrot Tulips. Every one I've seen and photographed has not only had wonderfully...
What a Difference an F-Stop Makes
I recently got an email from a novice photographer commenting on how they liked that in some of my photos just one flower is in focus - and in others - everything is in focus. And they wanted to know how I got my photos to look like that. Did they need Photoshop or...
A Few Spring Peonies
One of the wonderful types of flowers that bloom in the DC area in the spring are peonies. And no matter how much I've tried - in the past I've never really managed to get peony photos that I've been happy with. The blossoms are so easily affected by rain and heat...
