Time is Fleeting

It’s been a little while since I broke out the macro lens and captured some flower macros. A number of different flowers are in bloom right now in my wife’s flower beds and at the neighbors.

Budding from a higher angle
When I first started taking some flower photos, I had it in my mind I needed to wait for them to be fully open to capture a worthwhile image.  That view has definitely change!  Though you tend to get more splendor in colors with a full flower, I find I really [...]

As I Gaze Into Your Eyes

This particular flower, the Stargazer Lilly, always holds special attention for me because it is my sweethearts favorite flower.  Not only is it a beautiful flower, but the fragrance is incredible.

This particular flower sits in the gardens just across the street from the SF Museum of Modern Art.

Everything’s Coming Up Roses

This morning I spent a wonderful morning walking through Shoreline Park with my bride of 14 years. I say my bride specifically in this occasion because this is where we had our wedding reception.
