08.09.2020-2 A slight change in plans

Posted on August 9, 2020 by Steve Gingold

My trip to Moosehorn Pond was intentional and my plans there also although I was thinking of dragonflies which were not terribly abundant. The change is that I was going to do this as a “Silent Sunday” post but decided … Continue reading →

07.01.2020 White Water-lily Wednesday

Posted on July 1, 2020 by Steve Gingold

I love finding these floating on dark water. This was the only fully open one within “reach” (see below) this past Monday as it is still just a touch early. Some of the pink flowers are beginning to blossom too, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 5, 2020 by Steve Gingold

The full moon was hidden last night and remains so this morning so into the archives we dive. Still a bit early for our water lilies but they should be coming along soon. The past couple of months have been … Continue reading →

08.22.2019 I can’t stop with the water-lilies.

Posted on August 22, 2019 by Steve Gingold

They are irresistible, I think. And with many other things, are all just a bit different. I liked the subtle warm glow reflecting off the inner petals. This flower was absolutely gorgeous and deserving of a portrait. Both shots were … Continue reading →
