Spring Is in the Air

Oh yes, spring is definitely in the air down here. Pollen’s yellow pixie dust is everywhere. So what’s spring like? Actually almost invisible. Scattered swamp maples flush purple. The occasional Redbud is in bloom. Regular deciduous trees have yet to start up again. A person has to go looking for spring and so we did. […]

Quiet Afternoon

Looks like a quiet summer afternoon with clouds maybe building up for an afternoon shower. Yes it is January but not by outward appearances or temperature. Tan marsh grasses and a creek with buffleheads, mergansers, wood ducks, and loons pleasantly tells us it is winter fishing season for birds. The afternoon has its own little […]

2012.  Who’d a thunk it?  I can remember when 1958 was far out into the future…that’s when I’d graduate from high school.  And it came and I did. And now here we are…

Morning Mists

A quiet morning in the mountains. Nice theme for a new year if we allow images to have suggestive powers. Perhaps I remain influenced by my brief time in Japan.

Remnants of 2011

We do love our life cycles particularly those we conjure up out of nowhere. What’s so special about resetting a calendar? Does it have more import than the sun bouncing off the bottom a couple days ago or than messing with clocks and our biorhythms back early November? Not at all but we insist on […]

December 18,2011

Ho ho ho!  Three weeks just slid by when I wasn’t looking, and here we are at the jolly holiday season.  Once again, I’m playing catch up.  So here are the highlights of the recent past.
At the southern end of Georgia we o…

Things Fall Apart

Things fall apart; they wear out. We don’t like it when boat systems or car systems or household systems fail. Frustrated? Tired of a new problem all too often? Grab a camera or hang out with your favorite photographer. Deterioration, decay, rust, mold represent – photographic opportunities and challenges. The Folly Beach city manager may […]
