June irises

A year or two ago, I joined a local photography group.  I was really hoping to make friends, and have a group to learn with, as I've had with my knitting group.  Photography is not quite the social setting, though.  What I have gotten out of it is a never-ending list of local places for photo-ops!  

Recently, one of the members shared a local iris farm, and several members spent a morning taking pictures there.  Unfortunately, the excessive rain we've had this spring meant that the irises were not in full bloom as expected, but it was still an interesting find.  The owners live on sight and also have a beautiful little spot of "red" poppies.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day...  






Maybe you can spot one of the challenges of this type of group?  



And lastly, a shot from their vehicle graveyard, in case flowers aren't your thing:

It's always nice to find new places in one's neck of the woods.  What about you, what have you discovered, lately?

    I'm always amazed at the variety of things you dive into! My mother never liked irises - she thought of them as weeds. But I wish she could see your gorgeous pictures! Looks like you and your fellow photographers had quite an outing!! : )

    Beautiful Karen -- I especially love the bike and truck pictures! (Not that I don't love flowers, but, you know ...) I think a photo group would be SO fun!

    Was your photography club also a teaching club? I would love to be a part of a photography club that led me through learning more about taking better photos. Your photos are interesting in their simplicity and beauty. I really love seeing such photos.
    Thank you for your comments. I am trying to get back to blogging and to have comments is super encouraging! I did leave a comment about the hammock(Eno) on my blog. I never know where to leave answers to questions, even though I love answering questions!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
