Lots of Daffs

Old Town has so much to offer and right now it happens to be flowers. Please take a moment to check out my daffodil picture.

Flower Abstract No.1

I am awful at thinking of good titles so I thought I would name this photo in a similar way that Stuart Davis named his painting that is hanging at the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. I took this photo on a bright sunny day in Old Town, Alexandria. Through dodging and burning the picture now shows the emotion and feeling that I find enjoyable in photography. I always love doing abstract photography.....au revoir!!!!

The Flower Show Begins

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Northern Virginia and the flowers were out. I went to Old Town and started taking pictures and got quite a few that I will be posting in the days to come. I am not sure of the name of these flowers but they grown on what I call a Tulip tree, I say this because the flowers look like Tulips. The back drop is Christ Church which I have photographed and posted here before. Looking forward to your comments--Dave

Spring Is Officially Here

I am posting another picture of flowers to celebrate the official arrival of spring. Of course this does not take the threat of snow away but we are putting some distance into the likelihood that it will snow. Enough talk of snow!!! Anyways happy spring to everyone!!!

Spring is Near

My significant other (Ann) wrote this poem that compliments my photograph:

Flower

I am

A flower

Opening each morning

To the promise of a new day,

My face

Always turning

Toward the sun.

Red Flowers

I am hoping to get out this weekend to photograph the outdoor aspect of Alexandria--you know buildings and people moving about. Until then I thought I would post a picture of these really beautiful red flowers. I used my camera phone and the light was pretty dim. I am pleased with the look and feel of this photograph but I am looking forward to hearing your opinions.
