Tall Bearded Iris Ziggy and Van Work
When I posted the blooms from our Tall Bearded Iris Immortality a few weeks ago I thought that was going to be the very last bloom of the summer-fall season, until a few days ago. We had a super surprise bloom of our Tall Bearded Iris called Ziggy, and it went bonkers. The temps in…

Tall Bearded Iris Immortality
We had one more flower blooming hurrah for the end of summer, the all white bloom of the Tall Bearded Iris variety called Immortality. As I mentioned in a previous post when we had a Surprise Late-Blooming Light Purple Iris we could have one more bulb bloom this fall, a pure white bulb, and this…

Taking Photos of Birds in Flight
I love watching birds flying through the sky, floating on the air currents. One of the most common sites in our area are the Turkey Vultures riding the thermals above where the student pilots fly their Cessna trainers. These huge birds sometimes gather in such great numbers they look like they are flying in formation,…

Cotton Rose Ends Our Summer Blooms
Today is Monday, so I went out and shot some Macro Monday blooms for this weekly series post. All of the images below were taken this morning (October 6th) using a macro setup, my Nikon D850 and the 105mm macro lens. Only the second shot below is actually a true macro image though. The blooms…

Surprise Late-Blooming Light Purple Iris
This year has been, for us anyway, all about the Iris Bulb garden. We built a massive set of garden beds this summer, see Making 40 Raised Beds for Fall Iris Bulbs and Progress Update on Raised Iris Bed Construction if you are interested in some garden box building insanity. This was all for a…

The Murals in Bonifay Florida
Last weekend we took a spur of the moment drive down to Pensacola and across the coastline to get some sea air in our lungs. We went a different way than we normally go, off the freeway. This took us through Eufaula and little towns like Bonifay Florida. We will have a full post with…

Purple Banana Flowers Blooming
One of our latest blooming plants revealed their gigantic purples flowers this week. We have a few banana plants around the garden and they don’t always bloom. I didn’t think they were actually going to bloom this year at all since we moved them last year, and then they didn’t start growing leaves until really…

Auburn Football Dinner Kickoff
In a previous post, Monochrome Monday Stadium Version I had talked about how this year during the sports season I was determined to haul my camera around with me and document the event. Sometimes that is more difficult than it sounds, especially in Atlanta at places like State Farm Arena (see Navigating Atlanta to State…

Monochrome Monday Driving Rain
It’s Monday again and I’m trying to continue the practice on monochrome images in my Weekly Series called Monochrome Monday with some photos I took over the weekend during a late afternoon thunderstorm. Fog and rain are two of my favorite times to take photos. I love capturing an image that has something in it…
