Southern Drought No News Wants to Cover :: Friday Feet
We have been in this drought for some time now, it seems like years, because it has been. For about the last 5 years or so we just have not had any steady rain at all. The best evidence of the drought, at least on our property, is our pond. This is basically a 2…

Saturday Morning Macro Flowers Before the Heat Arrives
I think I spent an hour or longer last night looking for a single wildflower to shoot and found nothing.

Backyard Photo Walk with a 35mm Bokeh Lens
I love doing the back yard photo walk, mainly because you really don’t have to go anywhere to shoot. Every time you go out in your yard you will be surprised at how many new things there are to shoot each time you try it. It doesn’t seem that way at first, especially since you…

Purple Wisteria Blooms are Everywhere in Auburn :: Photos
I love Wisteria Blooms in the Spring. They grow like weeds down here in the south but we actually planted one a few years ago. It has grown into this huge vine that wants to eat the house, but right now, it is totally covered in beautiful purple blooms and smells incredible. Every year I…

Southern Magnolia sieboldii Blooms in Early Spring
We have a tiny little Magnolia tree we planted about 3-4 years ago and all it does is bloom like crazy about this time of year. It never seems to grow or put out many leaves but the blooms are very pretty. It’s not the traditional Magnolia tree with the big waxy leaves, I’m pretty…
