The Victory Column at sunset in city of Berlin in Germany. Inside the column are stairs leading to the top with viewing platform and gilded statue of Victoria (designed by Friedrich Drake), the Roman goddess of victory. The Victory Column was designed by Heinrich Strack and finished in 1873. It's located in the center of Tiergarten Park and offers great views over the park and the capital city.

A tranquil scene of a sailboat anchored on an inland waterway at dusk with a flock of geese flying overhead. There is something so peaceful about being on or near the water at sunrise or sunset and being in touch with nature.

This is light painting with the Christmas lights I have on our house. I went outside in the dark and shot a slow shutter speed as I moved my camera around, to capture the colorful light in the dark, to make colorful energetic abstracts. Today I manipulated this image with slightly distorted shapes in a mild circular pattern for a gentle energetic mood.

Home Is Where My Dog Is........Happy New Year Everyone, may it be full of Laughter, Love and Good Health!

All kinds of colors of Iris flowers bloom in Spring and this one from a neighbor’s garden is a pretty color tone of purple and lavender. I think these flowers are so pretty and they are easy and hardy flowers to grow. I edited this image with a watercolor style and effect.

My first photograph in 2023 of a lone Sycamore Tree

A January sunrise on a particularly cold with a lenticular cloud over Mount Hood reflecting in a small pond in a snow-covered forest near Government Camp, Oregon.

This pretty Cornflower, also called a bachelor’s button, was blooming in beautiful periwinkle blue and purple tones. I photographed this macro extreme close up to show the detail of the center of the flower.

Brush Fork Road in the Autumn

Guilford, Indiana

A country road in peak foliage along Brush Fork Road. A dry Brush Fork Creek can be seen on the left. Trees on both side of the road form a canopy over the road for a enjoyable autumn excursion into rural Indiana.

"Female Cardinal Perched" by Patti Deters. This beautiful female Cardinal (cardinalis cardinalis) is seen perched on an arborvitae branch with morning sun lighting her and making her glow. Cardinals are common backyard birds in Minnesota but are still always fun to see close-up. The muted tan, rust, and brown colors of the female with her crest and black face mask make her just as striking and pretty as the red male.

Large spring Tulips are the first to bloom as everything is awakening from the cold New England winter. These Tulips are so large that when fully in bloom the long stems cannot hold them fully upright and they droop down to the ground.

Description - On freezing cold January morning in the mountains of New Hampshire the snow covered trees and ground are coated with a sheet of ice. As the sun rises and shines brightly down on the frozen landscape, the trees sparkle creating a beautiful winter wonderland scene.

DescriptionAs the New England weather gets warmer, the trees and flowers all around start to awaken from their winters naps. The flowering crabapple tree is always one of the first bloom I see in our small neighborhood in a town south of Boston Massachusetts. These small vibrant pink flowers bloom and give way to beautiful green leaves.

DescriptionA late August summer, on an early morning walk, the thick fog begins to recede revealing the row of beach cottages on Turo’s coast and their colorful Adirondack chairs. The crescent shaped bay still hidden by the fog. The Days Cottages are also known as the ‘Flower Cottages’ because each is named after a specific flower. These historic cottages proudly wear their flower name on the iconic green and white wooden signs.
The 2023 season will mark ninety years since cottages 1-4 and 15-23 were built and began serving their hundreds of guests.

Cadaques Bay Painting

I spotted a large bird from my kitchen window. I grabbed my camera and put on my longest lens. I took some shots thinking it was an owl of some type but when I looked at it on my PC, it looked more like an osprey or hawk.
