All of these roses were taken with my Sony DSC-f717, before I bought the Rebel dSLR. The photos are all from the Owens Memorial Gardens in Eugene. There are public rose gardens all over the country, (in the US.) If there is one near enough for you to visit as a day trip, I certainly […]
My Own Little Peace Of Paradise It’s pretty difficult to get any kind of garden growing in a yard that’s home to two big dogs, so my husband and I decided to convert about a third of the front yard into our garden. The motivation was, actually, to get a tree in the front to […]
I have a passion for landscape photography. I don’t particularly like camping or hiking, yet I’d pack up and spend a weekend in the wild any time, as long as I can take my camera gear along. So imagine my surprise when I discovered I had knack for photographing flowers. I still love going out […]
My Sony Cybershot Turned out to be a very good camera for closeup shots of roses and other flowers, with macro capability at the press of a button.

Click Here to Watch The Video: “Raw Video Of The Tornado That Hit Joplin Missouri” Nature has not been kind to the eastern half of the United States this year. Severe weather has caused massive flooding, extensive property damage and a staggering death toll. We’ve all seen the images of the aftermath: the indescribable scenes […]
Click Here to Watch The Video: “Unlikely Friends, The Cat And The Dolphins” I found this video when it first went up on Youtube, and bookmarked it to add here the following day. But when the next day came, the video had been pulled due to copyright issues. When I found the current listing, I […]
Angels We Have Heard On High I thought I’d share some of the photos I’ve taken of my Christmas Angels. After all, Christmas will be here before you know it, or at least before you’re ready. The truth is out. I like to collect things. And among the things I like to collect are Christmas […]
