Kentlands Photowalk:  Maryland Summer Flowers   An early morning walk is a good habit for almost everybody.  Add a camera and you have a photowalk.  Get some exercise for good physical health and take some photographs for good mental health.  When you focus your attention on a pretty flower or plant, it is easy to set aside the problems of the moment.   I enjoy photowalking through Kentlands and Lakelands in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  These communities are among the favorites for families that are relocated to the metropolitan area of Washington, DC.  Yes, we do sell homes in these areas.   A comfortable pair of walking shoes is necessary equipment but the exercise is free and the flowers do not charge to have their pictures taken.

Kentlands Rainy Day Flowers:  Gaithersburg Photowalk   We had a rainy day in Kentlands, in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  I had to cut short my morning walk as a thunderstorm passed by.  I carry a plastic bag for my camera for those occasions. (Tip:  All you need is one of the plastic bags that they use for newspapers and it will fit in a back pocket). For those that enjoy photowalking walking after the rain has passed can be a good idea.  Some of the flowers look good with the droplets of water.  Some photographers are know to carry a water spray bottle with them on nice days but I do not want the extra weight. These are a few Kentlands rainy day flower photographs.  Always have your camera in hand to capture the moments that you will want to share. Daylily, Kentlands, Flowers IMG_3026 Dayli...

Kentlands Flower Photographs Are Good For Your Imagination Take Care When Editing Marketing Photographs   Those of us in real estate are sometimes surprised to see that the property does not look like the photographs in the marketing materials.  Almost every photograph can be improved by editing.  All of us need to be careful not to go beyond the editing that will just make it a better photograph.  Marketing photographs should show the property in the best possible light.   Save the extreme editing for your personal photographs that are simply for personal pleasure.  I have fun with some of my flower photographs and will share a few from our Imagination series.  These are not the actual colors of the flowers.   Have a great week with your camera in hand.  And, be sure to edit every phot...
