Flowers in the rain at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden Good Friday and Saturday morning was a rainy time in Richmond, Virginia on our recent visit. Fortunately, the rain did stop for our Saturday visit to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Cloudy days are good for taking flower photographs and many flowers look pretty good when enhanced by rain drops. So, don't let a little bad weather deter you from visiting flower gardens to enjoy the colors of spring. Always have your camera in hand to capture those special moments. Some photographers recommend having a water spray bottle as part of your equipment when taking flower pictures. I have never done that but it is not a bad idea. If you have photographs from your special places, please share them in the comments for this post. Dolores and Ro...

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden When Dolores and I visit Richmond, Virginia, we are usually there to see exhibits at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.  On Good Friday, we toured the Picasso exhibit  Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris and other special exhibits at VMFA. On Saturday, we went to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden to see the orchid exhibit and tour the gardens. http://www.lewisginter.org/  "Tulips are still star of the show in April and more than 11,000 are featured. These include 3,000 inside the Conservatory, 2,000 in outdoor containers and 6,000 in ground displays. Companions to the tulips are tens of thousands of daffodils." We highly recommend both of these destinations when you are in the Richmond area. Dolores and Roy Kelley visited the Lewis G...

Spring at Brookside Gardens One of the primary reasons for living in Montgomery County, Maryland is the outstanding quality of life that is available in the area. One of our favorite places to visit is Brookside Gardens in the Wheaton Regional Park.

Daffodils are blooming for home buyers in Montgomery County Blooming daffodils celebrate the beginning of the spring residential market. Home sellers are fixing up their homes to be listed for sale.

 Kentlands Grey Squirrels Grey Squirrels represent a large percentage of our furry neighbors in Kentlands. They appear to be very heathy this spring as they raid the bird feeders and enjoy the wooded sections of the community. If you have pictures of some of your furry neighbors, please share them in the comments for this post. Wednesday, April 20, 2011, walk through Kentlands. Seeking the colors of spring.

 Kentlands Robin My friends in the ActiveRain Birds Group asked me for bird pictures. The problem is that I usually focus on flower photographs. When I was out for my Sunday walk through Kentlands, I was seeking the early spring flowers. This robin happened to be posing for me in a sunny spot and I was able to capture this snapshot.
