Three Lilies

A trio of lilies on a warm, humid summer day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

A simple trio of lilies shot on a warm summer day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  It seems that I like to shoot these flowers on my birthday.  (See here.)  Lining our driveway on both sides, it is hard NOT to shoot them.

Three Oak Leaves

Three Oak Leaves

Now that October is upon us,  the leaves have started changing colors.  I found these three Oak leaves along a walkway in Riverside Park near my home.  While most of the leaves are still green in the area, you can see a hint of color hear and there.  Soon enough the parks, woods, and forests…… Continue reading Three Oak Leaves

These three tiny succulent (and plastic, I might add) potted plants sit in one of the two small windows that flank our fireplace in our apartment.   I love the way the sunlight streams through the glass in the late afternoon.  But try as I might, I have never been able to get a satisfactory…… Continue reading Three Succulent Plants
