We went to Burnside Farms to see the spring tulips this past weekend. Although it was very windy, the flowers posed nicely. What amazes me is seeing the variety of tulips like these. Until visiting, I really didn't know this many varieties existed. I can't name them but I still appreciate their beauty.

A Study of Still Life...these photos were taken at MurLarkey Distilled Spirits last October. It was interesting to see the stills that make the craft whiskey and vodka made here. The staff love what they do and it gave great insight into what they do and their creations. Thank you to them for letting me take these photos.

Everything about this visit to MurLarkey was a study in "still life." It started with a tour of the stills, then a tasting of some of their finest whiskeys, during which I studies the stills some more with my camera. Honestly, the stills are intriguing to me. I like the industrial look of....

A Blue Morpho butterfly from Wings of Fancy (2016) at Brookside Gardens. It is a great chance to see species that are from other parts of the world.

It has been a while since I posted. There have been lots of photos taken but little time spent at the computer to look through them. Here is one from May of the historic Colvin Run Mill in Fairfax County. This mill still operates for demonstrations and you can buy products made in the mill at the General Store. It is a beautiful place to visit if you are in the area. Watch for more photos and even movies to come of the stones and features inside!

It has been a busy year so far and I have not been out to photograph anything as much as I would have liked. This past weekend I did go out to Burnside Farms to check out the tulips and daffodils. It was a warm day but beautiful scenes. The colors were incredible and we left with some of them to brighten up our home.

Despite being winter, we have had a few nice days to go out and wander the parks. While at Huntley Meadows, we watch many canadian geese takeoff and land in the water. They may be common, but that doesn't mean they aren't beautiful to watch. Here is one of the landing shots.

I visited Conowingo Dam (in Maryland near the Pennsylvania border) to see the eagles fishing. The dam was not running but we did see the eagles fishing and then chasing each other for their catch. It was interesting to watch. Here is one of the highlights. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jlyn_nature/30582728764/in/datetaken-public/

Meet Grimm, an Irish Wolfhound we met at the Beckett's Celtic Festival 2016 today in Shirlington, VA. Grimm is almost three years old, not quite full-grown, and stands over four feet (estimated) at his head. He was a sweetheart and posed for me at the event.
