A Walk in the Woods

Art!Loafing

Stream in Rutherford Park. 1/6 second. I’m not steady enough for that slow a speed, so too blurry.

I see I haven’t updated this thing since Christmas. I’m the worst. Sorry.

Sitting around the house in quarantine all day gets boring pretty quick. So, I grabbed my old Panasonic Lumix camera (thanks, Brenda!), and went for a walk along the stream behind our house. Nothing much to see, but it was a beautiful day, so I took a few pics. Also took a few pics of the flowers around the house before they all fall off. Love spring in Virginia. To see the pics, mouse over the first pic and when the cursor turns into a finger click on it, then click on the right arrow to go through them.

Wildflowers along the path. This looked a lot better walking by. You should have been there. Sorry

Rutherford Stream — Part of the stream in the park behind our house. I used a slow shutter speed, but turns out I’m not steady enough for that, so it’s a bit blurry

Fallen tree — I’ve had my eye on this tree for years waiting for it to fall. The wait is over!

Rotting log — It’s a rotting log. It’s ART, dammit!

Wisteria — This is the wisteria Brian bought his mom many years ago. It was all overgrown, so I cut it all back last year, and it’s looking pretty nice now!

Peonies — These peonies look better every year.

Pink roses — A very old pink rosebush in the front yard

red roses — I planted these about 3-4 years ago and they have taken off. I don’t know the variety, but they never get the diseases the other roses get. I think they’re from Costco

Amanda’s Fairy Garden

Art!Family

Well, Amanda has been busy. We now have a fairy garden in the front yard. It looks pretty cool, in a Pinterest kind of way. But I got up this morning and the bridge and a few buildings were were overturned. I think I saw some chipmunks running from the crime scene wearing “Resist!” t-shirts. But I may be wrong. Here’s a few pics of this new land. Click the first one to embiggen, then click on the right side of the picture to run through them.

Walking Arty Through the Woods

It’s a beautiful winter day here in Northern Virginia. When I woke up this morning, there was about an inch of snow covering everything, but when I finally got around to walking Amanda’s dog Artemis, most of the snow had melted. I took a few pictures with my Panasonic Lumix point-and-shoot camera with it’s Leica (branded) lens. I often forget how beautiful NoVa can be. Here are a few pics. Click the first one to embiggen, then click on the right side of the picture to run through them.
