Springtime At The Boston Public Garden

 Time is flying by these days. I've been slacking with my posting here on the blog, as I have some recent photos to share. Today I will share some photos taken last Sunday morning at the Boston Public Garden. We arrived on site around 4:55 am. Sunrise was at 5:21 am. It was a lovely morning!

The Swan boats in the Lagoon by the Lagoon Bridge:

I was happy that many of the tulip beds were still blooming. Here's the infamous George Washington Statue:

Morning Sprinklers at work after sunrise:

A few shots taken from the other side of the lagoon:

I was very happy to be able to do this photo trip. I walked in pretty well, but was really hurting and limping on the way out. It was worth the pain, and woke up the next morning feeling much better! I  have to "just keep swimming." :-)

Red Winged Blackbirds

 I found a lot of Red Winged Blackbird action at Jenney Pond in Plymouth MA one evening last week. The late day light was phenomenal.

Another shot of the nesting Female. She is so sweet.

I hope you are enjoying the season of Spring in your necks of the woods,

Halifax MA Springtime

 Each time I've passed by the Halifax Congregational Church and Town Hall, I've always made a mental note that I should stop there some time with my camera. The other day I was home thinking about somewhere to go to take some Spring photos and I remembered this location.

I first went around back where there is a beautiful old cemetery. 

 With the 11-16 mm wide lens on my camera, I got down as low as possible (actually positioned my camera on my sneaker) to get the dandelions in the forefront of this shot.

I then went out front and shot this one from the same low perspective. I wanted to give the dandelions some prominence in the scene, as I wanted to capture the feeling of Springtime.

And one more low perspective 

Here is the town hall which is adjacent to the church

Hoping to get out this weekend with my camera to capture some more Spring photos of New England. I hope you enjoy your weekend as well!
