Welcome back for another week of photo a day wrap-up. We drove home on Sunday from my daughter's house. Part of the trip was through Pennsylvania.
Day 83-
I went to college in Pennsylvania, and seeing horse and buggies was commonplace. As we drove along the turnpike we saw one riding along the parallel road to the highway. It was a pretty horse and its gait was fun to watch.

Day 84-
Once we arrived back in South Carolina it was apparent that pollen season had exploded in our area. We had some rain and the yellow pollen of the pine trees cascaded down the driveway, forming some nice patterns.

Several years ago, I had a lot of Muscari armeniacum, Grape Hyacinths growing along the driveway. Some volunteers appear along the other side of the driveway. I enjoy seeing them pop up wherever they want.

I bought some new shoes and didn't toss the shoe box right away. Seems it is a good fit for Millie. I still haven't thrown it away as she still gets in it a couple times a day.

Day 87-
I like how quiet the lake is, especially at dusk with the pink skies. We have very little boat traffic at our end of the lake, especially in the winter/spring. I probably should have waited a little longer to get a photo as the skies got redder and more vibrant.

Day 88-
This time of year, it is really hard not to take lots and lots of photos of the newly emerging leaves for this challenge. I am trying to vary my photos so they are not all garden photos. This is a Netted Chain Fern, Woodwardia areolata. I brought these ferns to South Carolina when we moved from Virginia. I love their bronze foliage as they emerge.

Some springs I think my garden is color coded. First comes the yellow blooms, mostly in daffodils and Edgeworthia. Pinks emerge in my flowering Crabapple and Redbuds. Now I have lots of white and green. Pictured is Spirea x vanhouttei and behind it is another flowering Crabapple, Malus x zumi 'Golden Hornet'. Also blooming in my white and green theme are a couple different Viburnum and Dogwoods, Cornus florida.

This photo a day challenge isn't as easy as it would seem. Like I have said before, these are all new photos. My photo library is quite large, and I could easily dive in and get old pictures, but scouring my surroundings for an interesting photo adds to the fun.
I was just admiring the enthusiasm of my muscari today! But I haven’t yet figured out the best way to photograph them.
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, it isn't easy to get a good photo of the Muscari! Best bet is to get down on the ground (or at least put your camera on the ground) and try to focus on the bloom. I learned a trick where you turn your cellphone upside down and get the photo where your lens is even lower.
