Man reading newspaper at a tea party

June 29, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I’ve been featuring a lot of nature photos lately so this time I opted to focus on my other favorite themes:  dessert and miniatures.  The photo was taken last year at a tea party with some friends.  I usually carry … Continue reading Man reading newspaper at a tea party

A Fresh Perspective of Eisenhower State Park

June 28, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

Taking photos at clever angles can be deceiving and can offer interesting perspective.  I was standing at the bottom of a boulder when I took this photo at Eisenhower State Park.  The boulder wasn’t that huge but from the photo … Continue reading A Fresh Perspective of Eisenhower State Park

Lots-o-‘shrooms

June 13, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I recently visited my all-time favorite park:  the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge.  It never disappoints – there is the element of controlled danger – from ticks… to snakes… and the opportunity to get stuck on a trail.  This time, … Continue reading Lots-o-‘shrooms

Firefly!

June 6, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

Today’s very unusual tripod challenge:  photograph fireflies.  My friend and I have discovered a spot where fireflies are plentiful… if you get there at just the right hour.  We got there with our equipment at the wrong hour.  There were … Continue reading Firefly!

Flowers, Pink

Hydrangea

June 4, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I purchased this hydrangea years ago.  It, as well as my passion flower vine, are the most expensive plants I’ve purchased for the garden. But as the photos hopefully display, it’s such a dramatic and beautiful plant.   Camera:  Canon … Continue reading Hydrangea

Preface A few years ago I took a Dale Carnegie course.  One of my favorite lessons I learned from the instructor is:  “if you lived it you have the right to tell the story.”  So that is what I am … Continue reading May 29, 2015. Part 3 of 3.
