It is amazing what a smartphone is capable of. No post editing or processing by me. This is just how my Samsung Galaxy S8+ captured it.

forgotten garden bench

April 6, 2022April 6, 2022Chris and Carol 2 Comments

Actually not forgotten just covered up by maidenhair ferns. I built this bench about 25 years ago when the gardens were still ‘new’.

This is what’s on the other side of the black metal fence. A natural bog and at times small creeklet.

Camera – Samsung Galaxy S8+

Thanks for stopping by! Do you have a spot to sit and relax in your garden? – Chris

autumn blaze

November 16, 2021November 16, 2021Chris and Carol 2 Comments

Bald cypress dressed in its best fall fashion (North Florida).

My favorite tree in my yard – I have about fifty of which I planted around fifteen or so. The remainder are “babies” from the original two trees that I planted back in 1991. The bald cypress is a member of the redwood family and some call these trees Eastern redwoods.

Camera and lens – Canon EOS 7D with Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM zoom lens.

The top of the tree just before the last light of the day. The cones are clearly visible.

Camera and lens – Fujifilm FinePix S9900W with Fujinon 50x 4.3-215mm f/2.9 zoom lens.

This is about the best color my yard will see this autumn. The things that look like balls are actually cones or seed pods that the male bald cypress produces throughout the growing season. They are about the size of a golf ball and just about as heavy. Thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Hong Kong streets – 1979

August 10, 2021August 10, 2021Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Both of these images were captured with my Canon F-1 on Kodak Kodachrome slide film – handheld at 2-3 seconds. The colors are not the best but sometimes Kodachrome behaves badly at night at long exposures (well, that’s my excuse anyway). I don’t remember where in Hong Kong these were taken except the second image must have been near Fleet Landing if I recall correctly.
