Black & White Flowers
Every now and then I do a series of flowers in black and white. We always think COLOR when it comes to flowers, but black & white gives them a different dimension, with the plant's delightful texture and shape becoming more prominent. It's a chance to look at...
Solar Eclipse 2017
Today was the day! The 2017 solar eclipse that traveled across the USA. I enjoyed the event on the ground of the Delaware AeroSpace Education Foundation (DASEF) in Smyrna DE, along with a few thousand other folks. I wasn't able to find a screw-on filter for my camera...
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor
During one lovely October afternoon, I felt the need to get out and go somewhere different. So I took a drive up the Baltimore with the intent of visiting a museum. But it was so gorgeous out that I decided to skip the museum (after all, I can do that during yucky...
Nemours Mansion and Gardens
It was a beautiful September day and I took the day off to visit Nemours Mansion and Gardens in Wilmington, DE. This is a spectacular estate, part of the duPont empire that seems to permeate much of northern Delaware. You can find plenty of history and more...
Delaware’s Cypress Swamp

St. Johns Chapel Ruin Revisited
Last summer I took a trip to photograph an old Episcopal church ruin located alongside a quiet country road. It's name is St. John's Chapel, located just west of the town of Easton, MD. It's over the bridge on Unionville Road / Rt. 370, a smaller road that connects to...
Ebenezer Church & Cemetery
This past weekend we got a break from winter and had a lovely, sunny day. So I took advantage of it and took a drive around the Smyrna DE countryside to see what I might come across. What I stumbled upon was this wonderful abandoned church and cemetery. Directly...
My First Visit to Cape Henlopen
Though I'm sitting at home in the middle of a nasty snowstorm, I can't complain a whole lot since it's been a really mild winter up until only about a week or so ago. I was sitting on my porch in my jammies at Christmas, and was wonderfully comfortable. Even so, I'm...
