Photographic Evidence – Golf Ball-sized Hail!

At around six o’clock today it started to sound like someone was throwing rocks at the house. I looked outside and saw hailstones crushing everything in sight. I decided to take a prisoner.

Note: Actual golf balls were not falling from the sky. Just hail.

Dragonfly

I have a friend that took me over to Barnsley Gardens this weekend. What a gorgeous place! I took lots of pictures, but this one was my favorite.

Tybee Island

We got to spend a little time at Tybee yesterday. It’s grown up a lot since I moved from that area.

Wormsloe Plantation – Savannah

I’m in Savannah for a few days, and I managed to get out to the entrance of Wormsloe Plantation. It was closed, but I still got a couple of decent shots through the gate.

Lantern Flowers

My landlady has a gas lantern next to the driveway. It has this flower vine that is wrapped around it. It blooms a couple of times a year, but this spring it is really showing off. I don’t know what the name of it is, but I call it the Lantern Flowers.

Spring, Spring, Spring!

I went to Alabama today and took my new camera into the national forest. Lots of things to photograph there, and I’m still learning how to use this camera. I’ve got another lens on the way now because it was out of stock when I ordered my camera. This lens is a little bit soft, but that’s ok as it has been a learning experience for me. I have developed more enjoyment out of just photographing things. I’ve learned to listen when I’m outside to hear what’s going on around me in addition to seeing it. I found what I think is the Brown Thrasher, the Georgia state bird if I’m not mistaken, over in Alabama. Maybe that will let me “break the rules” a little bit here!

Flowers

I love flowers, and I love to photograph them. These flowers belong to a friend who had invited me over to take some pictures.

Something Old, Something New

Now I’m like Stephen. I got a new camera–the Canon Rebel XTi. I absolutely love it. Have no idea how to use it yet. I’m still waiting on one of my lenses to arrive, but in the meantime a friend let me borrow one of hers. I snapped over 400 pictures this evening, and here are a few. You can enjoy the rest of them on my flickr page.
