Many people think that the everyday life of a photographer is quite glamorous. The truth is that it is probably one of the loneliest hobbies. (Sounds like the job of a Maytag Repairman - old commercial). Very seldom do I take anyone with me when I am out taking photos. It is just easier that way. There have been times I have driven over 100 miles just to take a few pictures. Then there have been times I will drive quite a ways and come home empty handed. But then there are time I go a short distance and come home with 400 - 500 photos that I need to sort through. One of the most time consuming parts of photography is after the photos are taken and loaded on the computer. I don't spend a lot of time editing my photos. I try to edit at a minimum. It is always better to get them right the first time in the camera - if possible. It still may take me a couple of hours to edit my photos, depending on how many and how much they need to be edited. But usually it is worth it!!!! What an amazing God we have that created the lonely flower in all of it's beauty! The Lonely Flower waiting for the Lonely Photographer!
Below are a few flowers, mainly from the Spooner Research Garden. What is great about this flower garden is every time I go there I can shoot something new and unique.
