Some people like to walk in the rain but the passionate photographer is out looking for a good photo.  Tropical Storm Andrea hit Maryland last last night and it’s still raining and supposed to rain until late tonight.  We went to our usual Friday night wine and cheese tasting and then were heading out to dinner in Annapolis but traffic was at a standstill so we headed home.  After I grabbed a bite to eat headed out to the yard.  The lilies just started to bloom a couple of days ago and a couple of them are in full bloom.  It was hard to decide which pictures I liked the most.  Guess that means I am improving.

Another beautiful day today.  Went for a walk before supper tonight.  Decided to walk to another one of the beaches in the neighborhood.  On the way there I noticed these flowers in a neighbor’s yard.  I have never seen anything like them.  Does anyone know what they are.  Took several pictures and could not decide which one I liked the best.

Rainy day today.  After work, I made it to the garage before it started raining.  On the way home the skies opened up – had to slow down and put the wipers on high.  When I got home had to make a mad dash from the car to the house.  After supper, headed outside to see if I could find any flowers that still had some raindrops on them.

How can this be the end of May.  Where has the time gone.  I did not intend to post another flower picture today.  Traffic was a mess coming home tonight so decided to go the back way.  I had to stop for a red light and noticed a lot of unique things in front of an antique store.   I made a quick left hand turn and ended up parking by the small park in town.  When I got out of the car some flowers caught my eye and I walked inside the gardens.  Did not realize that there was a small pond and a little waterfall.  Took a bunch of shots but was not happy with them.  Lighting was not right – will have to stop by another day at a different time of day.  Then I noticed this tree and since I am trying to use the camera in manual mode and working on depth of field I took a bunch of pictures.  Could not decide which one of these two I liked the best.  Your thoughts.
