It’s beginning to feel — and look — like Autumn up here on the Plateau.  The temperatures are cooler during the days and especially at night.  Hopefully as we move more into October we will see more color on the mountain sides.  This picture was taken in early October several years ago on Black Mountain, which is near our home.

Flamenco Rose

One of the newer roses in our yard is Flamenco.   It’s a bright beautiful rose which is always a joy to see in bloom.  This picture was actually taken last year, but I like it so much that I couldn’t resist using it.

Harrods Department Store, London

Harrods Department Store is a London landmark.  The store, often called “The World’s Leading Luxury Department Store”, is in a building which is imposing both day and night.  We explored the first floor of Harrods when we visited our daughter who was studying in London for a semester during her college career.

I got this picture, taken as a slide in 1993, when we walked past Harrods one evening at dusk.  Recently I scanned the slide and cleaned up the image.  This is the result, which I think makes a pretty picture.

Dawn's Early Light

When Betsy and I are at Mt. Nebo in Arkansas, we get up before dawn so we can see sights like this.  This picture was taken from Sunrise Point on the mountain looking down into the Arkansas River valley below.  What a way to start the day!  February 12, 2013.

An Experiment in Night Photography

Several years ago, while visiting Mt. Nebo State Park in Arkansas, I experimented with night photography by taking pictures from our cabin on top of the mountain of the valley below.  This is one of the results of my experiment.

My Beautiful Bride and I ave learned over the years at the beach that each sunrise has its own unique beauty.  This image was captured at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, in December 2019.

Although its been a couple of years since we’ve been to Mt. Nebo State Park in Arkansas, this photo gives you a pretty good idea why this ranks as one of our favorite places to visit.  The photo was taken behind ‘our’ cabin in the park as the sun was setting.  It’s a breath-taking sight.
