Cape Town at Sunset

Alright, on to the cities! I've commented many times that I'm not a wildlife photographer (but you can't come back from Africa without pictures of animals... right?), so I'm happy to be back in my comfort zone this week with landscapes and cityscapes, and in Cape...

Meeting the Cheetahs at Ashia Cheetah Sanctuary

For those of you that know Holly and I personally, you'll know we're cat people. We love cats, watch cat videos, have a pet cat... Holly even made me cat pajama pants (I should have stopped short of that one, huh?) last year as a joke, and I wore them till they fell...

The Elephant and the Lions

Last week's image and this week's images were all taken at the Aquila Private Game Reserve, which Holly and I visited back in April. I ended up with multiple images from there that I wanted to share, but rather than drag out South Africa for basically the rest of the...

Heading Home at the End of the Day

I think I've mentioned maybe a thousand times on this blog that I'm not a wildlife photographer. I just don't have the glass for it, and I've never taken the time to learn the habits of animals so that I could get images of them that were amazing. That's sort of the...

Penguins of South Africa

AFRICA!! The wait is finally over! 🙂 I'm thrilled to be finally starting my series on South Africa, and I wanted to start with what I thought people would expect - animal photos - but perhaps not the animals you would initially think of. South Africa is full of...

The Golden Anniversary

This week's Picture of the Week is a very special Picture of the Week because we're celebrating a very special anniversary of a very special couple... my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary! How awesome is that? Their actual anniversary isn't until later in the...

Camp Manitou 2019 – Isle of Palms

You've probably noticed that Picture of the Week lags behind reality a bit (it is in fact not typically a picture from *this* week, just a picture *for* this week), but this week's picture is really and truly from this week! 🙂 My family has had a tradition over the...

Dogwoods from the Farm

This week's Picture of the Week is particularly exciting, partly because of the subject and partly because of where it was taken. As I noted a few weeks ago, the dogwoods and redbuds this spring were amazing! Huge blooms that seemed to hang around for a while; it was...

A Full Stream with Spring Greens

Happy Sunday everyone! If you've followed along with this blog for a bit, you'll remember that this past fall I finally found my groove with shooting streams, and it has been a BLAST. I tried shooting some this winter, but I was just never able to make anything...

Lilac

The return to day time! 🙂 Well happy Mother's Day everyone! I wanted to kick off my "Spring in East Tennessee" series here on Picture of the Week with a tribute to mothers everywhere, and I couldn't think of a better image to do that than one of my wife's prized...
