Hickory Nut Falls
We also hiked up to Hickory Nut Falls, which wasn't falling very much due to local area drought conditions. But it was still cool!

Red door in Raleigh
I like doors. They are the entrance to many different places. I saw these red doors and quickly took this shot as we walked by. I didn't notice the 2 green doors till I got home and downloaded my pics...
I wish doors could talk!

Arlie Gardens - Flowers
I took this outside with my cam on a pod, a flash w/extension and gold reflector. I really like the way it makes the back ground black..

Wilmington NC
This past weekend I went to a photo workshop. One of the things we did was "art with light". Here, the model posed during the long exposure and was "lit" by a flash light for a few seconds then she ran out of the pic. It gives her a ghostly look!

The Redhead
This bird wasn't shy at all! He posed for quite a while and was really curious of the human with the weird eye (camera) staring at him and periodically emitting bright light..lol

gargoyles
One of the many strange ones on Biltmore House in Asheville. Seems they even had a warped sense of humor in the late 1800's!

Salmon fishing is all wet!
This big boy had just come up from plunging in after a salmon. I was really this close to him (in a enclosed, protected hut). At the top of the river bank, we were enclosed by a "fence" hat was maybe waist high. The bears were with in reach. But of course you didn't reach or you would draw back a nub...
It was an awesome trip that I want to do again!

nite letters
This is one of several favorites of mine taken in downtown Fort Myers, FL. It is the latin names of flowers cut out of circular sheet metal lit from within, reflecting on the Post Office.
