Orange Hibiscus

Description: A large orange hibiscus flower, taken at Longwood Gardens, PA

Why I like this photo: Well, I thought I would continue the flower theme I started with until I run out of photos. I really like how the light shines on the top of the petals and the middle stem (I believe the whole thing is collectively called a pistil).

White Orchids

Why I like this photo: I think flowers are beautiful and I know there's no way to capture that in a photo like mine, but I think these are just fantastic. I know they look a little yellow, it's because of the lighting. Flowers always inspire me to keep taking photos so I thought it was fitting to make my first photo post about them.

Why a Second Blog?

Why am I making a second blog when my first one has absolutely no action you ask? Well, this blog is exclusivley for my amateur photos that I would love to share with the world. It was getting too complicated trying to make a photo album on my other blog so I decided, why not? Make another blog!

I know many people probably do this type of blogging, but I guess I'm just looking for a place to put my semi-artistic photos that isn't on facebook, my current method of backing up my photos.

So if you happen to stumble upon this blog, leave me a comment. I am in no way a professional and I realize this comes through visibly in my photos so be nice. :)
