DARK GREEN IN MAY

CMMC May Colors Forest or Dark Green In the northeast, it's too early for dark green trees. You won't see leaves that color until the end of June at the earliest. The deepest greens don't show up until August. But other things have a deeper green, including a variety of popular decorative plants. Peaceful river in … Continue reading DARK GREEN IN MAY

SKETCHBOOK 24: IVY, ORCHIDS, AND A PORTRAIT

I drew the orchids a while ago, but I didn't like them enough to post them. But I looked at them today and decided they aren't bad. More to the point, parts of the picture are good. Other parts? Not so much. I like the bud on the left, not thrilled with the bottom of … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 24: IVY, ORCHIDS, AND A PORTRAIT

SPRING BY THE CANAL

FOTD – April 14 – Trees by the River And these are the trees in early April. In other places, where the sun can get through the trees, there are actually some leaves on some trees -- but not here. The trees look sort of fuzzy this time of year. It's the buds. And of course, … Continue reading SPRING BY THE CANAL

AUTUMN LEAVES, STONE BRIDGE

FOTD – October 18 – Autumn Leaves The day passed as we traveled from the canal to River Bend looking for the best leaves. Surprisingly, the leaves in Rhode Island were much brighter than up here. It should be the other way round since we are further north. No matter because regardless, there is still plenty … Continue reading AUTUMN LEAVES, STONE BRIDGE

LEAVES AND LAST FOLIAGE IN DECEMBER

#CFFC: Leaves and Trees by the Blackstone - Garry Armstrong Good thing we take a lot of pictures when we are out taking pictures. It was all Marilyn's idea, so she can't complain. She told me to shoot more. You can never be sure a single shot came out, or, for that matter, if you'll … Continue reading LEAVES AND LAST FOLIAGE IN DECEMBER

#CFFC – DOWN BY THE RIVER AND TREES IN WINTER

CFFC: Leaves and Trees - Marilyn Armstrong While we all hunker down and wait for the giant snowstorm to hit tomorrow night, we got some good shots down by the Blackstone. These are mine. Maybe I'll post Garry's in a separate post.

SOMEHOW, SPRING SPRANG – Marilyn Armstrong

SPRING CAME ANYWAY You might think that with the awful and cold weather we've had, that spring wouldn't show up, but it did. Today was pretty nice. A big humid followed by pelting rain, high winds, and several tornados, but the morning was nice. I had to take some pictures of the woods getting ready … Continue reading SOMEHOW, SPRING SPRANG – Marilyn Armstrong

PICK ME UP AND WINTER’S DAMAGE – GARRY ARMSTRONG

GARRY SEEKS SPRING IN UXBRIDGE He hiked up the driveway, initially to bring down the trash can and pick up the mail, but he took a camera. It was a lovely day. There have been some lovely days, but very few last an entire day. Usually, the "good" day lasts part of the morning with … Continue reading PICK ME UP AND WINTER’S DAMAGE – GARRY ARMSTRONG
