Bridget and I met up with Jen, Steve and Madeline today at Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne.  The gardens there are beautiful… just as nice as Longwood Gardens, but on a smaller scale.  And it wasn’t too crowded which was nice as well.  A storm rolled in after we were there for a bit, but I [...]

I saw one of our bunnies in the neighbor’s yard a couple of days ago.  I was able to get some pictures of it before it hopped into the brush in the back yard.

[ May 18, 2008; 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. ] I went to the Philadelphia Zoo on Sunday with Mike Hagan and the Delaware County Photography Group. The weather was predicted to be thunderstorms all day, but luckily it was a mix of mostly clouds with some sun for most of the day. We didn’t get hit with any rain until about 1:30, when we [...]

But because of the current administration, it [...]

Well I was a little bit upset last week because all of the baby bunnies left their bunny hole from under the deck.  I knew that it was going to happen sooner or later… that they would grow too big to stay in that little hole, and would all go out and find new places [...]

I got a real up close and personal look at Mommy bunny today. She was in the yard this afternoon when I got home from work and took the dogs out. She immediately made a break for it and went outside of the fence so the doggies couldn’t get to here (they wanted [...]

Well I had to go and check on the baby bunnies again this morning.  There are 4 of them in there, and all were doing very well.  Mom must have stopped by during the night to feed them, and she covered them up with some more fur.  She also ate some of the lettuce that [...]

We have some newborn bunnies in our backyard, right under our deck.  They are so cute, and only a couple of days old because they still have their eyes closed and are only an inch or two long.  I got some great pictures of them:

We’re going to keep a close eye on them so the [...]

We went for our portrait photography field trip today at Newlin Grist Mill Park.  It was an overcast day, but at least it stayed dry out and we had plenty of soft light to work with.  The park itself was beautiful, and was an excellent place to take portraits at with many photogenic scenes and [...]

[ March 4, 2008; 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. ] Bridget and I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show after work on Wednesday. It was nice because it was much, much less crowded going on a weeknight this year… last year we went on the opening day, Sunday, and it was packed with wall to wall people.

Unfortunately the displays this year didn’t seem anywhere near [...]

I went to Longwood Gardens on Saturday for a Lensbaby workshop given by Mike Hagan with some other members of the Chester County Camera Club. Lensbabies are a special selective focus SLR camera lens. They allow you to tilt and shift the front lens element, which will move the focal plane around so [...]

[ November 3, 2007; 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. ] Bridget and I joined up with some online freinds from the Nikon Cafe site on Saturday.  We went to Conowingo Dam, which is where US Route 1 crosses over the Susquehanna River, just north of the beginning of the Chesapeake Bay.  Afterwards, we had a BBQ and Portrait photo session.  The day was a bit cold and [...]

[ October 20, 2007; 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. ] Bridget and I had the chance this weekend to visit Fallingwater, an amazing house that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a vacation home for the Kaufmann family.  It was designed to to blend into the landscape, and sits over the Bear Run river and waterfalls.

The house and tour of the inside was very [...]

[ August 11, 2007; 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. ] Bridget and I took the dogs out for the day on Saturday.  We wanted to take them for a walk for some exercise, and also for a quick swim in the Brandywine creek, since it was such a nice day out!

First we started at the West Valley Nature Area, which is in Downingtown just off [...]

[ July 21, 2007; 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm. ] Bridget, Mom Kelleher and I all went to Longwood Gardens this last Saturday.  My wifey cake was busy reading her Harry Potter, but she was nice enough to set aside some time since I really wanted to go to Longwood, both to see (and of course take pictures) of all of the flowers and displays [...]

We bought a purple martin house for mom and put it up in the backyard a couple of weeks ago.  We already have a purple martin family that moved in and is living there!  We are so happy since they can be very picky and we also got the house up late in the season.  [...]

More pictures of some critters in our back yard.  I got pictures of a squrriel and a bun-bun hopping along.  There was also a cute little baby chipmonk there at the same time too, but it was too small and fast for me to get any pictures.
