It's really surprising how quickly spring growth appears and matures in this region.  I should have planned a photo trip for this weekend, but didn't think of it.  It will mostly be too late a week from now, and I'm so busy on the weekdays that I probably won't get out at all.  This photograph was made this morning in the backyard. The light blooms are Carolina Jessamine and appeared overnight fully formed.  They'll likely be gone in another day, so I'm glad I at least got this image. (MF Film - 300mm lens)

Returning home from a trip north, we drove through Fargo, a tiny town in Georgia.  The road crossed a small bridge over the Suwanee River.  The banks were lined  with interesting trees that got my immediate attention.  I've posted a couple of images from there before (I don't remember when, btw), and came across these two just recently.   (MF Film)

The light was particularly dull for my first visit to Egan's Creek.  It's a long greenway very close to the ocean and east of the Intracoastal.  So I photographed the marsh grass which was new to me, and these two ancient trees whose lifeless skeletons remain neither needing exciting light.  The third photograph is of the creek just plain and simple.  (MF Film)

Sometimes, I don't fully react to certain images right away, and sometimes even for years!  Here are two photographs I made years ago that I ignored for some reason I no longer recall.  Well, here they are now.  I like 'em!  (MF Film)

Corporate parks can be soulless cubicle farm centers, or more thoughtfully designed and quite attractive campuses.  The YMCA I belong to is sited in the latter, and rather than use a treadmill in the gym, I enjoy walking on the tree lined walkways that allow a pretty decent workout.  It surprises me that I see few of the office drones enjoying the grounds at lunchtime, but perhaps they feel they need to work through lunch and just stay at their desks. Near the Y is a lovely lake with benches and trees. At one end of it there are a clump of cypress trees.  Here are two pictures of one of those trees.
