Flowers and Foliage

A Small Collection of Nature’s Color

When I’m walking with my camera, I can’t help but stop, admire and photograph the flowers along the way. These walks might be close to home along the neighboring streets, strolling in one of the nearby gardens or hiking through some of our country’s amazing national parks. There are flowers everywhere.

And while an admirer of flowers is called an anthophile, I’m definitely not an expert. In fact, I know the names of only a few.

Anyway, let me just present my photo collection of flowers and foliage

The Met

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Last month while we were visiting the New York City area, we made a special trip to the well-known Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is the nation’s largest museum and contains a half a million specimens.

We spent a considerable amount of time perusing the huge collection of Egyptian art. Here are some of the exhibits.

Recycle Bins and Trash Cans

Keeping Our Streets Clean

Yes, my photo collections are sometimes “strange”.

This collection began with the many travels that I’ve taken over the years.

As you’ll see there is a lot of variety in the size, shape and color of the receptacles that we use to dispense with all of our litter.
