RON's A ROUND TUIT THREAD

[RON_RIP]

That is persistence.

Well, what was I to do. I have had this on my bucket list for at least 8 years and it was obvious that I was never going to get a decent shot of one along the Blue Ridge Parkway as the blossoms was too high in the trees to get a good shot. So when I learned of this tree I knew I had to stake it out until it had a blossom within reach of the ground. Missed the shot by 1 day last year and vowed I would not miss another. Color me obsessed, but victorious.

Congratulations on the victory. :triumphant:

What's next?

Have some landscapes in mind and a fall shoot that has been in the back of my mind for several years and, of course, always more flowers. Have got to catch up with @wthorson.

We have irises too Wendy, so this ones for you @wthorson

Ron, that is a beautiful iris. I love the contrasting colors. I haven't seen one like that around here. Very nice shot.

Well, if you like irises, here is some more

Walked to the Library this evening and ran across a bed of flowers with many irises, here is another

Had a nice shot of this branch in winter and thought I would revisit it in Summer

Right around the corner I ran into this little guy; I am sure he thought I did not notice him.

Isn't there a thread about posting the same shot in two different seasons?

Never mind, I found it, it's autumn/winter. http://nikonites.com/landscape/1702...hots-here.html?highlight=winter#axzz3biAr5NkQ

 

[RON_RIP]

Thanks Marilynne. i doubt this branch looks much different except in Winter. But i will shoot it in all seasons and find out.

And roses now are coming out

And this, as fine a bud as I have ever seen

I posted this project a while back and it has been a work in progress since then

Finished up Saturday. The wood is Spanish Cedar. It is a small but completely function kitchen

What a beautiful job on the project Hats off to you.
Same goes for those roses as well.

Thanks for the compliment. While it may not be obvious the back 2 overhead cabinets are built on an angle to conform to the walls. That was a bear to do. In addition, the architect and the homeowner kept making changes which is why it took so long to finish the project.

WOWZERS, That is some spectacular wood working. Fabulous job!!!

 

[RON_RIP]

Woodworking projects seem to be consuming all my time recently. This is a porch being built with a new product called Boral which is composed of coal ash residue and is supposedly




a green product. This porch is now ready for paint, which i understand will be Cherokee Red, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's favorite colors. before
