This set of eight photos captures the changeable moods of March in my little corner of southeast Ohio. Within the course of an hour their was cold wind snow squalls, then sun calm and blue skies followed again by cold wind and more snow squalls. March really is the Lion and the Lamb.
I love doing this, just putting my camera on the ground while it's in macro mode and taking a picture. Unfortunately my camera is now slightly muddy. Oh well.
Today I went with a friend to check out the Glenstone Museum, located in Potomac, Maryland, and what a place this is! Being both an art and a nature lover, this beautiful early spring day was the perfect day to go. Indoor photography is not allowed, though the exhibits are truly remarkable, and there is plenty to see outside as well. Admission is free and educators can drop in at any time with one guest during opening hours, with proof of ID. Walking along the outdoor trails is definitely a big part of the overall experience, so I strongly suggest that if you plan on visiting, wear comfortable walking shoes and be ready to do some walking. What I love about this place is that even after several hours of exploring, I never felt any sort of sensory overload or visual information fatigue, which I usually get after about a couple of hours at most museums. A lot of that had to do with the way things are so thoughtfully displayed, with a great emphasis on space. Because of this there was lots of room for pause. My only complaint was having to use a QR code on my phone to get a meal. I know so many places are going that direction, but I wish they’d give you a choice (especially since my phone has the slowest reception). For a place that emphasizes putting away electronic devices, I thought that was a bit counter to their ethos. All minor gripes aside, I can’t recommend this museum enough, particularly if you enjoy modern art and architecture, as well as nature. #theglenstone #glenstonemuseum #glenstone #theglenstonemuseum #art #museum #artmuseum #contemporaryart #modernart #conceptualart #nature #sculpture #architecture #painting #potomacmd #earlyspring
Warm air from the Gulf of Mexico has kicked Spring into high gear and we have lots of Daffodils about to open. Gaston County, NC, USA. Canon T6i. 2/12/2018
Welcome! We're so glad you're here! We have two entrances: one at the front of the house, the other up the ramp under the carport, leading to the David Mace Gallery. Please feel free to use either one.
These little Red Ants are working hard to collect the sweet nectar from this Peony blossom. 4/14/2025
This is the door to the hotel. The entrance to the David Mace Gallery is under the carport to the left. But feel free to come in either way....
Primavera in città: fioriture nei giardini delle case e dei condomini: le Forsizie
(Forsythia) sono una delle fioriture più precoci
Yesterday (March 28) I saw this bird (it's greatly cropped for ID help) in a tree in a nearby park. At the same time I heard a talented Mockingbird nearby going through his vast repetoire. I heard (I thought) the "Weep-weep-weep" of the GCF in amongst that medley. Then I saw this bird. Wouldn't turn its head! Had a yellowish wash on the belly. This would be over a month early for any flycatchers to appear here in western NY. What do you think. Sorry the picture is not better.
