This was so beautiful to see! I applied a texture from Sebastian Michael's Photoshop Artistry textures he offers to include edits using Photoshop Elements and Enlight App.

Early this month I had the pleasure of participating in a photography workshop in the coastal California redwoods led by Sapna Reddy [https://www.flickr.com/photos/sapna_reddy/]. The redwoods were amazing and Sapna is a great tour leader. She is immensely talented, fun to be around, and a very good teacher.

you are welcome :-)

The Rhododendrons are in full bloom right now. I am enjoying the color while it lasts, because soon we will be into the long hot days of summer, and then the color will be gone for another season!

Enjoy your Friday and weekend everyone. I am heading to the coast tomorrow to enjoy the cool ocean air! :-)

My rhododendrons were lovely this year. Their blossoms lasted about a month.

Happy Saturated Saturday!

No editing except cropping. Decided against border. Located in our front yard.

Port Townsend Rhody Parade

Providence and Worcester Valley Falls based local PR-3 is right on the Cranston (left)/Providence (right) line as they shove back beneath the RI Route 10 overpass which crosses the five track Cranston Yard and three Amtrak mains. The local's two regular GP38-2s 2006 and 2007 (built new for the then only 7 yr old newly independent road by EMD in Feb. and Nov.1980 respectively) is backing their train toward the city owned Harbor Junction Running Track to begin their day's work at the Port of Providence.

Happy Fence Friday! My neighbor's Rhodie growing through my fence. They provide a beutiful break in an otherwise old and weathered fence.

Rhododendrons and azaleas, both from the genus Rhododendron, have long been mainstays of late spring because of their spectacular clusters of showy blooms—plus, large green leaves that often stay green through winter. The flowers are tubular-, funnel-, or bell-shaped—and often fragrant.
