Bellringers Everywhere!

A Peek Inside the Bell
When photographing nature, I always look to find “different” ways of photographing something. In this case, I found a Virginia Bluebell wildflower with a clump of flower buds and a single bell open. I was wondering what it would look like, grabbing a capture looking down the bell of the flower. I captured 20 images, […]
Playin’ the Bells
After posting my first-of-year Virginia Bluebell in bloom on Friday, I headed back out to see if the bloom had progressed further. I was pleasantly surprised to find many bluebells in bloom. Here are a few of my favorite images I captured this past Friday in the rural Missouri woodland: With so many brilliant blue […]

More Signs of Spring
After the recent snowfall, I also found some early, woodland wildflowers growing around my rural property. The Virginia Bluebells had some small buds, still being covered by the leaves, trying to poke out: I then set up my camera on a tripod to capture some images for Focus-stacking: This focus-stacked image was made by capturing […]

Fun Friday: Surrounded by Pink
Today’s “Fun Friday” post was one that caught my eye while photographing this past week in the local Missouri woodland. A single Virginia Bluebell bloom was surrounded by pink buds: Today, I’m setting up my booth for the 2016 Stillwater Arts Festival, in downtown Stillwater, Oklahoma. If you live or will be in the area […]

Time for Seeding!
One last look at some of the early spring wildflowers, before they “melt” away. In this first photo, the Virginia Bluebells are at peak bloom right now and show themselves off nicely: In this next photo, a bluebell plant has hit peak bloom and is now starting the process of developing seeds which will later […]

I Can’t Get Too Much of These!
Today I’m featuring some more Virginia bluebells (aka, Virginia cowslip) wildflower images captured at one of my “shorty” Woodland Wildflower workshops last week. These are one of my favorite woodland wildflowers and the landscape can become quite breathtaking when there are hundreds of these beauties blooming at the same time! They should continue blooming for […]
