Close Up – John Michael Morgan Photos

I captured two images of my neighbor’s blooming Blackberry Bush. I was fortunate to photograph a visiting Bumblebee in between its snacks on numerous flowers. Those flowers will soon be replaced by (hopefully) plump berries.

Signals of Springtime

Close Up, Flowers, Wildlife

Both of these images are a signal that springtime in SW Virginia is well underway. Hopefully, the remainder of 2021 will offer lots of outside photographic activities and travel compared to 2020 … which as we all know was not so good.

Head cocked toward the ground, this Robin is scanning below for worms and insects.

Hiding in a Tree

A bright red Cardinal and a Bluejay were almost hidden in a Dogwood tree, but their colors gave them away.

Daffodils at Peak

Close Up, Flowers

My favorite patch of Daffodils in our garden.

I love the look of this variety which is much different from the common “bell-shape” Daffodil.

A Wonderful Spring Walk

With camera in hand, I ventured on a short walk to record some of the beauty of Spring 2021 which is far better for me mentally than COVID Spring 2020.
