Picture-A-Week-2015 - Week 14

Pictures taken between Monday, March 30 and Sunday, April 5.

Sorry from Ohio that I do not have any fancy flower and/or exotic bird pictures that those from California, etc., can post. BUT, it has been sunny and getting wonderful spring weather here for the past three days in the midwest. Nice change from the winter blasts. Below are a couple of photos that I snapped yesterday.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

From our Jan. 25-Feb. 20, 2015, Amazon River-Caribbean combo sailing over 26 days that started in Barbados, here is the link below to that live/blog. Lots of great visuals from this amazing Brazil river and these various Caribbean Islands (Dutch ABC's, St. Barts, Dominica, Grenada, etc.) that we experienced. Check it out at:

In our backyard area that was covered with snow last week, here is the view near our waterfall. Lots of good sunshine here in Ohio!! Plus, here's a bird at our feeder above our patio area. Spring is here!!:

Too soon to have the water flowing.

We discourage the pigeons in our yard.

Your Hibiscus are beautiful.

Rainy here as well in western PA.

A little hazy this morning, and focusing a 200mm on a dim moon is pretty difficult for these old eyes...

Great shots.

No moon to be seen by us yesterday morning. Nothing but rain.

Happy Easter!! And, sunny Spring greetings!! In Charlottesville, Va. (home area of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe), we are catching up with our two grandsons, family, etc., over this joyous Easter holiday weekend. Below are a few of my visual "proofs" of spring here.

THANKS for the earlier moon, flower, nature, etc., pictures! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Enjoyed a 14-day, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure, getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

Below are some visuals samples from this scenic part of Virginia where the spring season is a little ahead of what has been happening in Ohio. Nice to see the flowering trees, daffodils, etc. The first picture is of a nice Easter flower arrangement inside at our son's home in Charlottesville.:

This past week had some really fabulous shots, LOVE all the flower photos. :)

Lovely flowers, and loving the moon shots

I've got two from this week - the first from Monday, showing our spring weather

Great pictures.

A six-second exposure turns the passing ocean into an abstract pattern un-seeable in real time.
