Married gay man. Enjoying retirement and lots of fresh air outside. I came out in my 60's so I'm new to being gay. I have a new camera too, it's very confusing but I like exploring the creative side of photography. Picture is not me.
Evening in Honolulu from 2 weeks ago, standing on Waikiki beach. It's a much bigger city than I expected. #BlueskyArtShow #evening #beach

I picked this flower this morning just after sunrise, all covered in dew. May be the last one for the season on this plant. It was just so pretty I wanted to enjoy it for as long as it lasts. It has a lemon scent. #photography #flower #roses

Home to me is a safe and cozy place, filled with love. Not an amazing picture but my husband and our 14-year-old dog Shorty asleep on the couch couldn't be more at "home". Shorty passed away the year after this photo was taken. #BlueSkyArtShow #Home

I did indeterminates one year. They got 12' tall but I never got maters like yours. Perhaps I'll try again. Were yours grown horizontally?

This is in Alaska, standing on an iceberg looking down into a crevasse (crack). The running water is coming from under the iceberg as it melts. If you want to get far outside, Alaska is amazing. #blueskyartshow #getoutside

I went out to trim some bushes and saw these roses looking so amazing after last night's rain, so I had to share. #bloomscrolling #flowers #photography

I'm going to my first protest on No Kings Day this Saturday 6/14. I can't sit idly by while our nation is being destroyed. I bought this shirt to support our LGBTQ "family" as well as democracy. Looks like I'll be wearing it a lot.

Last year we rented a very funky cottage in Florida. It was so much fun and such a unique stay. This is the backyard at night. #blueskyartshow #vibrant #photography

Took this two days ago in the morning as the sun was just creeping over the trees. I love my dahlias. They are the tallest thing in my garden, so they get the light first. #blueskyartshoe #vibrant #photography

I am confused as to how to get included in 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱, so I'll just add a post and see what happens. This is a reflection of the sky at a nearby grist mill pond. Two different days. I am an amateur learning my camera. #photography #landscapephotography #landscape

I get to see this pier every year, and I never seem to get bored taking pictures of it. These are from last year. One is looking out to sea; the other is toward the land. #photography #beachphotography #oceanphotography

There's a grist mill near me. I go there often, and it never fails to impress. I was playing with shutter speed and after a dozen pix I liked this one. I hope you do too. #photography
