Flower and Garden Festival
Over the last 20 years the Epcot park in Walt Disney World has presented an International Flower & Garden Festival for 8 weeks in the spring. The entire park is budding with horticultural displays, events and activities. I was fortunate enough to spend a few days at last years festival with my new camera and was totally blown away with the whole presentation.
I had planned on attending again this year but my plans did not come to fruition. With the melting snow and hopefully emerging greenery here in Upstate NY I wanted to share some of the images from my trip. One of my favorite displays was the bonsai competition. A majority of the entries were on display in the Japan pavilion in World Showcase. Looking at the images last night I wish I had spent more time getting better compositions and watching my backgrounds. I’m sure I could do a better job now…

The Blues
Sunday was a great day! Not only was the day gorgeous with warm temperatures and sunshine I was able to bookend the day with photography. Due in part to daylight savings time occurring Sunday morning I had plenty of time for a walk with the camera before anyone else in the house woke up. There were a few clouds in the sky willing to highlight the sunrise and a long absence from the field across the road combined for some great early morning captures.
After a busy day filled with grocery shopping and a trip to the movies with my daughter I ended the day at Delta Lake state park for some sunset delight. Once again there were cooperating clouds, no wind and practically no people. The ice on the lake has started to melt and the water pools added to any composition I wanted to create. You might be flooded with pictures from the fun last night. I’ll apologize ahead of time! 🙂

Join Scott Thomas for his latest photographic assignment. This month is Black & White Photography…
March traditionally has been the assignment which challenges me and incidentally I learn the most from all of you. For this year, I selected for Assignment 24, Black & White Photography.
I am looking for either new or archived photographs which you either took in or converted to a Black & White. I, as a self-proclaimed color photographer, am looking for why you choose to photograph or present your photos in B&W.
As in the other assignments, do not send me your photos. What I would like you to do is post them on your blog, flickr, Google+ or other photo sharing site, personal website or any place on the Internet where you can place a link to it here by making a comment to this blog entry. Then, we can all visit those sites and enjoy everyone’s Black & White photos.
Please, have your photos posted on or before…
