*Luminescent Essence*



Luminescent Essence

Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks.
~Samuel Johnson~





A couple of Cody's friends are in town this weekend and they are staying with us.
After breakfast this morning we headed to the disc golf course in Ashe County.
We were only able to get through half of the 18 hole course since they were holding a tournament.
It was a very scenic course, we had a fun-filled day.

On the way home, we took the scenic route through Todd.
Bordering the New River almost the entire way,
it was a leisurely drive that we all enjoyed.

We ended the day cooking out.
The kabobs were delicious!

Hope you're all having a great weekend so far.

  3. Those look like the other hydrangeas you photographed but with more texture to them. Hydrangeas are my favorite flower to photograph.

  5. Some golf is better than no golf. Last night I found a small Hydrangea hidden behind some other plants and it was in full bloom.

    Arnold: It was in fact the same bush, just a different medium. Polaroid style shows just enough detail eh? I think this may be my first time photographing a hydrangea!

    please sir: It's a lot of fun, I'm not very good at it.....but it doesn't matter since we don't keep score anyways :o)
