The flowers here that the small bee is finding so fascinating is Fleabane. I think it's Common Fleabane, but there are 173 varieties to Fleabane in the United States. The blooms are not very large, but are still attractive, and quite delicate.

I found this plant near the Natchez Trace last week, blooming in many places. I find wildflowers irresistible, and try to identify the ones that I photograph. Too bad I don't remember then for much longer than they bloom!

There are a lot of waterfalls in Tennessee, more than 500. I shared a phone photo last week of Burgess Falls, near Cookeville. This photo using my camera and a longer lens is a view of a portion of the falls, captured at 1/800 second.

I noticed that there was green under the water, a shrub or even a tree. Most of the year, this portion of the precipice is not covered with water. But this day, it was underwater. I took a series of photos, experimenting with what happens when the time of the exposure is lengthened. The photo below was shot at 1/8 of a second.

I admit that most of the time I am drawn to the blurred water. I realize some viewers are not. The top photo emphasizes the water while the lower photo draws attention to what is underneath, I think. There is power in the upper photo, poetry in the lower. I enjoy both views.

This is the second photo that will be exhibited during the month of May at Belmont United Methodist Church.

This is the detail of the front grill of a Duesenberg automobile at the Auburn Cord Museum in Auburn, Indiana.

I like the repeating lines and shapes but with the change in color as it is reflected in the chrome that adds interest.

This photo is one of two that will be exhibited during the month of May at Belmont United Methodist Church, Nashville.

I like that this photo suggests that it is something other than the front end of a 1959 Mercury.

Close-up view of a scratch in the flaking paint. All in the eye of the beholder!

This is the second photo of mine that will be exhibited at Hot and Cold, here in Nashville, during the month of May.

I admit that I have struggled with this image. Should it be black and white, which is different from the exhibited image? I changed the cropping, went to other photos that I took at the same time. Frankly, I'm just unsettled with this photograph.

This image from Scarritt-Bennett Center will be exhibited during the month of May at Hot & Cold. 1804 21st Ave. S. Nashville, TN 37212. Six other photographers will be exhibiting abstract images as well. This is an HDR combination of three images at different exposures to bring out the detail in the shadows. I like the colors, the patterns, and the form of the arches.

Since March 1, this photo is currently being exhibited at Belmont United Methodist Church, Nashville.

When we moved to Brentwood, I created an area by the pool for Judy's daylilies. They begin blooming around June 10 and continue for more than two months. I added an additional bed this month between the pool and the workshed. I am enthralled by the beauty if these flowers and try to capture some of that beauty each day. This one is called "Skyhook". Actually, you need to see them in person.

This photo is currently exhibited, since March 1, at Belmont United Methodist Church, Nashville.

I was staying with friends who lived, at the time, on a street called Daybreak. Their guest bedroom had an east facing window. Dawn that morning began with fog and when the sun cleared the horizon and began to radiate through the trees, it was magical. I took more than one photo that morning. When I think about it, I see a lot of magical mornings, sometimes the sun is shining!
