    Loved it. Been looking for a photography group in Broward County and found the spring meetup. Lex was friendly, helpful and encouraging (I have years of photography experience but quite rusty especially with new with new digital technology). Got to take and compare some great photos, meet fantastic similarly minded people with no pressure or pretense. I am looking forward to April's gathering.

    I used to hate going to Flamingo Gardens only because I was scared of running into a person I didn't want to see. To be honest I was scared of leaving my house. God reminded me of how much beauty there is in healing, and friendships. So a group of local moms got together for a Flamingo Gardens trip. I have been dedicated to taking photos every day and that is where I snapped this beauty.

    Title or Location: Moonrise over the Atlantic
    Capturing images of the night sky and bodies of water fascinates me, so in this image, I combined a bit of both. I only get a few times a year to see a full moon rising over the Atlantic at the right time, at a prime position, and where the weather permits it. The moonrise happened shortly after sunset, giving the horizon a deep orange color that complemented the blue night sky. I wanted the pier in the image to give it some scale.Location: Lake Worth Beach Pier, Lake Worth FLDate: April

    I enjoy macro photography highlighting parts of everyday object wee usually overlook. In this picture, I noted the opening of the white rose petals to reveal the reds and oranges of the stamens and pistil against a golden glow formed from the light diffusing through the scene, like the opening of a painted paper fan.
