Butterfly on azaleas, Deer Run Farm, McLemore Cove, Walker County, Georgia.
Blog Note: I apologize for not posting on Wednesday. I had an outpatient procedure which kept me in a bit of a funk for a few days.
For many years now, we have had a large canvas print for each season of the year hanging above our fireplace. This summer, we have a new one. It's a photo of a butterfly on some azaleas in our back yard at Deer Run Farm and was made with a Fuji X-T20 and the inexpensive but very sharp Fujinon XC 50-230mm lens.
The picture below was our winter print this year:
It's a photograph of Chickamauga Creek and Pigeon Mountain at the back of our farm in McLemore Cove after the Great Blizzard of 1993. It was made with a Canon EOS film camera on Fujichrome 100 film and scanned with a Konica-Minolta DiMage 5400 scanner.
Having these large prints hanging where we can live with them every day is something both Louise and I enjoy very much. So far, I haven't made any photos of Knoxville/East Tennessee that I like well enough to use above our fireplace, but who knows? Maybe by this time next year. . .
You can see a few more of our fireplace panels here.

ReplyDeleteWas your farm near where the battle was fought? My Great great great grandfather fought there with his brother in September 1863. They both survived the war
