5. Spring in the Hudson Valley

This past May, I visited a daughter who has an old farmhouse in a small village near New Paltz, New York. Set in the rolling hills alongside the Hudson river valley, it is a beautiful setting. One morning I was walking outside, as always with my camera, and looking for flowers, trees, insects, anything that caught my eye. The following is another series of photographs that continue to show the true beauty of the world around us. Simple pictures of the natural world.

The irresistible appeal of the bleeding heart















....... is even more so when examined close-up!















Just a simple spring garden, but so much beauty...











































And, many others were seen that beautiful morning.





















































































It is amazing what you can see if you take the time to look.
