2009 -- A Photo Journey

As 2009 comes to an end, I'd like to share a few random photos I took during the year. When I look at these photographs, it's like taking a trip back in time as I recall the days I took them.

JANUARY: Narcissus is one of my favorite flowers. They are in their peak blooming season here in Mississippi, and I hope to capture some with my camera soon. I took this picture last January.

FEBRUARY: Close up shot of a monument in the Vicksburg National Military Park

MARCH: Headstones resting under the branches of an old dogwood tree. Taken at one of my favorite places to photograph in Vicksburg -- the Vicksburg National Cemetery, located in the Vicksburg National Military Park.

APRIL: The inside of a Snapdragon blooming in our courtyard

MAY: One of the first hummingbirds of Spring


JUNE: Cotton Blossom near Lake Providence, Louisiana

JULY: July 4th Celebration, Vicksburg

AUGUST: Mississippi Delta Sunflower

SEPTEMBER: Twisted Crape Myrtle trunks in the Vicksburg National Cemetery

OCTOBER: The seed pod of a Dogwood Tree at the Old Court House Museum, Vicksburg

NOVEMBER: Oak Tree in Vicksburg National Cemetery

DECEMBER: Light dusting of snow on a Japanese Maple Leaf in our courtyard

I'm looking forward to a new year of rambling with my camera and discovering and capturing in pictures the places I go and the things I see along the way. I hope you will join me.
