Recently, Sherry Ellis of Gone Gardening posted about Tryon Palace and Gardens in New Bern. I’ve been there several times, both with family and our local photo club, and taken A LOT of photos. It’s a beautiful place and I’d like to share some images:
This image is one of the stock images for sale at my Spunk On A Stick site. (And thanks to everyone who checked out my new site last week. Transferring my domain name this week and then everything will be set!)
Inspired by any images lately?
Love the water pictures, especially! Maybe because today is going to be such a hot one? :)
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are beautiful, but I'm like Elizabeth and the water shots capture my attention first. I think it's because capturing the water, you make time stand still for that instant.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely pix as usual Diane. We went to Tryon once. Did you know the governor's wife was related to Matt (she was a Wake) and their family crest is on display on a wall, can't remember exactly where it was. We were with a cousin of Matt's and it caused great excitement to see the crest.
ReplyDeleteReally nice photos, especially the water ones.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! You have a wonderful eye for beauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I really love the water photos.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Well done and congrats on the stock biz!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and your pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about catching water in motion that is always exciting. That last image was particularly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye...maybe two... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
Elizabeth, and it started off so nice and cool, too.
ReplyDeleteMason, I have an obsession with water shots. Maybe that's why.
Jo, what a claim to fame!
Lee, it's one of my favorites.
The pics are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like seeing what interests your creative spirit when you take pictures Diane. I've been remiss with picture taking and the funny thing is I love it. Just haven't had the oomph to get out there and take them. Used to do lots of walks and find all sorts of interesting things to photo. I've taken more pictures of coffee cups than about anything, lol!
ReplyDeleteI do love the last picture in your series here. I recently saw a gorgeous picture of sunset across a ripple of sand. The colors were rich and loved the mix of silhouettes and shadow. Made you stop and savor it.

Your photos are lovely. I especially like the tulip closeup. Thank you for commenting on my blog about my website in progress. It made me realize I had forgotten to include photography as one of my tabs!

ReplyDeleteWater photos are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these. They are beautiful.
Images inspire me every day. Often they are even the inspiration for new books and short stories. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I wish I could visit :)
ReplyDeleteReally like. Interesting how water pics evoke so many different emotions.
ReplyDeleteWow, your photos are wonderful. I especially love the water pictures.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos. I'm always interested in seeing the flora of other states, since we don't have many of those flowers in Florida.
ReplyDeleteWow, Diane... your photography is exquisite. I checked out your website and I am blown away. The color, detail and sharpness... very impressive!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics! The last one is my favorite-you are so talented! :D
ReplyDeleteI love all these photos! Thanks for sharing them here.
ReplyDeleteoh my girl! did you take those photos?? quite the photographer!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look so delicate. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteAnd doth the gentle ambience of your photos flows from the screen and are etched into my mind. Thank you.
I get inspired by the images of nature, sometime in places you don't expect. A flower of hope amongst a rubble of a run down area.
