My venture into digital photography is new but my love for photography is almost as old as I am. I want to learn more about photographic techniques and image processing. I have an online site for some of my photographs. BEHANCE.NET.
WRAL Freedom Balloon Fest - May 2015. A beautiful day and an uplifting event. This is an example of the "Balloon Glow" that happened shortly after sunset.

My father-in-law, Mr. M. H. Green, Jr of Raleigh NC, served on the Destroyer Escort USS Rich (DE 695) which sank on June 8, 1944. The ship struck three mines off the coast of Normandy and sank within minutes. Eighty-nine members of her crew were lost that day. Read the full story here. You can read Mr. Green's story here.

The Neuse River Trail is a 33-mile long paved greenway located in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, running along the banks of the Neuse River from Falls Lake Dam to the town of Clayton (Wikipedia). One day in April 2015 I was walking a section of the trail near my home and spotted a dogwood tree. When I passed the tree and leaned over a hedge I found this beautiful flower silhouetted against the river. The greenish-brown background is the Neuse River.
