A pair of wooden posts help hold up the fence of the horse pasture in this continuation of the Around Home in Spring 2025 series.
When we built all the fences around our property, we learned a lot about how to do it, which included some wooden posts every now and then to help keep tension on the fence wire. Plus, the wooden posts are a bit more photogenic than the thinner metal posts.
Looking into the woods from the edge of the trees in the woodlands of Tennessee. This is the latest in a series of photos from Around Home in Spring 2025. I decided to make a tag for them to make them all easier to find. And I may have one or two others to share, too.
A purple hydrangea blossom stands out against the green leaves in the background. This photo is a direct follow-up to the Rose in Spring posted recently, from the Around Home in Spring 2025 series.
We have had this hydrangea plant in our yard for a few years, but this is the best year yet that it has had. The purple color is magnificent, and I am looking forward to seeing the plant grow and bloom more.
A rose in the spring after a rain in our front yard. The color of these roses always stands out to me, so I wanted to make sure it stands out in this photo.
I had mentioned in the About the Photo section of the previous post that I recently took some new photos around our house, and this is one of those. These roses are always good photo subjects, and I decided to give this one a different look. You can read more about that in the About the Photo section of this post below.
Clouds fill the sky behind the buildings of Panama City, Panama, during our 2024 Panama Trip.
I liked this view of the city buildings of Panama City from Panama Viejo. It was a contrast between the old, old buildings of the original city with the new, modern buildings being built today. Of course, in this view you can only see the new buildings, but you can see the old buildings with the new buildings in that earlier post.
Clouds fill the sky at sunset above the Ko Olina Lagoons on the island of Oʻahu, as seen during our 2023 Hawaiʻi trip.
As you may recall from the trip report, we went out to see the sunset most of the nights that we were in Hawaiʻi. As you can see from this photo, we were not alone. There were a few people down by the lagoon, and there were several more under the palm trees on the small hill in the distance. You may know I like wide-angle views sometimes, and I did like this view that takes in all of the scenery. You can read more about this day in Part 3 of our trip report.
A tree is silhouetted against the sky in Panama City, Panama.
During our walk back from a beach in Panama, I saw this tree that I found to be interesting. Looking back now, I am not entire sure if I was interested in the tree or in the turkey vultures sitting in the top branches of the tree. We have turkey vultures just like those back here at home in Tennessee, so it was interesting to see them there in Panama. Interesting fact: Most of the time here in North America when people see a bird that they think is a buzzard, it is actually a turkey vulture.
A nighttime view of a street in Hot Springs, Arkansas, from our visit there last year.
Back in early 2024, Laura and I went to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for our church’s annual marriage retreat. While we were there, we took a little time to look around and see what we could see.
The bell towers of the Metropolitan Cathedral in Panama City, Panama, against a stormy sky.
During our 2024 Panama trip, we visited the Metropolitan Cathedral one afternoon while we were walking around in Casco Viejo, and you can see photos from the interior of the cathedral in this post and also read more about its history.
White foam covers the sand as a wave recedes at Cocoa Beach, Florida, as beachgoers enjoy the water.
Yes, it is another beach photo coming right after another beach photo. However, that last beach photo was a Hawaiʻi beach photo, while this one is a Florida beach photo from our 2023 Florida trip.
