Wildflowers Along the C&O Canal

by hankinslawrenceimages | May 22, 2019 | Maryland, Wildflowers

I recently spent an afternoon photographing spring wildflowers along the C&O Canal in Montgomery County Maryland. The area I was photographing in is part of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park. It was one of those days where everywhere I looked, I saw more wonderful wildflowers to photograph. I thought I’d share some of my photos from the day with you today.

Wonderful Spring Wildflowers

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 26, 2019 | Wildflowers

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been spending hours photographing flowers in gardens, parks and arboretums. As much as I love seeing the daffodils, tulips, grape hyacinths, and other garden flowers, I’m even happier every year to see all the spring wildflowers. So many of them are so delicate and bloom for only a short time in very specific places, that I always feel like I’ve received a gift from Mother Nature when I see and photograph them.

I thought I’d share some of my favorite spring wildflowers photos from this year with you.
