I almost missed the spring time here in Georgia.  I left for Brooklyn on March 20th as it beginning to blossom and returned in  April when many of the blooms were gone.  A couple of days during April in North Carolina allowed me capture these images as their spring comes a bit later and thus many plants were still in bloom.

Unfortunately frosts and storms and heavy rains took their toll before I had taken many images. I am not sure what this white bloom is.  Please add a comment if you recognize it.  I’ll be posting a lilac tomorrow.

We are pleased that a number of our photographs were selected to be used in the Town Planner Calendar which is circulated in the CSRA fall.  This is a great calendar with useful information about community events and coupons, too. The Southern Magnolia Blossom on the cover is one of Ruth’s floral art prints.  Ruth is currently taking an online class with an artist in New York, Patri Fehr who has a unique way of capturing flora for prints and other types of images. Check back into see her posts as the class progresses.

As you open up to January it features icy holly berries that Ruth, who is also called Gigi by associates in the art/photography world shot during an ice storm that we had a few years ago.  Lately our winters have had very cold days, but not much in the way of scenic precipitation!  March is a pasture scene with horses in rich greens and takes you into spring that Gigi also shot.  May honors our veterans with an image of a young cadet visiting the traveling Viet Nam Memorial which was here in Augusta last summer.  The memorial is truely a remarkable monument and evokes emotions to all who visit it.  We were fortunate to have it sponsored and brought here to Augusta again.  The image Ruth submitted was selected, but Warren’s image of Fireworks from the 4th of July Celebrations on the Riverwalk were featured in July.  December featured the Gate Keepers House at Savannah Rapids decked out with Christmas lights and ribbons.   We’re already planning what to submit for next year!

The images above may vary from the exact ones in the calendar.  The calendar images were all horizontal due to formating requirements.

Prints of the  images can purchased by contacting us at info@geitgey.com. 

Here is another floral water color look I did today.

I thought this was a primrose.  Someone else said hibiscus.  Do any of you know? Please leave a comment on the post if you have an idea.Please don’t let the watermarks on our images distract you.  They are not on the final prints or canvases.  The original photograph is also posted here for comparison.

I had the opportunity to go to the Horse & Carriage Show for a brief time before a huge storm came.  I was only able to take a few images.  Here are a few I really liked displayed on canvases.  These can be printed up to 36×32 or so.  I think the rusted textured of these old blades, the tractor seat, and light play on them makes for an interesting composition. Enjoy.
