By Robert Stanhope

​If my math is correct, I traveled to 20 states in 2022. Most of the travel was in a car. As I was sorting the 1000+ photographs taken this year, I decided to share some of my favorites, one from each month. Enjoy!

A Grain of Beach Sand

3/23/2022

0 Comments

 
I arrived at Siesta Key beach before sunrise. With just a hint of light as I stood in the soft white sand, I was inspired. The beach had been beautifully groomed during the overnight hours. I reached down to grab a handful of sand. The grain of the sand inspired me to bring grain to the photography of the day. The slideshow is of Siesta Key and Sarasota. Enjoy!

Chasing Waterfalls

10/26/2021

The pop music group TLC had a song titled "Waterfalls". In the lyrics, they advised against chasing them. I didn't heed their words. As I enjoyed the winding roads through the mountains of North Carolina, I made a stop at Dry Falls near the community of Highlands. Below are a few photographs I took to capture these mighty waters that fall freely as collective drops on a journey down the Cullasaja River.

A Florida Country Wedding

4/9/2021

0 Comments

 
I photographed The Swan wedding a couple of weeks ago. The wedding was held at the beautiful Oaks at Devonshire in Arcadia, Florida. A native Florida landscape of live oaks provides a wonderful background to mix and match photos in black & white, spot color, and full color. It was my honor to capture the scenes of their big day and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Cardinal Photo Featured

The Florida Botanical Gardens are among the most beautiful in the state of Florida. I was honored when asked if they could feature one of my photographs from the venue in the Foundation's annual report. I didn't know which photograph they had chosen until I saw a finished copy of the report. The cardinal is my favorite bird. How did they know? Learn more about the gardens at this website. Visit the actual gardens when you can. You won't be disappointed.

Waning Gibbous photograph
I prefer the waning gibbous to the full moon when it comes to photography. The moon has a sense of mystery in a deep dark space.

Hardee Lakes County Park Photography

These photographs are from my first visit to Hardee Lakes County Park in Bowling Green, Florida. I feel it's a hidden gem for the naturist and for landscape photographers. I only explored about half of the grounds, leaving me an opportunity to return. Enjoy!

The Bradenton Riverwalk offers a variety of views and sights along the Manatee River. There's plenty of room to walk, run, and ride a bicycle. These photographs are a small sample of what you'll see along a 1.5-mile walking route.

The artwork on this page was all inspired by photographs that I've taken somewhere on a countryside, along a sandy shoreline, or looking into the sky at the stars. I'm thankful for the inspiration that nature provides. It grants me an opportunity to share the world with you.
