Sometimes I find some flowers in places that I am not looking. I had stopped to take pictures of some cosmos that were across the street and when I was turning around I saw these black-eyed susans around a mailbox, so I just had to stop and get some pictures. I don't know what it is about black-eyed susans that I have always liked. I think I will always be searching for the 'perfect' one.
I hope I haven't misclassified this shell. I don't know much about them, but I do know I love looking at them, and I love taking pictures of them. I don't like to pick them up and take them away though. I think that is why I love having my camera, because I can capture my picture and leave the subject where I found it.
I really do love lighthouses, but I can rarely get this close to one to take pictures like this. There are some in South Carolina that I would love to get pictures of, but getting close to them is a little difficult. Barnegat Lighthouse is on the northern tip of Long Beach Island, New Jersey. You should check it out if you are ever in the area.
