Bamboo

Marvin, NC 2026

I'm not sure how prevalent bamboo is throughout the south eastern US. I would assume it grows well considering the climate here. I was surprised to see this stand of bamboo in this park.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Again

Marvin, NC 2026

I know the butterfly isn't as sharp as I would've liked, but I still felt it made for a nice image.

About Me

Ed: I'm a husband for 49 plus years now to my lovely wife, Michele and the very proud father of Jen and Mary. More recently, I'm a grandfather to Colin and Clara! Up until February of 2019 I was employed by Forma Therapeutics searching for the latest drugs to treat cancer. As of 2024, I am fully retired in North Carolina enjoying time with my grandchildren as they grow. In my spare time I enjoy digital photography, computers, and singing barbershop harmony. I enjoy the outdoors, a good baseball game, and Notre Dame Football.
