This photo of dried hydrangea wraps up the series I began on Nov. 15th called “Photos that look like paintings”. This flower is as lovely dried as it is when in full bloom.

Another photo of Butterfly Milkweed. I shot this wide open, very late in the afternoon on a sunny day a few weeks past the Summer Solstice. The result … surreal colors & an unearthly bokeh. Also, yesterday I mentioned that I’m considering designing a website for my photography. I’d offer prints for sale in various [...]

On Black The title of this image is Flowers for Mr. Poe. I think Edgar would have liked this photograph. And I want to mention that I am contemplating designing a website for my photography. Whatcha think?

On Black Who knew crabapple trees could look so gorgeous in autumn? It’s usually the springtime blossoms that attract the eye. Glorious nature.

On Black This photo was taken approximately half a year ago when Spring was in all its glory. No textures, filters or layers have been applied to this image. I love the way this shot turned out. And what a beautiful flower!

I do not know what kind of shrub this is, but we found it while walking through a local arboretum. Beautiful color for Northern Illinois in late November. Actually, beautiful color for anywhere, anytime IMO. Glorious nature. EDIT: Thank you Lucy for letting me know that this plant is an American Beautyberry.

On Black I know we’re not supposed to shoot into the light, but it just felt right with this image. Glad I followed my instinct and broke the rules. This nature photo has a bit of a Christmassy feel to it so I’ve decided to print some greeting cards with this image.
