This image has an abstract feel to it. Just coneflowers and daisies blooming and blowing in the warm summer breeze. Flower ♥ here.

This image was taken last summer at a local park: who knew a plant called butterfly milkweed could look so lovely? Nature is lovely, yes? The name of this photo is Cornucopia which is actually fitting for this time of year with Thanksgiving approaching.

I ♥ the blur & colors in this image. The name of this photo is Beneath the flowering sea. Image finding a flower beneath the water, that’s what this image looks like to me.

Okay, so I love photographing train tracks! This macro photo was taken at the same track as yesterday’s post. It is an active line with both commuter and freight trains running on it. And I was reminded of poor Anna Karenina while I was hunched down trying to get a good angle for a photograph.

I must confess that I have a fascination with trains and train tracks. I took this macro shot on a cold January afternoon as the light was beginning to fade. Note: this is NOT an abandoned track. It was a lot of fun lying on my stomach trying to get just the right angle. Was [...]

Since I got my new computer, I’ve finally gotten around to processing some autumn shots. How nice it is to not have to deal with my PC locking up every ten minutes when trying to edit files! This photo was feeling very blue, so I let it have its way. This is really one of [...]
