Tonight my datura bush blooms
with thirty-three trumpets.
The moon glides past a tree
Spreading its silver glow on open flowers.
Suddenly sacred trumpets fluoresce
and seem brighter than the moon itself… Unknown Author
"The bristly fruit and stale-smelling leaves of the Sacred Datura speak to another, more sinister side of the plant, to a dark and fearsome netherworld of poison and potential emotional collapse, physical sickness and even death. It suggests visions of the brooding and frightening forests of the Brothers Grimm."

As a beautiful ending of my favorite month, I decided to choose dandelion as the final April post on Flickr. Actually this was my first trial of shooing this lovely plant. I did enjoy getting on the ground to do the macro shooting. Hope you enjoy them as well.
人間美好四月天即將畫下句點，我以首次嘗試拍攝蒲公英的照片，作為最後一段的詮釋，希望大家喜歡~
你是一樹一樹的花開，是燕
在樑間呢喃，－你是愛，是暖，
是希望，你是人間的四月天！

Picked this cool sticker up in Moab, Utah. There is a real rock art glyph, actually called Moab Man. Photo below. Odd that they printed a mirror image.
I got a mini-slinky in my christmas cracker this year - fantastic present! Even better, I was able to borrow a Canon EF100mm f2.8 macro lens to take pictures of it.

My first try at fast action photography. Since I don't have a flash with off camera shooting, I had to switch my camera to BULB mode, use mirror lock up, and press the flash button as the ice hit the water. Took me more than 350 tries. I had to drop the ice cube with my mouth. This one was the best one in my opinion.

Recently I am crazy about shooting butterflies especially this kind of small sized species. Metallic Cerulean is one of the common butterflies in Taiwan. I met it during hiking with my dog.
最近迷上拍蝴蝶，尤其是這種體型小的小灰蝶，白波紋小灰蝶是台灣波紋小灰蝶中體型最大的，普遍分布於平地至低海拔山區，幼蟲食以野薑花、月桃等寄主，成蟲於 6 - 10月出現，常見於寄主植物附近環境活動，數量很多。到郊外走走時，只要留心腳邊，就會發現這些美麗的小灰蝶~

First attempt at water drops. Had lots of fun trying to time and capture the drops. Awesome "rainy day" project..

This set of photos is a try to capture the mood and feeling of some things we’ve got at home. I didn’t want to photograph the whole, but rather some details that would give out the mood of the object. For this I used the 5D with the 100mm macro lens. All shot handheld with available light.
