I am the mother of two boys.
I am the one who only wanted to have boys.
I am the educator who fell in love with a needy girl at school.
I am the one who struggled to overcome a helpless feeling when that girl was placed in foster care.
I am the wife of a husband willing to do a lot of amazing things for a girl he'd never met.
I am now the parent of that sweet girly girl.
I am in awe of the spirit and strength from this amazing survivor.
I am humbled.
I am learning to be the mother of a daughter.
Now You
52 of You - I am...

Hoch über Hohnstein erinnert am Röhrenweg (benannt nach den alten Wasserleitungen die einst Stadt und Burg versorgten) dieses Denkmal an die Opfer der beiden Weltkriege.

I am not at all familiar with butterflies and moths and their larvae, so I have no idea what this is, other than a very pretty bright yellow larva. He was about two inches (5 cm) long, crossing the road where I was walking in western Montana.
THE FLOWER ABOVE is in the set...

The photographs in my Weed Flower Micro sets may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photographs of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller. Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom.
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For relative size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
It’s the most challenging form of photography that I pursue, but I have a lot of fun making these photos for us to look at; I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do.

They seem close to evenly matched. Interestingly, both seem to have some brighter spots that could potentially be considered a place where most of the mass is, but I am unable to discern a nucleus for either one.
