A bit out of focus - the depth of field on the Moment macro lens is minuscule - but I kind of love the "marshmallow fluff" look here.

I'm so sorry for my lack of posts! I've been so busy lately... but it was nice to take a break and just do nothing but take pictures and watch movies for a day :)
this picture is kind of the first trial run of a bigger concept of "Botany" i have in mind, that i will hopefully be able to shoot soon!
It's getting colder and colder here, i wish it would just snow, or at least have the leaves change colors. damn florida </3
Sunrise overlooking Botany Bay, Sydney from the boat wharf jetty. Pretty clouds in shades of mango yellow and pinks colour the sky and reflect in the water.
Fighting tiredness I couldn’t resist heading out late last night lured out by clearing skies and occasional stars peeking out. I didn’t have the energy for the long drive in search of dark skies so I just popped down the road to Maryhill to a location on the Port Dundas spur of the Forth & Clyde Canal. I’d visited this spot 3 years ago to check out the fabulous brick building that sits there. The area is called Botany. One internet source says prisoners were loaded on ships here destined for Botany Bay in Australia. Another more prosaic source says the name came about because the locals were all so rough they were felt destined for Botany Bay. The local gang was ‘The Butny’. Sadly the most credited explanation is even duller: a school called The Botany stood in the area. The fabulous brick building on the right was built for Glasgow Lead and Colour Works (Alexander Ferguson and Company). It was on the ‘At risk’ register for several years but in 2019 conversion of the upper floor into residential flats started.
It always feels way scarier standing in populous areas like this with blokes passing by en route to last orders at the bar or the all-night McDonalds rather than some quiet, dark abandoned building...

A few more shots from some recent trips.
Botany Bay on a freezing day in February. Still a lot of walkers and their dogs out enjoying the breeze.
I'd like to say that all compositional elements of this picture were planned although in reality half of it was by accident. I had deliberately set up the 2 primary objects (the sea stack and the tide pool) in a counterpoint relationship on the opposing thirds. Only in the editing process did I notice that there is also a visual vortex with all lines leading to the distant cloud in somewhat of a vanishing point.

[I spent my entire evening after work creating this image (posting at nearly 2:30 a.m.). I ventured to my forest, harvested loads of moss and ferns, and then drove to three additional locations to harvest more plants. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I was reminded why I love photography so much and am so passionate about it--obsessed, even. I can turn my bathroom into a jungle. My bedroom into a garden. My living room into a galaxy. I can escape.

My earliest childhood memories are of the leafless, stout-branched, and almost terrifying silhouettes of bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa).
In my young mind's eye, these great trees were always set against the ever-changing panorama of the winter sky. They were, and thankfully still are, a common sight on my native ground, northeastern Illinois.
With its wide-spaced and contorted limbs, this most cold-hardy of the North American oaks is the lord of the Upper Midwestern landscape.
