Цветение ивы. Крупный план.

Crocosmia fruits (is that the right description?) at F 5.6 and in the shade of the morning. I chose to go for grayscale because it helps to make the 'fruits' stand out (their colour is green and so is most of the background).

Their name comes from the Arabic saqr-et-tair, meaning “hunter bird.” They are native to Africa.

Part of the National Conservation Lands, this headland area is dramatic: waves crashing against basalt sea stacks, harbor seals sunbathing, lots of sea faring birds.

The color contrasts & pure blue skies behind this 1873 lighthouse are what drew me to taking this shot; I was also experimenting with focus, depth-of-field & overall sharpness.

No wonder orchids have become so popular. Once considered difficult to keep, I now have two that seem to be happy in their current position.

I love the intricate composition and have taken many macro shots of the interior, but as this one was illuminated in the morning sunlight coming through the window, I could see an angel emerging.

Kanga was always around me, but since she is smaller than the other squirrels, had to watch out, too (Squirrels-2021-6359.jpg)
