As we walked past these flowers, we kept looking up. But nothing was flowering over head. My friend Don explained that these breathtaking orchid like beauties spring from the earth before the furled leaf ever emerges!
Kaempferia rotunda (blackhorm,Sanskrit: भूमीचम्पा((In Kannada: Nela Sampige)) Hindi: भूमी चम्पा, Malayalam: ചെങ്ങനീർകിഴങ്ങ് / മലങ്കൂവ ) is a spicy plant and is having many medicinal uses in Ayurvedic and allopathic medicinal systems this plant is also called by these names:
Bhumi champa, Indian crocus, Peacock ginger and Round-rooted galangale.
Kaempferia rotunda is found in various parts of India and adjoining regions but seldom in the wild. The plant is groomed in small herbal nurseries for applications in medicine preparation.
As its Sanskrit name 'bhoomi champa' (bloom from within earth) implies, the indigo colored flower shoots right from within the soil. In fact, the flower emerges much in advance of the whitish leafy shoot. Both flower and leaf are never seen at the same time.
Kaempferia rotunda, Zingiberaceae
Delicate Arch is a 65-foot (20 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, United States.[1] It is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch.

Today I'm thankful for a cool day and time to get out and lay on the ground with my camera. I love the delicacy of these little violas and I always love shooting in soft light. I seem to be on a macro kick lately. Sorry about that. I'll try to add a bit more variety. lol

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Houmongi. Houmongi are semi-formal kimono that can be worn by both married and unmarried women. They are characterized by artfully arranged patterns that flow seamlessly across the garment's seams. This kimono displays a delicate pattern of peonies and chrysnathemums on a deep blue background This kimono likely originates in the mid to late Showa Period (1926 - 1989).
I have inspected this kimono in detail, there is a little bit of damage; some slight marks on the exterior and some patina on the white blossoms. There are also a few spots where the dye has bled a little bit, but this likely occurred during the dying process. Overall, I would rate this kimono in good vintage condition. This garment is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:
Length: 159cm
Arm Span: 126cm
Width Across Back: 60cm
Total Width of Skirt: 130cm
Sleeve Drop: 49cm
SIZING
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 149cm (4'11") - 169cm (5'7") tall, with hips about 87cm (34") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

This is a photograph of something that's been called a "dream drop". It's a piece of low-grade crystal cut, shaped, and polished to look like a drop of liquid. Beautiful to look at with light shining through, and very breakable, or delicate.

This one was done as follows:
In Photoshop CS2, I made 4 copies of the original. Then I turned them all off. Starting from the first copy at the bottom (making each visible as I worked on them),
1) inverted + gaussian blur + color dodge blend
2) desaturated + embossed with hard light blend
3) just changed the blend to hard light
4) changed to "color" blend mode at about 65% opacity. (that's the uppermost layer).

After I hiked all day around Arches National Park, I decided to capture the sunset by Delicate Arch. It wasn't what I expected, but the experience still was nice.
