I noticed the unfolding petals in the centre of this apricot rose looks like the shutters of a camera aperture.

Variegated Rose taken at the International Rose Garden, Adelaide Botanical Garden during my last visit to Adelaide.

I was surprised how this image turned out. It was just past noon and it was very bright with the overhead sun.

I used a plastic shower cap ( my improvised filter ) which fit nicely into my open palm in one hand to block the sunlight and I took the picture with the other hand.

Thanks for viewing and commenting everyone ..

Believe it or not...there is a fence in there. All those flowers and vines are growing near/on a chain link fence.

This was at the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, MA. What a beautiful area. It's an old bridge that they covered in a stunning flower garden and made into a walking path. No longer used for vehicles.

"Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve."

(Naomi Klein)

A shot from La Grange, Texas. So different from the hill country where I live. But, still pretty in its own way.

I signed up with Airbnb and I have my first people coming on Friday. However, I have discovered a down side to Airbnb. They report all your income to the IRS..;( I didn't see that coming. So, I'm still listing room mate wanted in the newspapers..:).

Friday Sunrise.

My shift doesn't start until 3 today, so I went out this morning to get some morning shots. I was so upset with myself for remembering everything except my tripod..:( Sometimes I hate my life. Anyway, I turned up the ISO and got a few good shots. Sand Castle shot coming soon..:)
