An assortment of nature's oddities. A few resemble manufactured items -- I see a phone, a gaming controller and a sporty steering wheel.

This interesting bug decided to bomb my photo. I think it was a nice addition. The dew was very heavy after the light rain we got yesterday and Ithaca was very foggy this morning.

Here's one plant that produces blossoms that remind me of Spring as opposed to Fall. These are still blooming near the little stream that runs along the north side of our property.

Snow never looked so.....good.

Cintia knizei cinta. Another example of my obsession with textures. Besides photographing plants I also dabble in making costumes. I have been pondering making a dragon costume that is inspired by plants. I could see this as a good texture on the legs. It's the kind of project that I'll likely never actually get around to making but every project has to start with an idea or spark of inspiration so who knows.
