Bato falls in Dolores, Laguna

On the surface of the dark waters, where the stars fell asleep,

Floats Ophelia as a Lily white

Drifting slowly in a transparent veil...

In the hunting horns blowing forest mist.(c) Arthur Rimbaud

Kitchen plant. Aka money plant?

The diverse plants and trees found growing in Joshua Tree National Park, California. Spring was unseasonably cool with thunderstorms in the desert which prompted a quick drive to the park to enjoy and photograph the foreboding storm clouds.

Macro Mondays theme: Fill the Frame (with Plants)

 

I loved doing this theme as our house is filled with so many different varieties of house plants—almost too many to choose from! I found it difficult to choose between them (although now I've posted them both, I know which I'm going to choose). This one is a variety of Calathea. Trying to capture both the wonderful red underneath the leaves and the pattern on the top of the leaves was a challenge.

 

Always appreciate all your comments and favourites, HMM!
