OH MY GOODNESS, EXPLORE #20?? wow thank you all so much :D
Doors are the bridges to opportunities. Catching up on my 52 weeks!
So this is my first levitation shot! I am pretty happy with how it turned out, tell me what you guys think!
I need to get out and shoot more, I've been so busy. I'm so glad that I got to set aside homework and just focus on photography for once. I feel like if you love something enough, you would always find time for it.
ps. a frog jumped on me today and landed on my head. I was so freaked out i jumped around and screamed like a crazy person! :P
The Chive plants produce a large amount of nectar and are a favourite with bees, but they are repulsive to many insects in general due to their sulphur compounds. They are ‘herbs’ and are used in cooking, the green stalks and unopened immature flower buds are diced and used as an ingredient in many dishes hot and cold, also the chive plant has insect repelling properties that can be used in gardens as a pest control.
The American White Pelicans have officially arrived in Eastern Nebraska. Happy we are on their annual migration path. Five of them were in a tight flying formation. Springtime is like an unopened package. You never know from day to day what you might find.

The box unopened is 2.25" W. Partially opened as shown it's 2.625" W. Image width is 2.82" W.
Pink azalea blooms. Some minimal editing / cropping. Background is a light overcast sky.
My intent was to capture the existing blooms on this lone branch, and more particularly the three flowers in the foreground that were about to bloom as well as the associated greenery.
I went back and forth trying to decide if I wanted a bit more focus on the open blooms behind or the closed blooms and leaves / greenery in front, and ultimately opted for the latter as the unopened blooms represent the beauty of anticipation and patience.
Found this beauty of an unopened iris in our front garden today, before we headed out to the landscape centre. My initial thoughts were that it reminded me of a tricorn hat (My Hat, It Has Three Corners) or the Starfleet symbol.
The building in the middle with the unopened storefront appears to be from 1748. You can see a few other buildings have years on them, too, which I think is neat. Maybe if buildings in Toronto had the years posted prominently on them, people would cherish them a bit more, and they wouldn't be demolished and turned into condos at such an ill-planned rate, given the surrounding road and grocery store infrastructure.
On another note, yesterday (December 2nd, 2022) was the day that I've lived in Ontario longer than I lived in my home province of Newfoundland. My life has been easily divided into "before" and "after" the big move...and now, the "after" has become longer than the "before".

By the time the torrential downpour stopped, the storm had moved across Lake Ontario, over Rochester. I was hoping to catch bigger, closer bolts but had to settle for these little ones along the horizon.Until the lighting lit up the sky, it was absolutely black out.
After playing with this shot I was going to upload an SOOC, but my granddaughter insisted I use this poster-like one.

'STILL ... AT LAST.'
At the end of an absorbing day watching and trying to photograph these highly charged little butterflies, my wish eventually came true. Their energy levels dropped noticeably, in line with the temperature by late afternoon. They started to perch for longer intervals.
This pristine male flew to a patch of Rose-bay Willow Herb and perched on a spike of unopened flowers. Perfect ... and by approaching very carefully I was able to get close and make some images. Afterwards, I retreated just as carefully and left it enjoying the sun.

The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower).
Chrysanthemums are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by the year 1630. The plant is renowned as one of the Four Gentlemen in Chinese and East Asian art. The plant is particularly significant during the Double Ninth Festival. The flower may have been brought to Japan in the eighth century AD, and the Emperor adopted the flower as his official seal. The "Festival of Happiness" in Japan celebrates the flower.

The open book:
A Dog of Flanders
by Ouida (Maria Louise Rame)
Written in 1872
Donohue Brothers was an American book publishing company based in Chicago, founded in 1900 but ended circa 1901.
No publishing date in book.
I probably bought this at a local (Chicago)
antique/resale shop.
And if you’re still reading, this is one my own textures, made from some of my sheet music.
I picked these as unopened buds yesterday and this morning under the skylight in the kitchen they were a bouquet.

The unopened flower buds have an almost sinister look to them, but the opened flowers are so beautiful!
