Challenge 116: FLORA & LOW CONTRAST

last time I was in Toronto...

MY STYLE CARD

Been outdoors for some shooting and stumbled across this litlle blossom. I took a closup image and the light behind the blossom did the job very well. I`ve been once again impressed about the nature of mother earth!

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

MY STYLE CARD

This fox grew up next door. Its daily path became predictable.We were hidden in the garage to get a closeup and she heard us breathing, stopped, and looked over. Then we snapped this shot. This turned out to be about the last time she appeared in daylight, hunting in nighttime now nightly.

One from last year with Andy Harris. haven't posted one for awhile and thought my photostream could do with some colour.

Dragonflies are usually found around water such as lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as 'nymphs', are aquatic.

I left my lawn run wild for "no mow May" and a fair few of these popped up. Lady's smock is another label - I love wildflower names.

I used my "new" used EF40mm f2.8 and my first impressions are - it's a cracker! Also my first post using the Raynox closeup thingy.

This is a photo of patterns in the ice that formed in shallow channels beside the river.
