Cosmo, the BYU mascot, roamed the stands at the BYU softball game. Because few people were there, we got up close and personal with Cosmo.

An early Spring sky over Glade Road Growing and their most recent farm dog, Cosmo. Blacksburg, Virginia
"Glade Road Growing is a small family farm on leased land across the street from the Heritage Park in Blacksburg. We raise certified naturally grown produce and pasture-raised organic-fed meats and eggs. Yes, we raise it right here in the town limits of Blacksburg.
We believe that healthy food can be grown right here and that engaging in organic farming forms lasting connections within our community, improves the soils directly beneath us and strengthens human health. Our farming methods are based on building and maintaining soil health, biodiversity, and community involvement (read: fun). Come by and introduce yourself- we’d love to meet you."

PLEASE, NO GRAPHICS, BADGES, OR AWARDS IN COMMENTS. They will be deleted.
The name "Dachshund" is of German origin and literally translates as "badger dog" as the standard size dachshund had been bred to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling creatures. The miniature Dachshund was bred to hunt smaller prey such as rabbits.

The cosmo under a streetlight is sleeping anyway. It's rhythms are not fooled by artificial light, and it requires no artificial light to avoid pillage by neighbors. No cosmo ever engaged in murder or mayhem, larceny or vandalism. It grows where it's planted.
Or maybe we have to allow for competition with its neighbors for light, air, nutrients, water, and pollination. Nature is yellow in bloom and leaf before it is full and fruitful.
This competition, though, it only does by realizing its own inherent potential for height, breadth, depth, brightness and beauty, not by malice. Not even in willful ignorance.
And we are only learning the ways that plants sometimes help each other albeit with an equal ignorance.
And isn't it true that humans usually do better when they act more this way — not ignorantly — but with at worst a kind of absence of comparison — just realizing as best they can their inherent potential for height, depth, breadth, brightness and beauty.
What is written in the cosmo is written in the cosmos! From seed back to ground we are all here to be what we truly are. How much suffering is caused by failure to consider the cosmos of the local butterfly garden? For something that we cannot fail to do, our minds sometimes trouble us and via that inner turmoil also trouble our neighbors far too much as we all quest for roots and light.
A little bit of technical stuff
To me that is what is interesting about art — the viewer's meditative response. But here's some technical stuff too because so many of us also enjoy that.
This was taken with the TT Artisan 50mm f/1.2 wide open. I was using the Nikon 6T and 5T to get closer focus without losing light as I would with an extension tube. That was important because…
It was midnight! The only light was a streetlight not shining directly on the flower but directly on the street. The butterfly garden where this flower grows is at the base of a light pole. This aspect of more recent digital cameras is so incredible. I was able to take this without a tripod, without stabilization of any kind, without a flash, in the penumbra of a streetlight… at midnight!
Nor was I maxing out the ISO. Auto ISO just bumped it to 5000 in order to give me a fast enough shutter speed for hand holding the camera with a 50mm lens.
I haven't seen this tested, but the TT Artisan 50mm f/1.2 seems to have a higher transmission (t-stop) value than the 7Artisans 50mm f/0.95 (which is also an awesome lens). I don't think that this is mislabelling the f-stop. The 7Artisans could, I think, achieve marginally thinner depth of field at a given subject distance. Instead I think that for some reason the TT lets a little more light through.
