Bold planting ideas are front and center in the Chicago Botanic Garden's Crescent annual beds, while hundreds of evergreen boxwood give shape to their curves. The evergreens create a mass of green "steps" flanking the eight concentric tiers, which increase in size as they slope gently down to the water's edge. Brick walkways lace through the beds, encouraging visitors to step close to the plants.

Bird and texture are mine. The Japanese calligraphy is public domain: the three on the side are the title, the red signature chop is a half-pig and half-dog and the two above are just partial characters which add up to something like prayer/freedom. I think there is a message in there somewhere but, well I'm just not sure what it is.

Much hand painting.
Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.

One of the aspects of Coastal photography that appeals to me so much is that, if the weather does turn out to be poor, you can switch to abstract, long exposure shots. Here I've used the rock ledge in the background to create a false horizon in an attempt to create the feel of a traditional landscape image.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
Wetland Reflections, Dawn. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Dawn clouds reflected in the surface of a wetland pond, Pacific Flyway, New Year’s Day 2022.
The dawn light is remarkably fleeting. The space between “too early” and “too late” can be extremely small, and on a morning like this one I might have only moments to see what is happening in the sky, find a foreground, create a composition, and make some photographs. When the light arrived and a small group of clouds appeared in the distance, I first worked handheld with a long lens in order to narrow the view and get some flexibility about positioning the tree. Then I grabbed another camera that had a wider angle lens attached, and I made a few photographs that included more sky and water than seen here.
I have photographed in some remarkable landscape, where particular objects demanded attention. But this landscape along the Pacific Flyway is not that sort of place. To be honest, often it can seem plain and even boring. Much of the area is agricultural country, and nearby there are large cattle operations — not the most scenic or pleasant of landscape subjects. But for a few months each winter the fields flood and migratory birds return, and when the conditions are just right magic may happen.
