This buttercup meadow was a challenge to shoot. I tried all sorts of combinations of longer lens wide open, stopped way down for maximum depth of field, wide angle, and with different points of focus - and none are exactly what I wanted. It's hard to convey the vast amount of yellow flowers without it looking flat and amateurish. It was a pleasant place to be anyhow.

Not sure there is anything better than a sunny spring meadow full of wildflowers. This one, near Rimrock Lake in Southern WA, was filled with Camas.
Part of the asparagus family, Cams bulbs are edible and when baked they apparently taste like a sweet potato. Keep an eye on the flower color though, the white petaled "Death Camas" are similar in form but also toxic.

Every day scientists use their computer models to generate a view of the sun's magnetic field (Aug. 10, 2018). We took the opportunity to compare an extreme ultraviolet view of the sun with the same image showing the superimposed field lines. The bright active region right at the central area of the sun clearly shows a concentration of field lines, as well as the small active region at the sun's right edge, but to a lesser extent. Magnetism drives the dynamic activity near the sun's surface. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
More photos from my visit to the tulip fields on Sunday. A row of tulips stretching on into forever.
Pantry Pride and J. M. Fields Discount store in Burlington, N.J. Since both were owned by Food Fair they were usually located together in this arrangement and you could pass through between stores from inside. Photo from 01-28-79 Burlington County Times.
About The Series:
Real Life Pokemon (RLP) is an exercise in the continued effort for me as an artist to develop a style within the realm of photo-manipulation. With this and the ones soon to come, I attempt to create a hybrid accurate-realistic approach, somewhere between the actual game/anime characters and realistic animals.
Perhaps more interestingly, this series was originally going to be much more violent, pitting Pokemon against Pokemon in what I envisioned as "Michael Vick's Pokefights." Pokemon seems, after all, a lot more like fantasy dog fighting than bug collecting, but that joke is getting old now.

up close they are of many shapes and forms; each unique in their own way, but from a distance they all seem to blend into one - leaving a collective yellow tint on the world
Location: Santorini, Greece
These wild daisies bloomed every where we went in Santorini. At the furthest point of IA, in between white and blue houses with the Mediterranean behind was a small field of daisies - perfect for frolicking.

I just saw this huge ripening corn field while being on a bicycle trip, so I took a shot of the distinctive poppy flower that was literally shining out of the whole field.
