The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is an American biplane formerly used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman, or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS and N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civilian market. In the immediate postwar years, they became popular as crop dusters and sports planes, and for aerobatic and wing walking use in air shows. wikipedia

This is a variation on this shot.. I monochromized it and leveled the plane. Frankly, I liked the original one, but I like this even more. And there's a lot more story to go with this if you haven't seen / read the original.

I was supposed to be doing yard work - instead I decided to procrastinate:)
Please feel free to visit my portfolio to see more of my photography or to purchase prints.
Another attempt at macro photography using the Poco F3 phone. This time from below on a Forbes' glory-of-the-snow (Scilla forbesii) in our garden.

Wandering around the Seattle Center on a foggy night with my tripod. And oddly enough, I was the only photographer there. Weird.

The Morton Arboretum has a public art presentation called Human+Nature. I generally don't like to take pictures of these kinds of installations. But as I was walking past this one, studiously avoiding photographing it, the blue sky surrounding the warm tones of the wood caught my eye. I violated my principles and took the picture.
AND, I also took a context picture so you could see more than just the...head.

You may also notice that I've done a little "enhancement."

We have had some incredibly dark nights recently; you can always see the stars as long as the clouds don't obscure them, but the other night it was insane how bright the Milky Way was as it stretched across the sky. This was my first time shooting it, and while I still ended up with a bit of camera shake, I was pretty happy with the results.
Coming up from our beach walk we spotted a bus with a mother and daughter having pizza on top of it. Quirky to say the least. Mike is on the right hand side while I am still below on the beach.
This was supposed to be last weeks submission for the 52 Weeks for Dogs group but again, time got away from me...

This is banana flower seen from below :) I took this photo in the botanical garden in La Orotava. There were som kinds of banana plants :)
The banana is an edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa, of the family Musaceae, one of the most-important fruit crops of the world. The banana plant is a tree-like perennial herb. It is an herb because the aerial parts of the parent plant die down to the ground after the growing season. Bananas are thought to have been first domesticated in southeast Asia. The banana is grown in the tropics, and, though it is most widely consumed in those regions. The banana plant is a gigantic herb that springs from an underground stem, or rhizome, to form a false trunk 3–6 metres (10–20 feet) high. After a plant has fruited, it is cut down to the ground, because each trunk produces only one bunch of fruit. The dead trunk is replaced by others in the form of suckers, or shoots, which arise from the rhizome at roughly six-month intervals.

Tak wygląda kwiat bananowca widziany od spodu :) Zdjęcie robiłam w ogrodzie botanicznym w La Orotavie. Było tam kilka rodzajów bananowców, niektóre z nich kwitły i owocowały :)
Banan zwyczajny, banan właściwy, (Musa paradisiaca) – gatunek rośliny jednoliściennej należący do rodziny bananowatych (Musaceae), powszechnie uprawiany dla owoców. Choć bananowce pokrojem przypominają drzewa, są jednak bylinami. Banan zwyczajny jest prawdopodobnie mieszańcem dwóch gatunków dzikich: Musa acuminata oraz Musa balbisiana. Ojczyzną tych gatunków i ich hybryd jest prawdopodobnie podpaństwo Indomalajskie. Nie stwierdzono występowania banana zwyczajnego w stanie dzikim. Uprawiany jest w rejonach tropikalnych i subtropikalnych. Banan zwyczajny rozmnaża się wegetatywnie poprzez kłącza. Roślina kwitnie i wytwarza owoce tylko raz, po czym zamiera; kwitnienie i owocowanie następuje po 2 latach od zasadzenia.
