In my home landscaping. Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
A few times when I was trying to photograph the pileated woodpeckers or the barred owls, I'd see a plant that I wanted to try to photograph. Rather than switch to the macro lens setup that I usually use to take flower photos, I'd keep my long lens setup (300mm + 1.4x extender) on the camera and use it. The results were often better than I expected.
"when i was supposed to be awake, i was asleep; when i was supposed to speak, i was silent; when a pleasure offered itself to me, i avoided it. my hunger, my thirst, my loneliness and boredom and fear were all weapons aimed at my enemy, the world."
The Story Behind The Photo:
It was the summer of 1982.
The grim spectre of Bankruptcy was closing in fast.
My credit cards were almost totally maxed out
and with the remaining credit on my last card
I bought a low cost particle board ping pong table,
and put it in the driveway behind the house.
I knew it wouldn't last any more than a year
if it was going to be stored outside,
but that was all I could get with the plastic I had.
Joey, Vince, and Ray were all worthy players,
and the summer went by quickly.
We were playing some extreme good pong,
in perfectly clear weather, never expecting rain...
We went inside for water, and when we came out,
this is exactly what we saw!
It was just one of those "Kodak moments".
Drove up on these two lions having a date and soaking up the heat of the day from the road at sunset. She didn't like me interrupting her romantic conversation.

An old recliner sitting in the empty living room of a derelict house in Marietta Ohio. Finding the shoes like this is a bit bizarre as it looks as though whoever owned them got up and left in a hurry.
I'm not sure why this image turned out so grainy as the others are nothing like this particular one. Perhaps I did disturb something?
Interrupted fern (Osmunda claytoniana) gets its common name from the brown fertile leaflets, which "interrupt" the green sterile leaflets on the larger fronds.
The ferns in this photo were transplanted from our woods. Growing to a height of about 4 ft (1.3 meters) this native fern works well as a back drop for white and pink bleeding-hearts in a garden bed at Distant Hill Gardens.
The piercing stare of this young girl makes the photographer's intrusion on the scene all the more obvious. The group is praying at St Columcille's Well in Dublin.

Vitra Campus - Weil am Rhein (Germany) - VITRAHAUS
Herzog & de Meuron, 2010. As the purpose of the VitraHaus is to display home furnishings, the architects of the VitraHaus, Herzog & de Meuron, took up the idea of the "archetypal house", as the proportions and dimensions of the rooms bring to mind residential space that is familiar to us - the architects use the term "domestic scale". The individual "houses" which have the general characteristics of a showroom are with few exceptions glazed at the gable ends only. Superimposed in five storeys and overhanging in some cases by up to 15 metres, the twelve houses which each intersect the gables of the storey below create an almost chaotic whole.
From 1955 to 1981, the Vitra site in Weil am Rhein saw the successive addition of various manufacturing and warehouse structures that yielded a somewhat coincidental and improvised architectural composite. In 1981, most of these buildings were destroyed by a major fire.
Although insurance funds only covered a six-month interruption in production, the company did not wish to settle for anonymous standardized industrial structures or a solution with temporary facilities. The architecture was to be functional and offer a pleasant work environment while also fulfilling aesthetic requirements. Assigned to the architect Nicholas Grimshaw, this first project was followed by further buildings over the years, resulting in a heterogeneous ensemble of contemporary architecture: the Vitra Campus.
Vitra stands for an architectural concept that unites buildings by some of the most influential architects in the world at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) by Frank Gehri and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany). We have here buildings of Jean Prouvé, Buckminster Fuller, Frank Gehri, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Zaha Hadid, Sanaa and Herzog and De Meuron
The Archeological site of Herculaneum (in Italian: Scavi di Ercolano) is the area south of the town centre of modern Ercolano opened on the Roman town of Herculaneum that was destroyed and buried by lava and mud during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79 together with Pompeii, Stabiae and Oplontis. In 1997 was listed in the World Heritage Site of UNESCO. Although Herculaneum was discovered before Pompeii, the excavation was very hard so that was repeatedly interrupted in favour to the easier excavation of Pompeii. They are smaller and less famous than Pompeii, but better preserved due to the different materials that covered the town: in fact, in Herculaneum there are many wooden remains (doors, furniture, beams) and organic goods (fruit, bread, seeds, cordage) that in Pompeii were burnt and many buildings still keep the upper floor entirely or partially. The area unveils only one quarter of the entire ancient town because the other parts still lay down beneath the modern Ercolano.
Today the archaeological site is visited by some 300.000 tourists every year: in 2012, it recorded 288.536 visitors and was the 16th more visited monument in Italy.
Mother Great Horned Owl feeds her owlets, but is interrupted by a photographer getting too close to the nest. I was standing back over a hundred feet with my telephoto, but a couple people were pushing their luck (and mom's patience).

(NOTE: map location is not accurate due to the sensitivity of this nest site)
A mated pair of Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) have used this broken cactus (it's missing its center column) as a nest site for at least the last eight years. Our great horned owls are one of the earliest birds to nest-- beginning around mid-late February with owlets hatching around mid-late March or the first week of April. The female will sit on her eggs for approximately 30-35 days before they hatch; during this time, the male will bring food for her.
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics."
Still need a proper microphone...
(But it does sound way better if you listen through headphones)

i think Maitlda's main goal for making a snow angel is to gather up as much snow as possible between her legs and then complain about her pants being cold.
We spotted this interrupted fern in St. Louis County, Minnesota. Native to much of the eastern U.S. and eastern Canada.
