This Daylily, cultivar 'Becky Lynn', lives in my garden and is gorgeous in color, but its sculptural qualities that are revealed in black & white really captured my imagination.

I have a bit on this afternoon so will catch up with your images as and when I can.

ruffled grouse can typically be approached relatively closely while in the wild....this image was taken within ten yards with snowy background although I will admit their camouflage is amazing....

Thank goodness for macro mondays - I've been meaning to photograph these lovely carnations for a couple of weeks. They seem to have lasted forever!
