just love the super shallow DOF with the 50mm, and how the background just dissolves into nothingness... lovely.

I've tried to keep my wide angle lens off my camera over the holidays (it seems to have been ever present since summer!) I really wanted to try out some different things... this is one of the kids christmas stocking fillers...
Thanks for all the messages re my last upload.

Can't you just imagine that barrel of booze swinging around her neck while she's on her way up the mountain to aid a fallen skier??? Ok, well it's summer and she's hanging in her backyard instead. She's a year old and a rescue dog! She lives with a family and another St. Bernard who is 13yrs old and another rescue. (Good people!) I had a lot of fun with this big girl!
Still life with dandelions, string and terracotta pots. That's about the extent of my gardening skills.
My story about tracing a flower to the final apple crumble took a dramatic turn a few weekends back - the initial flower/apple I traced fell victim to playtime in the garden :-O
I could now of course start another story about following the decomposition of that apple but I wanted to stick with my initial plan. So the apple in the photo is unfortunately not the same I photographed before but it is in the same area of the tree (1 branch to the left to be precise).
As you can see, the apples are growing nicely and for a while now the weight made them turn upside down - isn't it weird that our view of an apple is actually upside-down? I never really thought about it .... the remains of the flower can still be seen at the bottom of the fruit and as you all know will still be there once the apple is ripe...let's see if there is more drama ahead or if this one makes it into the crumble.....
To check the progress of the story of the apple crumble please have a look into my album 'Apple Crumble in the Making - The Full Story'
The odd, orange stems of a Spotted Coralroot orchid (Corallorhiza maculata) hold delicate flowers in the montane pine forests west of Boulder, Colorado. There are at least two species of Coralroot orchid growing in these woods, and this one is the most common. The Coralroot orchids are obligate parasites, stealing all of the energy they need for growth from surrounding networks of mycorrhizal fungi - specialized fungi that themselves form interactions with tree roots to get their energy in exchange for nutrients.
