A series of random photos while in the house and garden under lock-down restrictions.
Looking down the stem of a small sipping glass. Taken with a Canon 60mm USM Macro lens. Type L for a better view.
Our Daily Challenge - Fill the Frame - 2/17/12
This was my first published photo. I am not counting the high school football photo I took in 1965 that got into our local paper; this was different. It was a co-winner in a monthly magazine photo contest (Photo Canada magazine, long gone). And I was paid for it ($30). My first three photo submissions to magazines were published; I thought I was hot stuff. Then the rejections began coming back and I realized this was going to be tougher than I'd expected.
Forty years and a couple thousand published photos later, the ego boost of seeing my name in print is gone, but every accepted photo is nevertheless an affirmation. I have photos for a story (written by my friend Judith Wright) coming out in Prairies North magazine in December, including the cover shot. Always nice to get a cover!
This old photo... I would probably shoot it a little differently today, but still, I think it holds up. Hundreds of tiny bubbles and the stem of a maple leaf frozen in ice. The camera was a Pentax Spotmatic, the lens a 100 mm macro. (Note: not 105 mm. Pentax had to be different. They were also making screw mount bodies and lenses when nearly every other camera designer had gone over to bayonet.)

Flower stems and leaf stems, that all stemmed from the garden, all sitting in a long stemmed wine glass.

I photographed this scene in the early afternoon light while visiting Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL. I love all the stems and beautiful vibrant flowers as the sun highlighted them.

Educated as a biologist and natural scientist, herman de vries has been working for more than sixty years on an uncommonly versatile oeuvre in which art, science and philosophy are juxtaposed with the reality of the world. His focus stems from natural processes and phenomena, presented by him as the primary, physical reality in which human existence is rooted. de vries gathers, orders, isolates and displays objects from nature, directing our attention to both the oneness and the diversity of the world surrounding us. The strength and richness of de vries’ oeuvre stems from the biotope that he has developed in his hometown of Eschenau (Germany)and the places he visited during his travels, including Venice.
The open, transparent and spatially poetic character of the Dutch pavilion in the Giardini in Venice built by Rietveld in 1954 symbolizes the rational and optimistically progressive way of thinking that prevailed during the first half of the Twentieth Century. The work of herman de vries, made from organic and natural materials counters this notion and attests to the idea that processes and phenomena in nature are too complex to explain in a rational manner.
The title of the exhibition to be all ways to be, expresses the idea that the experience of and reflection on human existence takes many divergent paths, none of which is superior or inferior to the other. Experienced through the eye, ear, body and nose, the works within the pavilion, the Giardini and at different locations within the Venetian Lagoon, will question existing definitions and positions with regard to nature and culture.
This one comes with an apology to all Flickr friends who first became contacts when they saw coastal views, crashing waves or mountains on my 'stream. A few factors have been keeping me close to home lately, but I will get out more soon ...
Meanwhile, when sorting a cupboard yesterday, I saw these colours together. The orange bowl was a Habitat cheap buy several years ago, and yes, it is wonky :)
Surely one of the most alien-looking plants on the planet!
This is in the Temperate House at Kew Gardens.

Thanks for looking!

Something simple. The stems are just as nice as the flowers, aren't they!
The milk bottle is being used as a vase!
These hairy stems emanate out of the potted soil and into the air, supporting both leaves and blossoms. I opened up my aperture to a rare f/32 in order to maximize focus depth. Until I saw them through my lens, I had no idea that the stems were so covered in dainty hair!
