Hellebore

Translucent canal water really shows off the algae, with plenty of colour and detail present.

The forces of winter have nearly dissolved this leaf's lamina, leaving the rib and veins like a skeleton on the crystals of melting snow.

we ended our trip at our dear friend's house in Toronto. While the kids bonded over video games, I found moments of inspiration in their back yard. i took so many photos! but these are the best and I love sharing them with you!

I was yelling at him "Are her eyeballs looking at you!! Make sure you're at the level of her eyeballs!"

Waiting at a traffic light , I noticed this beautiful translucent color spot in the clouds.

Dedicated to my friend, dardilrocks...

Thank you my friend, for showing me so many of nature's wonders hidden inside.

This is shot in macro mode, but the agate chunk is actually quite large. It is perhaps 2 1/2 feet across! I saw this in a wholesale vendor area at the Tucson Electric Park venue, in the 2007 Tucson Rock and Gem Show. The day was overcast and it was the last day of the whole event. To edit this photo, all I needed to do was dust, via the cloning tool. The macro mode on my camera was so good that the tiniest of dust bits were showing on the surface. The translucent areas were wonderful to show the hidden colors deep inside this wonderful specimen.

Just waiting on one more order, then my translucent colour reference table will be complete.

Ever since a photography teacher named Paul Johnson taught me years ago to look for back lit or side lit objects against dark backgrounds, I go looking for things like this. One of the nice things about November is that the sun is much lower in the sky, and the opportunity for natural lighting like this is much greater. I saw this beautiful plant at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park.

Other pictures taken at Safari Park are here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628351207247/...

This looks decent when viewed large. Press "L" to see it that way.

It was too warm to take just pictures in my room so I went to the bathroom and had a cold shower. These images supposed to be just a test on how the combination of wet white spandex and the fishnet tights will look like. Because it was not intended to create a gallery from this test, I was a bit too lazy about the lighting. But the wet white spandex and the fishnet tights on top of black a zentai looked better than I first expected and so on the spur of the moment I took more pictures. Now, you can have a peek into this cooling shower test ...

We had a wonderful sunny sunday... spring temperatures! I worked in my garden today. Before cutting away all dry flowers I had to take some last pictures of them... glowing in the sun.

Steel wire, translucent polymer clay and thread. Each flower is about 4"x 1.5"x3/4"
