When I first saw this I thought it was someone spraying live, somewhat in the style of deuce 7, but when I looked closer I saw that it was a paste-up on translucent paper. I think this one looks a bit like the robot from Metropolis.

The friend with whom I was walking said she'd never been so close to a rabbit. I think I probably had . . . but I'd never been so close to a wild rabbit that clearly knew I was there and seemed totally unconcerned. It was on a public hiking trail, and the creatures tend to allow people a bit closer than usual, but this rabbit is too young to be quite this casual and nonchalant. It doesn't yet understand danger well enough to be this careless, and an older rabbit would not have been so casual. It was still in the same place when we returned perhaps twenty minutes later, though this time a family with a small child and a dog were not far behind us, and the rabbit decided it was time to leave.

Best if viewed in LARGE.

I thought I would get away from buildings for a while.

Yankee Springs, Michigan during the Fall is a beautiful place. If you've never been there, I would encourage you to hop in your favorite vehicle and take a tour. The colors, lakes, and scenic roads are great.

A short intermezzo from my "Denver to Seattle" uploads for a macro shot of an European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) from my own backyard.

In about a half hour I took 120 shots of different spiders. After severe selection, only 6 were kept. Not easy to get the focus on the tiny eyes!

These images are all about playing with translucency. The leaf has been placed on a piece of glass put between two tressles. A soft box is used to illuminate the leaf from below, with metering for the light, not the leaf.

I have had a lot of fun with these and will now try a few different scenarios.

Strong sunlight (a rare commodity in Whaley Bridge in February!) passes through the overlapping petals and folded leaf of this beautiful tulip, creating an attractive variety of tones and revealing shadows which hint at the hidden reproductive parts of the flower on the inside.
