Nominated for the “Pay it forward” group by Patricia L. Ballard who had this to say about it: / “She’s made something of incredible beauty out of the inside of a mushroom cap. The colour, composition, and lines are all just amazing.” Thankyou Patricia and everyone for your wonderful comments and support. I am so very pleased that so many have gained pleasure from this image.
This is a composite photo taken in Shalimar, FL near the edge of the bay. It was a glorious summer night. I applied the NIK skylight filter to deepen the reds in the picture. I also shot the sun on the same night to the west of the bank. I’ve combined them for a rich summer night shot. / / Click on the buy/preview button to see the many RedBubble print options for this photo.

“There are two things parents should give their children: roots and wings. Roots to give them bearing and a sense of belonging, but also wings to help free them from constraints and prejudices and give them other ways to travel, or rather, to fly.” / - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Canon 50d. / 17-85 IS USM

Taken in macro from behind and underneath the flowers. The vase holding them is sitting directly in front of a window and hence the white light around it. It’s my personal favourite from my flowers macro, only because I think that the whole back lit from the front makes it different and interesting. I am learning a lot from taking lots of shots and seeing the results!

It was a clear and windy day at the Huntington Beach Pier. Very few people were out (a rarity) but I caught the young man fishing from the pier. Shot with a Nikon D200. FEATURED IN: Black and White Photography ~ sincere thanks to the hosts! Could be paired with

Gary and I went to Mt Evans on memorial Day weekend, but the weather wasn’t cooperative (almost whiteout conditions around Summit Lake) and we only saw a single pika (well, we weren’t sure he was single – he could have been married, but he was the only one we saw). This was the only pika I saw today who was cooperative enough to pose for me. I do like the back lighting. As they don’t hibernate, they must spend their brief summers gathering grasses and plants. When they gather plants, they stack them into tiny hay bales to dry in the sun, then store them for the winter. In larger pika communities, it’s not unusual for there to be disputes over ownership of the hay bales. These noisy conflicts are at times exploited by nearby predators. Pikas are another species (like marmots) that are considered altruistic – they selflessly keep themselves in danger to bark out a warning to neighbors. They also bark out a warning if you get too close to their little hay bales. They emit a surprisingly loud “EENK!!!” if you get too close. Pikas are endangered due to climate change. They’re considered a “canary in the coal mine” species and are very susceptible to climbing temperatures and seem to be moving to higher and higher altitudes to escape the heat. But there’s a limit to how high they can climb (eventually they run out of mountain). And because of the higher temperatures, they can’ t migrate to a higher peak as that would mean descending to a lower (and hotter) environment to do so.

This image looks exactly the way it felt to capture it! The moss is real, the camera is upright. The slope extends downward at exactly the same precarious angle for a good few hundred metres, and I was wearing the wrong shoes. This is in Central Victoria, Australia.
The fine detail of the back lit leaf from my favorite Strelitzia plant caught my eye today – another earlier shot of its flower is here
A backlit waterfall in the very scenic Emerald Pools area of Zion National Park in Utah, This image was captured while hiking in April of 2008 and a park ranger informed me that the falls were flowing as heavily as he had seen in many years. This is surely an area in Zion not be missed, especially in early spring.
My youngest daughter, Mila (again). From the same shoot as Mila but different post processing used. Canon 400D, taken using natural light. /
