Chedder Pink

Chedder Pink
My lawn guy and friend, Mike, planted these for us last season.  They are blooming beautifully, currently.

Chedder Pink
I am finding that I look for subjects of a certain size currently because they work best with the kind of photography I am doing.  These are made with focus stacks and I enjoy making them.  I put them into a light cube to make these stacks.

XPRO 36 inchx36 inch Studio Photography Light Tent - Dome - Cube - Box from Amazon.com

 

 

 I just purchased a 30" light tent which has openings in two sides so that I can use it in the field and create great light without uprooting the plant.  Added benefits include wind protection.  I like it a lot but I almost wish I had purchased another 20 " version of it because it is limited where I can use it because of the size.

Bugleweed

Bugleweed
I think this plant is considered an "invasive species" at Gorman.  It, non-the-less, has a trendy color and might be appreciated by some of my followers.  Let me know what you think.

Time to Remember Those Who Served

Flag at Sunrise
I personally, would like to express my appreciation to those who served so that I could serve as a teacher.  Families lost husbands, fathers, wives and mothers.  At the least, families suffered separation for too long.  People lost appendages, minds and self respect.  War is a terrible thing and as I age, I increasingly think that it is asking too much of our young people when we send them into harm's way.  We must find another way!

Bowl and Doily

Bowl and Doily Web
I walked out one morning and these were every where.  They were quite visible, being covered with dew droplets.

Bowl and Doily Spider
I was disappointed that the spider was not visible in the first shot so I tried to reproduce it.  The spider was in this one but the dew drops were absent.

Bowl and Doily Spider
I kept wanting the reproduce the first one where the spider was clearly represented but one morning I walked out and the webs were all gone.  Can any of my "spider loving" friends explain that to me?  It seemed they were seasonally too early, also.  Do they eat their webs?
