oh, my …

On Saturday, I found this — whatever it is — growing on an overturned stump in the forest at my university. But on Sunday …

just old leaves …

… on the forest floor at my university.

shredded wheat …

… well, shredded wood, at least.

galvanized …

… steel on a bridge near my house.

community garden IV.

an icy test …

I’m trying a new photo-editing software — ON1. So far, the jury’s out on it. It’s not that intuitive (Denny says after two days), but the trial period is a month. So we’ll see.

arches …

… adrift in snow.

This is a shot Julie Orr took a couple weeks ago on our hike up at Lower Cataract Lake. We took the nice little butterfly on the flower and then started playing with that new software package I mentioned in my last post. What resulted is a bit abstract. And dark. And ominous. And lush. And I just freakin’ love it.

I have to talk Julie in getting serious with a camera. She has an eye.

Two takes on a little flower I found Sunday up at Lower Cataract Lake. The Internet assures me this is a fairy trumpet.
