Abstract Lilies 3
This is a red Asiatic Lily. Unlike the two previous installments – about which you could readily identify the flowers as lilies – this one is truly abstract. The extreme macro shows off the texture of the petals. The image has an almost sculptured quality. The Asiatic lilies, with the Oriental lilies, are the two…

Red Ranunculus
A Friday flower… Red Ranunculus. The ranunculus genus contains well over a thousand species, found all over the world in temperate and mountainous regions. The most well known naturally occurring is the buttercup. Full-flowered extravagant versions as this one are cultured and popular flowers in the flower trade. All ranunculus are poisonous – flower and…

Monday Monochrome – Lilies
Something a little different for Monday Monochrome this week… It’s not black-and-white, but it is monochrome, toned a little differently. I think it suggests a different view of, maybe a different insight into, these lilies.

One Four Challenge – Acoma NM -Week 4
This is Variation 4 of the Acoma New Mexico series. As the final variation in the series, perhaps it is appropriate that this variation sees night setting in over the Acoma pueblo. All of this week’s editing was done with Luminar Neo. As a reminder, in the One Four Challenge, we select a photo each…

Flower of the Week – Red Dahlia
I found this unusual dahlia growing in a neighbor’s garden, and I was intrigued by its appearance. The flower did not seem similar to what I’d come to think of as traditional dahlia flowers, which usually boast a compact shape, neat arrangement, and curled petals that create a tidy look. Further research revealed that there…

This week’s Monday Monochrome is California’s “High Country,” in the San Gabriel Mountains. The San Gabriels, among the most rugged of California’s lie due north of Los Angeles, separating the Los Angeles Basin and the Mohave Desert. The highest peak is Mt. San Antonio, in the distance in the center of the photo, also known…
