Icy Abstractions
Autumn Surprise
My surprising little visitor catching bright, but meager sun rays at the end of the season. 🐞🍂
Impressions of Autumn
Multicolor, impressionistic abstractions of Nature's last dance before a long stretch of wintry slumber. 🍃🍂
Infinity in Yellow 🌼
Fade into Gold
Purple, Violet, and Lilac
I was about to write some pretentious statement about the beauty of nature in the summer as seen through the macro lens, but I might as well tell the truth: if it's purple (lilac, violet--you get the idea), then I'll photograph it! I am allowed to just like a color without rhyme or reason! 😉
Morning Dew
I am a staunch night owl living the forced lifestyle of a lark. And yet, there are some inadvertent benefits to having your dog drag you out first thing in the morning--before you're even capable of fully opening your eyes, let alone functioning: rich dew on grass, for instance. And, as I'm blinded by its diamond-like quality, I'm forced to open my eyes after all, run back inside and grab my macro lens. This is the result. 💦🌞
