Beach Rose with Fly
I thought it was time to bring back a little bit of color, after the nearly monochromatic paving stones. This was taken on a walking path above the beach in Rockport, MA, on a hazy spring day
Floreta: One Euro
From one of the many market stalls on Las Ramblas in Barcelona. The flowers are dried and dyed, and packaged in paper cones. We saw these over an over in Barcelona, but nowhere else in Spain.
Salmon and Yellow: Abstract
This is another shot of the odd salmon flower from the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. I like the absraction of this shot, with the two mottled yellow flowers in the background.
Cropped Dogwood 2
Another dogwood shot. There will be more to come…
Hazy Stems
Another impromptu still life, taken with grainy B & W.
Red Tulips on Denim
When I was in college, I was lucky enough to take a year off, and spend half of it living in England. This shot was taken in my aunt’s back yard, using my denim shirt as a backdrop.
Red Gerbera, Blue Vase
A morning post today, trying to get back to my regular workday routine. This was an impromptu still life in my living room. Gerberas and cobalt blue are two of Dan’s favorite things.
Harkness Mansion
This is the mansion at Harkness State Park. I recently learned that the Harkness family was tied to the Standard Oil Company, which explains the fortune, I guess. I’d like to do a some kind of fiber/mixed media piece based on this image one of these days.
Pair of Star Magnolias
I surely do love the magnolias. They’re starting to bloom again around here, but this shot was taken at the Mendocino Botanical Garden.
