Good Morning!

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on Good Morning!

Have some lavender for this blustery and soon to be rainy morning. This is a favorite kind of day for me, but it does mean my walk will be camera-free.

I’ve started going through my 2014 photos yet again, clearing out what I know to be junk and deleting duplicates (when shooting macro hand-held I tend to click that shutter more than a few times to try and get just the right focus). Sometimes I happen upon something that makes me smile or brings back memories.

This one brings back fragrance!

The “All of It”

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on The “All of It”

I rarely take what I call “all of it” photos when I’m working with flora. With this one, though, I wanted to get it all in case I needed help identifying it. I believe it’s a hibiscus and might even be “Rose of Sharon”. If any reader can confirm that I’d love to hear from you!

I did try getting closer, but this plant was on the other side of a cement wall that bordered someone’s property, and I’m not comfortable going over a wall, even while it would have been easy to get over. I’m not sure anything I shot as I leaned in as far as I could will satisfy me, but I’ll let those shots rest a bit: sometimes I see something in a shot a few days after I’ve done the work, when at first I don’t care for anything at all. (Other times it’s just the opposite though: the longer I wait and look, the less I like something!)
