bloom shots

Get well soon.

Sunflower shot at night (or evening)

Glads on the kitchen island

I think this is at Mike and Lisa's house in Arusha.

Begonia at Como (I think)

rain on Tainter

Kathy took a picture of raindrops falling on the water in a swamp in Louisiana which inspired me to take these while it was raining (still) today. I think there is nothing anyone can do to make Tainter Lake as romantic as a swamp in Louisiana.

Even sitting on our new deck on the new wrought iron bench doesn't change the green-sludge view.

It's series like this that really make me wish for a camera that I can focus - takes forever to get it to focus where I want it to. Manual digital focus is only as useful as far as I can tell when the pixels seem to be the clearest.

bee-rated sunflower

The bumble bee appeared to be a bit damp. We've been happy for the rain, but we've been a bit damp for about 5 days now.
