Glads

Gladiolas which I photographed at my sisters house a week ago.

Hot Pink

A close up of one of the cliff dwelling flowers from Upper Treman State Park.

Face Value

These flowers were growing on the face of a cliff in Upper Treman State Park.

Flowers At The Plant Nursery

Tried to get as many colors in as tight a shot as possible. I think I did well.

Pink

Group shot.

Beauty And Waste

Garbage and flowers, what a combination.

A Weeping Flower

I drew this on the stick and then carved it out. It is now painted with gold petals except for the one falling petal which is heart shaped, painted red like a drop of blood. I will design a few more similar to this on other sticks someday because it symbolizes loss of love. yeah, I know, sappy. Of course this was pre sanding and using finishing tools. This was the rough – out I made. And the heart is broken. The crease in the heart was also redefined as I progressed.

Antennae Man

Cool antennae on this dude.

Carol’s Cosmos

These flowers were in a friends yard, fair game for a photo.

Dandelions and Clouds

A cloudy day near a lake, white dandelions and a breeze. Now if winter would end I can get back out and get more photos like this.

Antennae Head

This guy was searching for a good signal with this wonderful rack of antennae. I got him just right with the cloud to bring out the sharpness.

Thistles and Lake

I love the color I got in this shot of thistles in the foreground of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, NY.

The Beauty of Death

This was one of my favorite sunflower photos. The black & white did justice to the last days this sunflower lived. It’s head was heavy with seed and its leaves were drying out. I like to think that even in death a sunflower can be beautiful.

A Dark View On Color

A group of color in amongst dark background.

Flowers For The Ladies

A colorful bouquet.

Sunflower Two

I had a great day with a tripod and sunshine when I shot these sunflowers. Maybe they will brighten up my blog page. :^} Good day everyone.
