Sunflowers

I like this one. I really shouldn't have been shooting the flowers as I was there for the animals but these were so.... picture perfect!

reflections of me

This was water drops, on a spider web, if you look close you can see my distorted reflection.

Angel Trumpet

It is time for the summer flowers to end if they haven't already. Here I wanted to get the great color of my Angel Trumpet, so one night, me and a flashlight had a date of sorts....

We also hiked up to Hickory Nut Falls, which wasn't falling very much due to local area drought conditions. But it was still cool!

I like doors. They are the entrance to many different places. I saw these red doors and quickly took this shot as we walked by. I didn't notice the 2 green doors till I got home and downloaded my pics...
I wish doors could talk!

I took this outside with my cam on a pod, a flash w/extension and gold reflector. I really like the way it makes the back ground black..

I like bird butts..

Wilmington NC

This past weekend I went to a photo workshop. One of the things we did was "art with light". Here, the model posed during the long exposure and was "lit" by a flash light for a few seconds then she ran out of the pic. It gives her a ghostly look!
