Lilies Close Up

Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:02:29 GMT

To the casual viewer, whole lilies appear as objects possessing great beauty. That beauty is even more evident when the view is concentrated to only a small section of the plant. Then the flowing lines, soft color and texture, and interesting shapes contained within the flower become apparent and create a picture quite different from that of the whole flower.

Study of a Vase of Tulips

Sun, 05 Jun 2011 21:26:04 GMT

Lynn had tulips with long stems placed in a clear glass vase for her weekly flowers some time ago. They fascinated me, so one sunny morning I spent a satisfying hour photographing them. The gallery resulted from that enjoyment.

First Frost

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:57:52 GMT

A photographer without a camera! After setting up the booth at a show, I glanced out the window and noticed frost on some plants. Texture was gorgeous. At first frustration set in. But then I realized the solution to frustration was in my pocket.........the i Phone!

Ice in the Creek

Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:51:49 GMT

Winter cold created ice formations in Shellpot Creek. Closeups reveal the beauty not normally apparent during a casual walk along the side of the creek. The ice, sunlight, and clear water combined to make interesting landscape and abstract photos.

Orchid Abstracts

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:23:59 GMT

Theses works of art were formed by manipulating orchid and orchid close-up pictures. In some cases it is as simple as mirror imaging. In others, deliberate distortion is involved. In all cases color and strong graphic content was sought.

Orchid Closeups

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 13:53:49 GMT

Without a doubt, orchids are beautiful. When we look at the whole orchid, we sometimes miss the exceptional beauty of the center. So this gallery is focused on the center of the orchid.

Winter Distortions

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:38:51 GMT

When the snow stops and a little melting occurs, many shapes of ice appear. Most of these images are natural. The mirror images are obvious, but beautiful in their own way.

Sand and Rock Compositions

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:09:07 GMT

Should this be "Abstract" or does it belong in "Quotidian"? After all, what is more ordinary and everyday than rock and sand. For now I'll leave these in "Abstract". All these pictures were taken one cloudy day on the beach at Encinitas, Ca.

Orrtanna, PA

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The B&B didn't offer breakfast until 9 a.m. So a morning walk of about three miles before breakfast was taken every day. This gallery has some of the photographs from those walks.
