Canopy Ascent At 4pm on a December afternoon, the sun bathed this eucalyptus grove with warm rays. Notice the tracks left by a snail on the trunk of the tree. With each step the eye inches up towards the glowing canopy. March 16, 2010
Driftwood Feeding The little flock of birds pictured above brought a smile to my face tonight. Aligning the large piece of driftwood with the birds proved tricky because the flock moved rapidly from one feeding ground to another. I may be projecting, but I perceived the birds to have funny personalities. March 14, 2010
Bloomin' Moon Washington D.C. is known for limestone buildings, but the softer side of the Nation's Capital blooms but once a year. I visualized this image as black and white when I exposed the frame. The blue sky was slightly dark and the lack of clouds left the scene in need of action. The blossoms converted nicely into black and white, and this transformation brought drama to the image. The negative space surrounding the moon helps highlight both the rising moon and the cherry blossoms of April. Next time you are in Washington D.C., set aside a few hours to walk outside of your comfort zone (e.g.: Mall, museums, and government buildings) and search for D.C.'s soft side. Your search will be worth the effort! March 13, 2010
