Stripe of Clouds

eastern Utah just after sunset

Canyon Set

JiuZhaiGou, China

Mineral Water

it's a beautiful mid-spring day and i walked in many circles, ducking and bobbing my head for some time, trying to find the angle that best complimented this tree's glory. the clusters of large white flowers are quite bright against the surrounding forestry and such contrast made for a great shot.

Dogwood

rapids along the McKenzie River in Willamette National Forest

Rapid River

no photographers were harmed in the capturing of this photo (although we are in need of a new photo-assistant ;-)

Bear Snarl

Southern England

Stonehenge

you'd probably believe me if i said this was a tentacle from some deep-sea creature, but it is actually a closeup shot of a common flower stigma (the tiny little stem sticking out of the center and captures pollen from the stamen). the stigma of a red gladiolus is only 0.025 inches in diameter (thickness of 2 playing cards) and this photo captures the very tip that protrudes farthest outside the bloom. (check out our "Balanced Gems" shot to see the neighboring anther part of the same flower).
