I also enjoyed your umbellifers! You could try holding the camera right next to the stem about 4" or so below the flower head for even more fun photos.

Should be a poster with a motivational haiku... :)<br /><br />You've brought back some fun memories, too. While I was riding the MS-150 earlier this year, a breeze sent thousands of cottonwood (???) seeds flying, and backlit, they looked like the pure spirits of Eywa in Avatar. I've been unsuccessfully trying to capture that on camera ever since, and your milk vetch looks perfect for the part!<br /><br />The glass in the poles reminded me of the insulators my grandmother used to collect (along with regular glass bottles) and put outside in the sun to turn deep, gorgeous blue.<br /><br />I haven't thought about those in years! Thank you for the memory!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-77795762361202370942011-10-03T12:00:09.032-05:002011-10-03T12:00:09.032-05:00Ahh, almost all the pleasure of the bike ride with...Ahh, almost all the pleasure of the bike ride without the effort! I am kidding, of course!<br /><br />That maple is glorious and I adore acorns; a throwback from my childhood living beside a wood, I think.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing. We had an intensely beautiful day yesterday in a sixteenth-century kitchen garden. The autumn light come late afternoon was almost too much to bear.millefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-39746907432951127522011-10-03T10:18:44.137-05:002011-10-03T10:18:44.137-05:00That's it!
