Almost a silhouette as the sun frames flower and leaf.

Like fairies playing jazz, every direction at once, these blossoms swing.

There is something so cultured, so human, so crafted about a tulip. They seem less wild than other flowers.
Red Tulips
Two Bees

My mother's favorite flower: moss roses. I was shooting a close up when 2 bees wrestled for pollen.

I am trying to capture the inner radiance of these flowers. Like a flame.

I love the details of the inner flower. This cluster was just budding.

These grape hyancinth are so small, but I love the way they look in close-ups. A forest of magic.

My neighbor asked if I could photograph his irises.

I am exploring the internal lives of flowers this Spring...

Colors change throughout the day. Capturing the early morning sun.

Budding Poppy

The paper fragile poppies try to hurry to escape the ravaging deer who will soon visit the garden.

The inside of a poppy makes your imagination swoon as if it can affect your mind directly.

It's difficult to catch these flowers when they are dancing. There is a hint of the secret life within in this photo.

Again, trying to catpure the secret intenal lives of these gorgeous flowers. I think this photo found some speaking mysteries.

Magnolias at Sunrise

Each year, for 3-4 days, our magnolia tree is the center of the universe.

The 2007 sun through a different shade of azaleas.
Capturing the Sun

The Sun is refracted through the transluscent petals of the Magnolia.
Magnolia Grape Hyacinth

Springtime brings a city of hyacinth. They look like they feel as if they're towering so high. So joyous.
Blue Daisies

When you are done looking at one thing, another wonder comes into focus.
Hibiscus

Some blossoms are so beautiful, they look alien. Maybe that's because we don't notice the exotic nature within ourselves.
Wind and Light

Condensed light overpowers as wind softens with motion.
Starburst Hydrangeas

Two different flowers cluster on the blossoms of this unique hydrangea aside our house.

Preying Mantis Springtime Comes

Springtime comes to our backyard, 2007. Each year, each season, is so wonderfully unique.
Pink Rose

Nothing like a rose.
Cluster Dragons

This cluster of Snapdragons looks like something exploding from space when viewed very close up.

Standing Dragons

A different angle on the Snapdragons. Its fascinating to look through the lens.

I tried to capture the luminescence created by the lowering sun.

The Red Shed

Nestled in the shade is the red shed, so quite and sturdy in the background.
Daffodils Catch Sun

The sun makes certain flowers nearly fluoresce. I love when the sun begins to fall and its time to open a bottle of wine...
Wood Pile

Insects use our wood much more than we do. A large fig bush used to sit alongside, until the deer consumed it.
Small Wood Pile

THis is the smaller pile of branches we pretend will be used as kindling some day.
Sunset on the Birch

Only on a few evenings do the sun's rays reach the birch, usually saded from the red and orange of sunset. The bird house has never seen it.
Ride the Rosebud

From this perspective, the risebud tree looks like a flower-ladened slope perfect for fairie sized sledders.
Burning Tree

Autumn brings out astounding colors in our Japanese maple.
Tulip Among Weeds

We don't plant tulips anymore. When they arrive, it si always a surprise.
November Mums

Every season has its own color, life, beauty, uniqueness. Autumn is my favorite.
Rhododendron

Just outside our kitchen window is this magnificent bush. Like all things, a photo cannot truly capture it.
2008 Roses

It was a very good year for roses. I wanted to captyre them glowing beore they became too heavy to stand.
Spring Buds

There is great magic just before the flowers open all the way.
