Hummingbird

When we vacation we often stop along the way and buy some flowers. This hummingbird was appreciative of our efforts...

Longwood Gardens by day and by Night

Longwood Gardens by day and by Night

We photographed the water lilies (and dragonflies on the water lilies) all morning and then the grounds during the afternoon and then the light installation until they closed. LOVED it all!

The dragonfly has obviously been creatively edited but the water bottles by night was a zoom blur done while taking the photograph, so it is straight out of the camera (SOOC)

Butterfly Art

Tom and I were just driving around and we came upon this field of weeds with lots of Monarchs and other butterflies and moths flying around.  This particular image just called to me to convert it into an artistic image.

Fractal Dahlia

This photograph of the Dahlia was post-processed to give it an ethereal look.

Fractalius (PC only) is an awesome program! I first heard about it from Denise Ippolito's Blog
