Plant Friends

Sage and Cactus, side by side at the beautiful Berkeley Botanical Gardens.

Sherman in the Garden on a Gray Winter Day

It was cold outside, behind the thorny rose bush, but that didn't stop Sherman, a recycled metal and bicycle parts bunny, from peering happily out at the new growth.

Camellia Focus Stacking Photo

Experimenting with Photoshop CC photomerge/auto-blend features versus Helicon Focus Software to merge various images of the same picture but with different focus areas.  Helicon wins, but not by much.  This image would have been even clearer if I were more systematic in what I focus on and in what order.  

Bugs in the Garden

Testing a new lens and I discovered some bugs having fun in the Helleborus.  The world is full of big and little creatures living life, and we are probably only aware of .0005% of it at any time.

Oak Tree

Today's version of a tree of life, a neighborhood oak with new vector background.

Looking Through The Window

Rainy day photo composite.

Bird of Paradise

Loving the in-camera double exposure feature of my Nikon D750!
