I also found some tasty shapes and textures….

At The Jewel Box in Forest Park, Saint Louis, Missouri.

They’re so rich. The leaf close-ups are especially strong. You had a good time at the garden!

  And I was totally not expecting it. I had an entirely “other” set of plans, photographically that day. But you roll with the changes….

    Absolutely – I’ve learned to keep the plans and expectations very, very light and minimal – just a direction to move in. Then see what happens.

  Thank you so much, Lily–I’ve just in the last year or so been delving much more into the SilverEfexPro software for B&W conversion. It definitely makes one think more about line and texture.

Wonderful shots! You show the plants as being jewels themselves, and I think they really are. I stick firmly to the thought that “nature is a great designer”, but sometimes it needs help from us people to really show it, like you do here!

  That’s very kind of you to say, Gunilla–I try to see beauty wherever I look–even in supposedly “ugly” things. I think it’s always there if you look in the right way.
