What a cool photo, Roger! I love the plant, and your lighting is PERFECT! It's so clean and crisp. No shadows on the wall, and just enough interesting shadow at the bottom to give it depth. Thank you for showing us your set up. I have never had much luck with indoor lighting, but your photo helped me to see that I think I normally put my lights too far away. There are ALWAYS shadows. Always.

Awesome!

Rebel Without A Cause

Judy! What a SAD story! I'm so sorry for that kid and his family. So many kids are always in trouble when they are that age -- but they grow up and really make something out of themselves. It breaks my heart that his life was snuffed out before he could make it right. His parents have to live with it ending like that.

Auuuggghh. . .my heart is breaking!

Day 21 - Daffodil

A quite striking, beautiful daffodil! I love the pretty pastel yellow on white -- and all the teeny tiny detail and texture in the middle.

I don't think daffodils can be just a daffodil :)

So beautiful! I love zebras.

Yours at the Caldwell Zoo are much more polite than the ones I see at the wildlife ranch (tee hee):

My little buttercup has the sweetest smile
Dear little buttercup, won't you stay awhile
Come with me where moonbeams paint the sky
And you and I might linger in the sweet by and by, oh...
Dear little buttercup, with your eyes so blue
Oh little buttercup, you' re a dream come true
You and I will settle down in a cottage built for two
Oh, dear little buttercup, I love you...
Everybody !
My little buttercup, has the sweetest smile
Dear little buttercup won't you stay awhile
You and I will settle down in a cottage built for two, oh
Dear little buttercup
Sweet little buttercup,
My little buttercup

Ok, I fess up: I googled it. . .but it does fit so well with your beautiful pink illustration :)

Oh, this is priceless. Someday, when he's long past the age of enjoying stuffed animals, this photo is going to be so precious to all of you. One of my sons really loved stuffed animals, and when I look back at photos of him with some of his beloved animals during that time, it makes my heart hurt.

He is ADORABLE!!!

Whoa! That's awesome. You said it best: sculptural. I love that word, and it fits the silky shape of the lines in this brightly colored beauty. I love your plant life photography :)
