That guy looks disgruntled. The shellfish looks decorative but I'm sure it smells, hence the look on his face.

They're beautiful creatures and intelligent too. I'd rather see one swimming in the ocean. ;-)

Looks like an eye with tears coming down. Interesting textures in this detail.

Gardenia

I did some searches on this effect and evidently odors induce reverberating circuits which can persist even after you left the smell. In the case of the gardenia, the fragrance is so strong that it gets stuck in the nose. Seeing the image reactivates the smell so subtly that it's as if you're smelling the flower in the photo. I recall smelling the gardenias at Ott's once to the point the fragrance stayed with me for quite some time. Another interesting fact I learned, some florals are too fragrant. Case in point, my mother cultivated blooming jasmine on a trellis above the entrance of my parents' Florida home. One evening I brought a vase of fresh jasmine into my bedroom and that night I had to remove it because the fragrance was so overpowering it kept me awake. LOL

Pretty soon you'll have enough photos to publish a picture book about Katee. ;-)

I really like this, it's a commentary unto itself. I know your theme is red but pink wins it! Super image.

Pretty little blooms w/a nice bokeh. Things are blooming, lucky you! I have to go to Ott's.

Your Canon EOS R shoots 30 MP!! Not too shabby.
