Beautiful pre bloom flower. They're also very pretty when they're just buds.

Good shot.

Hey, fanstic capture on your birthday. This is really pleasing to the eye and it makes me slightly jealous thinking of you wandering the beach while I was out this morning hiking in the snow to get a fence shot :P

This would have been nice for one of those 'color on color' challenges. Great eye to have gotten this shot before it disappeared.

And I'll second the question of... where's the cake shot? :)

Never would have guessed a palm frond... I thought it was wood! Interesting lines running through here.

Could it be wood it be - Day 13

Originally posted by JR: Plywood. Placing this in a position where the sun is just skimming the surface would bring out the textures in a big way. Like this shot I took years ago. [thumb]657856[/thumb]

I understand your idea of positioning this where the sun can cast more of a skimming light on the subject but I need wait for the sun to move since repositioning the Hanalei Pier is next to impossible as the photo here shows. The photo in question here, 'Could it be wood it be', is not a macro of plywood, it is a macro of the plywood impression in the concrete from the forms used to cast the pilings of the pier. Thanks for the suggestion JR.

Nice detail shot. From the thumb i thought it was a rock or a piece of wood. Cool grain and texture.
