...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.

wow. Stunning! was this with your iPhone or P&S?
ReplyDeleteThis was the iPhone--used PhotoForge 2 for processing.
ReplyDeletevery nice! Great DoF.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts Prezactly!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and I love how the bush seems to fit nicely into the water's outline.
ReplyDeleteIt's nearly a contradiction in itself: So beautiful a plant can be a garbage. I know these things, we have the same problem with another plant: A sort of very proliferting Impatiens.
ReplyDeleteHi Bobbi,
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful piece of garbage. But I know about invasive plants. I have one in my garden. A Trumpet Vine is very invasive. Have a great day!

What a trashy beautiful plant lol It is really hard for me to call this kind of beauty garbage! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat DOF with a splash of invasive color.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about non native species taking over, but this is perhaps the prettiest garbage I have seen.
ReplyDeleteHigh praise from Steven! This is a lovely scene if you don't know how it can take over wetlands.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer this isn't a desirable little weed. Sure is pretty! Gorgeous reflections on the lake, too.
ReplyDeletefor being garbage it's looks very nice
ReplyDeleteI like you composition with the depth and great reflection in the water
May be a pesty species but you made a beautiful composition out of it. Love how all the shapes interconnect and of course the reflections are icing on the cake!
