resurrection and transfiguration.

lantana.

hibiscus.

both taken mid afternoon. overcast sky.

the lantana is a dead looking plant much of the year. it literally looks like a heap of dried sticks, but it really comes alive in summer and butterflies love it. speaking of butterflies, the back of this hibiscus makes me think of one...such a soft and wing.ed looking thing!

i have a site on redbubble where i sell matted and canvas prints of my photography and artwork. i came across ellen's work there. i really like her work, she has a keen eye for photography. it revolves around a love of nature and animals, especially her pet rats. i'm not a personal fan of rats, but she makes them look so cute...i almost fancy myself having one! please check out her work and support great art. it will make you smile!

sleepy boy.

charlie.

this really wasn't the best photo as far as crispness, but i really liked the composition. i softened the edges and brightened the photo after cropping it. i think the softness works as he is sleeping. furthermore, this would make a great smooth.tone piece. this is when he still had longer hair. he has a super short, like 1/8th inch, buzz cut now...he says it is embarrassing to him to have it this short, but it will keep him cool this summer.
