Monomad Contest- Beauty Everywhere

The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry; and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher

Did you know that thistle could look so delicate? Look at all those hair-like pieces of the flower and plant. Just gorgeous!

Wednesday Walk: Beautiful & Burning

Today I’ll start my walk leaving the house and going across the road to check out the Woodland Angelica, a new invasive plant growing along the highway.
A bee is about to land on the flower to collect pollen

@redheadpei captures a hovering bee looking for some pollen. It's a perfect image!
It looks as if the bee is coming in for a landing on top of the Woodland Angelica.

3 Different Looks To The Same Sunset- Which One Do You Like Best?

On Tuesday, there was smoke to the air and a little bit of clouds in the sky so after dinner, I grabbed my gear and headed down to Donner Lake, here in Truckee, California. I was running late so I went to an easy but great spot for photographing a sunset
Here are three different techniques for shooting the same sunset.
I'm curious, which one do you like best?

Stop over to see which of the three sunsets that @scottshots has that you like the best!
Who doesn't love gazing and reminiscing in front of a sunset. So serene! So relaxing!

Sublime Sunday- A Bit Of Fun

I have seen a few posts for Sublime Sunday, but had kept forgetting to do a post, but this week I finally remembered, so here goes with my different, wacky, and perhaps even crazy edits
This image is actually made up of many shots of fireworks I took during a private 4th of July Fireworks display along Fort Trumbull beach a few years ago as seen in Gulf Beach and then combined into one photo, which I then did a funky edit with

@tattoodjay did an awesome job taking this fireworks' implosion image and creating a fabulous image to view. Even the reflection in the water is perfect!

Ahh... Grasshopper

I took this photo last month when I went to the Conowingo Dam in Conowingo, Maryland. My son, actually, spotted this grasshopper on the back side of a railing. I came so close to putting my hand on it and it gave me the “willies” just thinking about it. Most people may look at it and think of Walt Disney’s Jiminy Cricket but when I look at it, I see Mr. Grasshopper from James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl

I am with the majority I suppose; because when I think of a grasshopper the first one that comes to mind is Jiminy Cricket. How about you?

Good luck to all the entries! May the best photo win!
