Chicory

A Chicory flower against a field of golden grass.

Queen Ann's Lace

I've never seen so much pink on a Queen Ann's Lace. 

Another favorite.

Short walk

I went for a short walk yesterday. My Meniscus prevents me from longer treks.  I came across these little white flowers and as I got close I noticed their orange centers.

Possibly Wild Aster.

Purple Trillium

I found this flower along the riverbank leading to the waterfall. After a google search, I came up with three common names, Stinking Benjamin, Purple Trillium and Wake Robin. The description says is has an unpleasant odor. I guess I didn't get close enough to attest to this...thankfully.

It is very pretty and unique looking.

Sad news on the Basking Shark, it died on the beach. Marine researchers will determine what the cause of death is in the next few days.
Today’s picture post is a composite of two images, one focused and the other deliberately out of focus. I used to do this with Kodachrome 25 by making a double exposure in the camera. This is the first attempt at the same effect with digital.
It’s easier to control with the computer that it was with camera exposure alone.
