Clouding Over
Popularly known by its latin name, this white echinacea has an expression that visually represents today's weather: cloudy, dreary and a bit disappointing.
From the Bottom Up
Sometimes things look surprisingly nice from angles that you'd least expect. I think these yellow coneflowers are just as beautiful from beneath as from above.
Please the Bees
Here's a close look at some bees busy on some pink flowers. Or perhaps it's the same bee who's extra busy on a number of flowers. Assuming the flower is as tasty to the bee as the sumptuous pink colour looks, it's no wonder the bees were crawling all over with delight.
Pineda Throws a Pitch
Here's Michael Pineda of the Seattle Mariners pitching. The expression is enough of a visual intimidation factor for me. It says whatever he's throwing, it's going to be really, really fast.
Ready, Set, Fight!
I'm used to old-fashioned things like three-legged races, frisbee toss and face painting at festivals and social gatherings. Nowadays the thing seems to be sumo wrestling. You put on these heavy, inflatable-like weighted suits and go against an opponent. First one to push the other out of the circle is the winner. The hardest part about it was refraining from laughing long enough to actually gather the strength to fight. It was smiles all around.
Past Due Date
Even when past prime, things can still have beauty all in their own. This was taken in natural light against some whiteboard. The original was a blue vase and orangey-red flower. I referred to a colour wheel and switched it up a bit to the complimentary colours of yellow and purple.
Meeting in the Evening
Work meetings are usually boring, but having them at the Vancouver Convention Centre is visually appealing and affords more interest to the usual convention rigmarole.
Minty Fresh
I see stylized photos of flowers in stores and I think they're pretty cool. So why not take some real photos of my own and play around with them in photoshop to give a fabricated feel. An Andy Warhol-esque picture is in my future. Topic: Gerberas, of course!
