The Furious Spinner

These are a few macro photos of my rosemary bush. I'm not using iPhoto any more because it sucks, but I can't really do anything on this new program, like brighten the photos. (I don't like to photoshop stuff.) So I'm still on the learning curve with this new camera. As I've mentioned before, I planted this rosemary bush about thirteen years ago in White Salmon, Washington. It was about two inches tall. It has come with us during the several moves we've made since then. It is now taller than I am and wider than it is tall.







This is a Luna pumpkin blossom, I believe. It might be a regular pumpkin blossom, but I don't think so.



Mario took these a couple of evenings ago when I was working in the yard. I didn't know he was taking photos. I had just asked him to hold the camera. So I wasn't trying not to look at the camera; I was trying to step out of my little wild patch and something must have caught my attention. I don't really know. Notice the Queen Anne's Lace behind me is nearly as tall as I am. And what, you ask, am I doing with golden rode in my flower beds. I didn't plant it. Some other lunatic did many years ago, and it just keeps coming up.

What I like about both these photos—and he did it with the Fairy Congress photos too—is his ability to capture motion while all around is completely still and in focus. He calls the first one, "No Pictures Please." The second one is "On the Hunt."
