STILL LIFE

Drift Wood & Clematis
I have had this piece of driftwood in the garden for years with the idea of doing a still life. What better accompaniment than the spring flowers of Clematis.

Iris
The intricate beauty and magic of creation is perhaps what motivates me to be a gardener along with the great peace of being close to nature. I built my garden over three years as a retreat and a place for meditation. This is my first planting of Iris in the garden and it gets to have it’s picture taken. :)

Tulip Talk
Three tulips that look as though they may be having a conversation or perhaps dancing in celebration of spring or maybe I’ve had too much wine! :)

Lily of the Day
The Stella de Oro daylilies in the garden bloom early and into the fall. This is one of the first to make an appearance! I shot this with a 2.8 aperature for a shallow depth of field.

The Pollenator
After a still life session with tulips I opened one and used a flash and macro lens to capture the inner workings.

HAPPY HARVEST
I wanted to do a Still Life celebrating the fall and the harvest. A time of year when many of us take a little more time to reflect on all the good things, and the people, the friends, that surround each of us in the present moment.

Ice Art
The first freeze of the year beneath a bird bath with falling water frezzing on the rocks and leaves overnight. The ribbons of ice in the central left are actually ice coated daylilly leaves. Pretty I thought, and worth a picture in awe of natures beauty!

The Expectation Of Form
Some believe that form is an illusion. This is my artistic interpretation of that idea.
