Ground Cherry

A macro lens was a must for this shot.  I got my settings just so and then held this wee tomato (aka ground cherry) between my fingers, watching as the light found its way into the ground cherry. I pressed and released the shutter and captured the translucent beauty.

I shot at f/2.8 and a shutter speed of 1/50. I used my 60 mm macro lens...and I held my breath. No tripod, just my fingers, so breathing was not really optional.

Sometimes you just have to go where the light is and that was the case for this picture. Turning the ground cherry until I found the light's sweet spot was what needed to happen. And when it happens, it is indeed sweet.

That's One Fuzzy Petunia Plant!

New Life

Signs of Spring

Today is a chilly day by last week's standard, but springtime nonetheless. I took a break from some studio work to poke around in my backyard to see if spring would show itself to me. I didn't have to look too hard.

Along our railway ties that surround our patio, patches of moss have begun to grow. The green colour breathes life into the air and sparks hope for more of the same.

Spring is a season brimming with new life, new beginnings. This reminds me of God's mercies, new each morning, not only in springtime.  Like signs of spring, I don't have to look too hard for these either. They are all around me. Thankful.

Spring Rain

Static or Stream

Static or stream? Yes.

Their Dance

Gently they moved in the wind,  lending sweet romance to the landscape.  The dance was theirs to dance and my pleasure to behold. I didn't want to leave.
