Iris
Here is a backyard Iris that I liked quite alot. I knew just what time of the day the sun would light up the background.

Black Hole Lilly
Black Hole Lilly is a lily as it is being pulled into the 4th dimension. It picked up an extra “l” along the way.
Butterfly
This butterfly is living in my back yard. We have a large selection that flutter by throughout the day. We have many plants that attract all sorts of butterflies. The trick is to always have a camera with you at all times so that when they fly by you are ready to shoot.
Wine Glass
My wife and I were in the backyard relaxing when I took my Nikon zoomed into the glass of wine she was drinking. I then cropped it so it turned into an abstract that could be interpreted as almost anything.
Samurai
The center of this orchid just looks like a samurai warrior ready for battle.
Purity of Essence
I am always a sucker for water droplets on flowers. It is a reminder of the fleeting nature of their beauty.
Paths of Glory
Another Kubrick reference.
Orchid Tree (series)
The great thing about growing your subjects is that you can see immediately when the light is right. This Singapore Orchid Tree blooms for a month and there are many opportunities for interesting pictures. I especially like the morning light — it brings out the warmth and creates some great shadows.
