A few of the pictures I took a couple of weeks ago and just rediscovered; they feature some interesting post-winter plants that grow around the school. I tried to shoot them in an interesting fashion, perhaps highlighting some things that most people wouldn't notice. I used to walk by them every day, and I never saw them as anything but some boring yellow plants. Later I took a closer look at them and took some pictures, and I thought it brought them into an interesting light. I showed them to some other people, and they gave me exactly the reaction I was looking for- "What? That grows by the front entrance? I never saw that." The others I took a few on Thursday, and a few over the weekend around my house. It is completely surrounded by dense trees, and this is my favorite time of year- when everything becomes green and sunny, with the light filtering softly through the leaves...it looks almost surreal. I went around and took some pictures close-up of the greenery and, thirty pictures and six mosquito bites later, I ended up with some rather interesting ones. My favorite is of one seed-like thing I found on the deck. Its bright color caught my eye, so I set my camera on macro and shot a couple of angles. I adore the image below! Something about the extremely shallow depth of field, with the stem and the deck blurring out, the fact that nothing else is really seen around it, and most especially, the long shadow it cast...I love it so much!
