Lindheimer’s Clockweed Image: Zebras Child 2019
This was one of those rare occasions when I felt like I had captured the perfect picture with my iPhone with the subject clear and the beautiful background perfectly blurred. It reminds me of Monet’s use of color in the background, or even sometimes in the full painting. Although he never worked in oranges to the best of my knowledge. The oranges are closer to Renoir’s use of color in the sunlight.
And here is a closeup.

Abandoned Pipe
I’ve been trying to get a good picture of this old pipe for weeks. It’s been just sitting there behind a bush for years. It’s not connected to anything, which is part of the mystery. Some workman must have just forgotten to pick it up when s/he replaced it with a new one. I couldn’t manage to capture the beautiful red browns until this photo.

Macro Monday
Butterfly At Rest Image: Zebras Child 2019
I don’t actually have a macro lens yet (I’m saving my pennies) so I have to use my 200mm telephoto, then enlarge and crop. (The image would have been clearer if I had a macro lens.) As a result, I didn’t even know I had captured this beauty. I thought I was just taking a picture of a beautiful flower that I could enlarge to show the detail. As I was looking at this photo in my iPhoto library, I noticed something was sitting on the bottom portion of the flower. I wasn’t even sure what it was at first because I was just browsing thumbnails. I clicked on the photo to see what I could do with it – whether or not I could edit it into a usable photo and voilà! C’est merveilleux! And an unexpected grace.
*This, by the way, is a butterfly, not a moth. You can tell by looking at three things.
- The antennae are smooth, not hairy or feathery looking.
- The butterfly is resting with the wings up. Moths generally rest with their wings spread out flat.
- This picture was taken during the day. Moths come out at night.
