Time to Unwind
During last week’s hike through the woodlands at Clifty Creek CA (south-central Missouri), numerous ferns were actively growing and beginning to unfurl. As the geometry of unfurling ferns has always captured my attention, I took a few breaks from hiking, to capture these beautiful plants: More Clifty Creek images and some new Florida trip images […]

Wheel of Fortune

I was wondering what it would look like, grabbing a capture looking down the bell of the flower. I captured 20 images, […]
Violets, Anyone?
Found a few Common Violet (Viola sororia) wildflowers growing in the nearby woodland a few days ago. Here are a couple of images I captured during my woodland hike: Right now, we’re getting quite a bit of rain. Can’t wait for a lull in the rain so I can get back out to see what […]
