Flowing Focus

Published June 5, 2020 | By Bill

After a light spring rain, I photographed the back side of a freshly bloomed poppy. The water droplets were the point of interest to me.

When I opened the image up on my computer for processing, I thought a monochrome version held more promise. The full-color version was nice, but this one seemed to draw me in more.

Daffodil Doppelgänger

Published February 17, 2018 | By Bill

Doppelgänger
noun. 1. a ghostly duplicate of a living person. from German Doppelgänger, literally: double-goer.

These daffodils, growing together, seemed to be mirror images of each other’s springtime beauty.

I found these daffodils growing among a group of blooms in a park not far from our home on a morning in the spring of 2017.

Shy Dove

Published June 7, 2013 | By Bill

I took my camera for a walk around the yard. It had been a rainy day and I thought I might get another perspective of the “normal,” since everything would still be wet.

While stooping down to take a photo of some bleeding hearts in the flowerbed, I saw something run from one clump of plants to another. It took some stalking to finally get a look at what had moved.

It’s a young mourning dove; very young and apparently too small to fly. I was able to catch this shot before it darted, again, into the brush. It must have thought it was hidden pretty well. I saw it again, the next day, hanging out with other birds, grazing under some bird feeders. When they saw me, the birds flew off…and this one ran for the safety of the flowerbed.
