Cone Flower

Two edits of the same photo. I like the idea of the second one, but would like to find a way to make the blur more gradual.

Crossing the Mississippi River

I love the lines of this bridge, but have not been able to find a good way to shoot it. Last Monday, for the first time , I was not driving so I took several pictures through the windshield. (It is as narrow as it looks!)

Summer

Evening at Alley Mill

This is a combination of shots at different exposures. I recently bought Photomatix and decided I should learn how to use it. Though I still have a lot of room for improvement, I think I will like it.

Maple Seed

Clouds

Took these from my back deck yesterday. Wish the wires were not there, but they are! These were declared a new type of cloud formation and were part of the nightly news.

Bugged

Let Me In!

Taken outside the butterfly house at Close Memorial Park. She (he?) seemed to be wanting to join the butterflies inside.

Not a Dandelion

Ron, this is one of my wildflowers I planted last year, but I can't remember what it is called.
