Flowers – Untitled #111

This is a picture of the central portion of a sunflower. There is a community garden near our home where a variety of flowers and vegetables are grown.

In July 2023 I took a stroll to the garden and surrounding area and took 80 pictures. In this image, my love of nuance and subtlety are shown; those parts of wonder that lie all around us but go unnoticed unless we are intentional of becoming aware of what is already here for us to enjoy.

Of the 80 pictures taken that day, one other image made the cut and is proudly displayed in our Etsy Shop: Flowers – Untitled #41.

Landscape – Untitled #109

This is a picture of Meadow Lake within the confines of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois.

As I have often said in these posts, the Arboretum is one of our favorite places to relax, read, enjoy the flowers, fields, and forests, and, to take pictures.

This scene is one perspective of this well-known lake. As I took this picture, immediately behind me is the Visitor’s Center. Near the main parking lot, visitors walk by this lake to get to the Center. Often you will see chairs set up by the lake for special events and exhibits are found here throughout the year as well.

Inside the Visitor’s Center you will find the Ginko Room where guests can eat and are treated to this view through an extensive stretch of windows.

This scene was photographed in May, 2023.
