Lily Bud
This is another one of my "grow your own photo" series. This was actually in my living room. I grew the lilies from bulbs I got while on vacation.

Pink Tiger
I have been very happy to find that people really like pictures of flowers! 'Cause I really love to shoot them! Not any surprise I guess but seeing as how I live in a bit of a tourist area I thought the local attractions (the Harbor, The Mission, The Beach) would be of more interest. The intriguing thing is that the locals are the ones who are more interested in the local attractions!

Morning Rock Rose
Another variety of rock rose, growing around Monterey. This particular variety is a hybrid of two European species. It is supposed to do better here but as far as I could tell they were all very happy.

Land Flower
In contrast to my previous Anemone.
This was taken on my last trip to Carmel, while teaching a
good friend of mine about photography.
The thing I love the most about this photo is the background.
Just as surely as a poorly conceived backdrop can destroy
an otherwise wonderful photograph, the right background
turns a beautiful subject into a work of art. This one has
the feel of a painting to me.
It was a very busy flower
bed, a very low aperture setting on the camera caused
anything not right at the same distance as the flower
to be quite out of focus.
The most important thing however, is the fact that my friend really enjoyed
taking pictures of the flowers. He had about the same
level of enthusiasm for Photography that I do, and
he is about the same age I was when I started snapping my
first pictures. His name is Grayson, he is about three years old,
and I do not think I will soon forget the smile on his face that day.
