  2. Indeed wild and free. I can feel the fall air and hear the vegetation brush against my legs. Absolutely lovely.

  5. Great color and composition again. I'm especially partial to #1 (and #3). Maybe I've mentioned before how much blurred backgrounds add to the central subjects, at least for me in the last few years.

  6. I'm crazy about all of them but I want to pull the first two out and show them as a diptych; one above the other. They really play off of one another from the large orb-esque shape in the 2nd photo and the fairy dust micro orb flowers in the first. Hope this makes sense. Very powerful together.

  7. These photos are beautiful. You have such a talent for capturing the most gorgeous sights. I am smiling and sighing a big sigh, thanks for the beauty you bring into my life.

  8. It's so odd to me to think that all this beauty must have been meant for some observer (you in this case). And if a beautifully chiseled rock were to exist, on say Mars, would it still be as beautiful even though we can not know of its existence or be able to see it?

    I was going to say some exquisite flower on Mars, but thought that would be unrealistic (though I could be wrong). But on Mars, who is to say that some French Riviera bacterium doesn't have the widest, most gorgeous eyes—eyes that live to gaze upon flaming red rock.

  9. I hold no preference among flowers . . . except, perhaps, for you. As always, your captured images are breathtakingly beautiful as I imagine you are.

  10. Superb shots! I'm not a big flower guy but the photo above the bottom one is amazing and so is the top one. :-)
