Homegrown, tropical and dry as a bone at this time of the year. The Bird of Paradise is blooming and I wanted to do more with it. The photos were interesting - I started at twilight and kept coming back every 10-15 minutes till I got the right light. The really nice ones were taken when it was actually dark out and the light ones were taken at twilight. Contest - no. I may offer prints if anyone is interested?? I don't like doing closeup detail, because then you can see all of the flaws. Here is the full rotation and other fun photos for everyone to see more. The wood checked in the perfect spots after I was finished carving - almost like I planned it that way!! [ Edited by: AlohaStation 2009-02-23 17:35 ]
