Repeat after me... DP168-2013 Posted June 17; processed ditto I chose this shot for its repeat pattern and limited color palette. It wasn't well focused and was shot in flat light, so I added a couple of filters to give it a little more visual interest. Bear's Breeches, aka Oyster Plant, Acanthus mollis Family Acanthaceae . . . Native to the Mediterranean...A tender perennial, hardy outdoors only in the warmer climate or growing zones in the USA, but potentially invasive where it is hardy. Acanthus flowers typically have thorns on their sepals (that's what 'acanthus' means), so beware when handling. Conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan June 13, 2013 Thanks so much to all of you who left comments for yesterday's shot of a cemetery angel even when I wasn't able to comment myself. Each one was heartily appreciated.
Henry Vaughan School of Public Health I DP156-2013 Posted May 5; processed ditto. I liked the interplay of curves and lines in the roof lines of the different parts of this building. I also was attracted to the fancy brick work around the tops of two of the parts. Seen from Washington Heights, near the main entrance. University of Michigan Medical Campus. (I appreciate all the interest shown yesterday in my peony shot. It's a special time of year when they bloom in profusion around here.)
The geometry of shadows. DP118-2013 Posted April 28; processed ditto. As the sun moves across the sky, this shadow of the braces in the atrium roof takes on different aspects as it falls on the cylindrical walls of the stairwell. Remodeled Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project Building. North Carmpus, University of Michigan April 27, 2013. (Yes, I know the shot should include the top of the roofline. It was there in the original, but I decided I'd rather have to crop it off in the course of removing some perspective distortions than leave it along with those distortions. I'll have to reshoot it some day, allowing more around the edges for such cropping.)
Witch Hazel at the end of its spring blooming season. Time now to make way for other blooming trees, such as magnolias, fruit trees, redbuds, dogwoods,... DP117-2013 Posted April 27; processed ditto North side of the Michigan League University of Michigan, Ann Arbor April 18, 2013
Pedestrian guardrail. With snow on the ground and ice on the river, you can get some nice shadows on rare sunny days in winter. At Geddes Dam, Gallup Park Ann Arbor February 9, 2013
Retaining wall, shadow of safety railing, and reflection of orange warning float. Huron River, just above Geddes Dam. Gallup Park, Ann Arbor February 9, 2013
Stump details from cut crab apple trees. One of several trees that were cut down during 2012 in order to remove non-prairie specimens from Dow Prairie. . Dow Prairie, Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor April 5, 2013
Stump details from cut crab apple trees The green really was present in the wood, not just in this stump but in a couple of others as well. The processing has emphasized it primarily via levels and contrast adjustments, not by saturation adjustments. . Dow Prairie, Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor April 5, 2013
Stump details from cut crab apple trees. This one was cut several years ago and clearly was either dead or dying at the time. . Dow Prairie, Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor April 5, 2013
