wild aster

Posted by ordinaryimages (Kentucky Bluegrass, United States) on 4 June 2009 in Plant & Nature.

I notice that most of my images of the past year have been within 20 miles of my house...and I haven't even touched it.

It speaks well for your eye and your spirit that your own 'home sweet home' is the source of so much inspiration. Wherever these photos come from.... they're meaningful. I'd say it's workin'.

@Dulcie: Thanks! I shoot mostly in the adjacent county, or on my own property. Guess I couldn't have worked for Geographic : ]

What a perfect arrangement . . b&w really does release the true structural content of an image . .
