Misc.
Over the past week, most of my "possible photography hours" were spent planning, designing, and constructing this treehouse in the woods for the grandsons. It was only completed a few days ago, but these two have battled dinosaurs, robots, ninjas and all kinds of creatures and bad guys from their new fortress. So far, it has proven to be impenetrable. Now that the good guys have the upper hand, we plan to have a picnic there soon.

Early one recent morning, following a rainy, windy night, I (as my usual custom) was walking through my various gardens when I noticed the first image posted below. I thought that it was interesting, so I whipped out my iphone. My one conscious thought was, "this looks like the flower was placed on the leaf", but it wasn't. So, I thought since it was a wet and windy night, I'd check for additional "found" instances of a flower falling and sticking to a leaf. I did find a lot of fallen blossoms of all sorts, but most were not as strategically "placed".
After completing a game of online golf with my brother last night, I came downstairs to see this. Big surprise. Didn't even know I had a bud on the plant.
Recent visit to Manhattan and Brooklyn, taking hundreds of pictures in 8 days while also enjoying visiting my daughter Sarah and her husband Brian and meeting up with some photographer friends.
