Life and Death

I wanted to go up to the summit of Mt. Prevost to take some shots, but I got three-quarters of the way up and found the road to the summit was still covered in a lot of snow....I was feeling a little dejected at not being able to get to the mountain top, so I ended up stopping at this cemetery on the way home. This was originally an HDR image, but I thought it was too vibrant considering the subject matter in the background. I ended up with this instead.

Clear for landing

This is a shot from a few years ago when I was still in China. I went to this flower show and culinary exhibition in Guangzhou. Even though I had been there for a couple of years when I took this pic, it was the first time I'd ever really spent any time looking closely at the plants out there. That's when I noticed how different the flies and bees looked out there.

I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but it's about 10 times smaller than it appears in the photo. They grow kind of like moss on rocks. I got this shot at a beach in Mill Bay. I took the shot from a distance of about 2 or three inches.
