James Hill > A bunch of multicolored grapes. Same bunch as last week, shot at roughly the same angle and time of day, but with a totally different look. I don't know if this bunch will make it through another session. : ) I also updated yesterday's shot with an answer. Dirkster guessed correctly.
James Hill > Eggland's Best Eggs Love 'em or hate 'em, there's no denying the EB guys have left their mark, quite literally. Personally, I like the EB eggs and usually have a carton on hand, but every single time I open a carton I am reminded of the following exchange from an episode of Futurama: LEELA: Didn't you have ads in the twentieth century? FRY: Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio... and in magazines... and movies, and at ballgames, and on buses, and milk cartons, and T-shirts, and bananas, and written in the sky. But not in dreams, no sirree. I had breakfast for dinner tonight - now I'm wondering what I might dream about...
James Hill > Filtered Cherries Sometimes I wish I could paint. Mostly when I have a really hard time getting what I want with a particular photograph. I mean it would be so much easier to just add light, shadow, and color with a brush, right? You even have complete control over focus. It sounds simple, but believe me when I tell you my artistic abilities stop at the end of my shutter finger. I guess that means I'll keep resorting to software and pixels, and a lot of trial and error. By the way, these did NOT come from the garden, I actually had to buy these at the store tonight.
James Hill > Red Clover - Trifolium pratense While mowing today I noticed the yard was littered with what I thought were tiny wild strawberries. Remembering there was an impostor plant that looked very similar but not able to remember if it was safe to eat, I looked them up online before tasting any of the berries. The ones littering my yard turned out to be false strawberries, which are in fact safe to eat but which have absolutely no taste at all. Trust me, I tried several. I did learn that it's easy to tell the two apart though. The false strawberries have yellow flowers, and the wild strawberries have white flowers. So what does any of this have to do with a Red Clover flower which actually is pink/purple? Nothing at all, the clover just happened to be the best shot I managed while walking the neighborhood looking for little white flowers and actual wild strawberries.

James Hill > Japanese Maple More grey skies, more rain, and more maple. (see yesterday's shot if you didn't get that last bit) This time it's a Japanese Maple from my folks yard, where I had a few minutes to shoot some of their landscaping before lunch today. This is a beautiful tree, but it is very dense and pruned in a formal fashion, which made isolating bits and pieces a rather difficult task. I was pleased with the overall look of the whole set but, as with my evergreen collage, there was really only one composition that I felt worked on it's own. So I threw a bunch into a collage and here we are. : ) The original crops are in the What's New gallery. I also noticed where I could create the illusion of a branch continuing through the collage once I started arranging the images. Unfortunately, I didn't have any other shots to finish that illusion this time. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I'm planning something like this.
A bunch of multicolored grapes.

Same bunch as last week, shot at roughly the same angle and time of day, but with a totally different look. I don't know if this bunch will make it through another session. : )

I also updated yesterday's shot with an answer. Dirkster guessed correctly.
