Welcome/Willkommen!

Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the images I have posted. Please do not reproduce them without my permission. Most are available as note/greeting cards or as prints/enlargements. Thank you for visiting my site and your comments.
Many have asked about the Header image above, which I named 'Eerie Genny'. It was originally shot with film [taken on the shore of the Genesee River near the Univ. of Rochester]. During the darkroom development, I flashed a light above the tray. The process, known as 'solarization', produces eerie, ghostlike effects; some have mistaken this image as an infra-red photo. Some 35+ years later, I scanned and digitized the print, and did a little modern day editing, and, voila.

Daisy [Macro Flowers Saturday]

There's little to be said -- here's a flower that always brings a smile to your face.

Diablo [Macro Flowers Saturday]

This is one interesting plant -- makes me think of a Buckminster Fuller 'whatchmacallit'-- [geodesic dome]. I apologize for not paying greater attention to getting a better depth of field; that would have given a 'knock your socks off' shot. Anyway, it grows in our side and front gardens, so I'll get it next year.

St. John's Wort [Macro Flowers Saturday]

I love these flowers with their dense growth of stamen. The bees are always busily flitting from one flower to the other -- sometimes making mowing around them an adventure.

Rose [Macro Flowers Saturday]

My wife's rose bush continues to go through blooms -- I never tire of their beauty and fragrance [sort of like Rosemarie].

Daffodil [Macro Flowers Saturday]

This daffodil was not among the host that William Wordsworth saw, but it still could inspire a poem!

Rosemarie's Rose [Macro Flowers Saturday]

This was one of the last on the rose bush of my wife [coincidentally named Rosemarie]. I couldn't resist it [or her] -- I stopped mowing and ran for my camera. Voila!
