Cactus and More
A few more film images from the Conservatory scanned into PC.
Hydrangea
I think these two flowers are hydrangeas?? Again, scanned into the PC from a film print. I’ve tried to articulate a difference between shooting film vs digital. There are probably many differences, but one that strikes me is that film images sometimes have a softness about them. I guess with Photoshop anything can be altered to look like anything. Outside of the act of editing I think this softness is something that strikes me. I guess the same point has been made between vinyl recordings and digital; the vinyl recordings have a ‘softness’ to them, if I were to choose one word to explain the difference.
Purple
This flower looks just like a daisy, but purple. I don’t know what it is. Any ideas?
Final Resting
Headstone where my grandparents are buried in Santa Maria, Ca. Resting place of most of my dad’s remains, in a funeral urn, placed just in front of this headstone. The flower garden is at Mission Soledad. At this spot we spread the last of the ashes of my dad. Mission Soledad is near Salinas, where he spent much of his youth.
Hosta
I’m hoping my hosta will have bloomed by the time I get back home this coming Thursday. Going to Portland today to watch over our granddaughter- or maybe it is the other way around? Hopefully will have new material to post when I return to Seattle.
Clematis
One more look at Carol’s clematis.
A Closer Look
Macro view of one of Carol’s clematis.
Carol’s Flowers
My daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a really pretty clematis vine that I wish I could grow. She explained her pruning technique to me last week, but I have had no luck with this type of clematis to date. They all die after I prune.
On a cloudy day
This flower looks very unenthusiastic. Maybe it is the weather?
Lupine and Thumbells
From our planter boxes.
Campanula Rotundifolia
Growing in a pot on our deck. One of those wispy flowers that seem so delicate a slight breeze would damage them. They seem to survive just fine, though.
Flowering Chive
We have one large chive that I tend to forget about. We do snip pieces
off for cooking every so often, but I don’t think I am supposed
to let it go to flower. The flowers are pretty, though.
Clematis
Clematis in the evening. I’m not sure how I made the leap from ‘art pigs’ to clematis…
