Urban Jungle 2


This shot shows the source of the light for the previous post: the sun reflects off the side of the Bonaventure Hotel and across Flower Street. (That's the walking bridge between the hotel and the YMCA.)

What lies below... or rather, hangs...

Below the flowers from the last few posts there was another interesting subject. Lower in the plants was a spider web that had caught only drops of water (presumably from the sprinklers), so I got the camera down in it.








Park III

These white and purple flowers were found in someplace one might not expect (see these other posts for where). These shots focus on ones that had not opened completely, or at all, or would not open again.

More white petals and purple stamen of these flowers seen in these posts found in a place not typically associated with beauty.

A parking lot.
