Down Low
I went out looking for scenes in the fog this morning but the fog dispersed without a click of the shutter. Instead, i looked for macro opportunities and discovered interesting subjects once I got down low to the ground. This is a seed head of a grass growing in a field.

Rain, Sun, Columbine
Filed Under flowers, Macro, Spring 2011
A lingering low pressure system over the east coast has resulted in many consecutive days of clouds and showers. Every now and then the sun peeks out, as it did today minutes after a shower ended. This columbine seems to thrive under these conditions.

Asterias forbesii
Filed Under Macro, Spring 2011
We know it simply as a starfish, but this five legged sea dweller is one of many sea stars. It is within a subgroup called asteriid sea stars, which means it has 4 rows of tube feet. I liked the spiral waves that formed around it as it meandered slowly on a tidal flat.

House Mover
Filed Under Macro, Spring 2011
Consider the slow moving snail, having to haul its house around as it searches for food. Pretty convenient when it rains or snows I suppose. Personally, I like my house to stay put.

Happy Vernal Equinox
Filed Under flowers, Macro, Spring 2011
Spring officially started at 7:21 here in Delaware (about 15 minutes ago). The optimism of spring showed itself to me in these beautiful nandina blossoms which I photographed this afternoon.
