b-day!

A midnight surprise from someone special!

sad grass

Some sad, sad grass.  I think this is paint from when the gas company marks underground lines OR a new regulation on energy use.  Hard to tell.

viole{n}t

Actually, nothing violent about this violet flower.  Notice how deep the white center is--it's nearly on the same focal plane (nerd) as the green leaf to the left, which is at the base where flower and stem meet.  His younger brother is below.  I like the soft focus contrasted with the spike of the leaves.

up, up, and away

Yep, same flower.  Super fuzzy, but I like how the crest of the flower pedals kinda burst towards the top of the shot.

up, up

Same flower as earlier.  Actually, when I took these shots, I didn't look through the lens--I just held the camera down low and hoped for good stuff to come out of it.

up

The stem of a flower; the wind was blowing, and it created a nice blurred effect that I really like.

Where Is This? #13 greenie blue

OK Claredites, another quiz for another Friday.  Where is this green, blue and black thing in c-don?  Anonymous-Super-Former-Coworker got last week's quiz, and after two weeks of dizzying anticipation Kinney finally and correctly guessed the previous week's close-up conundrum.  Good luck.
