LAST ISSUE'S IMAGE (ISSUE
#20) -
an epiphyte (air plant).
LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY -
I said yesterday that this picture was not expected
to turn out. What I did not say was "because
it was almost night and quite dark outside."
When my next-door neighbor told me that there was
a plant on her tree about which she was very excited,
I, of course, had to grab my camera. I could barely
see the plant, but took my macro lens to it anyway.
Later, I was thrilled when I saw it on my screen.
"There's tomorrow's photo!" I love the textures,
the swirls of the green, contrasted with the red,
the touch of purple with the yellow highlight and
the patterns in the tree trunk.
The experience also left me wondering aboout the times
I might not have done something, simply because I
was sure it wouldn't work. What unexpected surprises
or beauty have I missed? How about you?
ADDED COMMENTS
For those of you who are not familiar with epiphytes,
their roots are directly attached to trees and they
are nourished by air and water. Orchids, bromeliads,
staghorn ferns and Spanish moss are among the epiphytes
with which I've been familiar. I always loved the
staghorn ferns in Longwood Gardens (Delaware) and
now find their commonality, here, one of the pleasures
of living in Florida.
TODAY'S IMAGE
Back at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. Does this bird
belong here?
