My local photo club has a monthly photo contest (not high stakes: ribbons and pride) and “patriotic” is this month’s theme.

While I made some decent photos at the fireworks show on the independence day, I actually think I may print one of these older photos, though I’m not sure which one just yet.

just received some fracture prints I recently ordered, one of which was of these flowers. I usually get their matted finish nowadays, but thought the reflections of the original glass would be interesting with the high contrast of the petals with the background, and am quite pleased with the result.

white flowers, perhaps dogwood, with small yellow pollen on protruding stamens, set on a dark, bluish background

The path behind can appear quite different than it did while traversing it.
