Pumpkin Berries, Just in Time for the Fall

Here is the stem of an odd plant we found while at the park. This stem is only about the width of a nickel. The plant had little green berries that resembled tiny pumpkins, and much smaller flower-like blooms with a very small berry inside. Violet crushed one of the berries and it contained a black gooey seed and smelled strongly of green peppers.

China Beach

Another abstract image from the Christmas tree which reminds me of the imagery of the far east. Either Vietnam era tropical trees silhouetted in rising sun, or ancient Chinese bamboo in the sunset.

I made these last several by pulling back with the macro lens and shooting from a greater distance than usual. The lens was out of focal range, but the lights and silhouettes made for some interesting pictures

Rising Sun

A more abstract image of the pine needles against the blur of background christmas twinkly light. This one reminds me of the Japanese flag, and the poster for the movie Empire of the Sun. I've not experimented with the more two-dimensionally abstract side of macro photography before and think I should, after playing around a bit with images like this.

Pine Needles 2

Another piney needley shot for the Christmas holidays. We'll be doing these all week folks.

I like how this one in particular looks fake and plastic green, almost like a Lego tree or something.
