synapped > The Tree Revisted

Back to the tree at the Japanese Garden in Portland this fall.  It's so spectacular!  This is almost straight out of the camera, just a wee brightening and levels and such.  I like the one I got this year better than last year’s because I got leaves under the tree this time!  I just finally framed last year's in 20x30 size for my dining room.  Now I'm debating about printing this one instead.  

Since I didn't get the full starburst, I don't know whether the light "aura" is a good thing or not.  I'd love your honest opinions about that.

A city park in Portland, Oregon.  I couldn't believe my luck when the wind sent the leaves a-whirlin'!

synapped > Cliff Diver
I just returned from a week in Acapulco.  These cliff divers put on a show every night, starting at sunset.  It was so amazing to watch!

synapped > Once Upon an Ivy Walk
I tried several times last year to photograph the amazing color transformation along this ivy-covered sound barrier wall.  This year I just turned around and shot the other direction.  I think I like it!

synapped > Double Voltage

We had the most spectacular thunderstorm while in Acapulco.  This one lasted the entire night -- I've never seen anything like it!  With that opportunity I finally succeeded at getting a lightning shot from our hotel balcony!  The friends we went with were out on the cruise party ship between these 2 bolts of lightning celebrating Independence Day!  (If you hover your mouse over the pic and choose X2Large it's much more dramatic)

I still have only uploaded about half the dahlia shots I loved.  I know this is the classic stereotype, but I loved its color  :-)

I found a place to play Hide 'n Seek with the froggies today -- Pacific tree frog, I believe.
