Flower Stalk, originally uploaded by Kelson.

An unintended, but interesting effect. It was late afternoon, probably close to sunset but hard to tell since it was overcast, and had just started to rain. I saw this spindly tree with a tuft of flowers at the top and tried to take a picture, but it was too dim. So I stepped back, turned on the flash, and zoomed in. It made the flowers a lot brighter, and the sky a lot darker, than they looked in person.

You can actually see some of the raindrops caught in the flash.

Strawberry Flower, originally uploaded by Kelson.

My wife and I stopped at a nursery to pick up a sage plant this weekend, and there was a shelf of strawberries with one solitary flower.

I have no idea how I managed to get something this sharp with my phone!

Morning Glories, originally uploaded by Kelson.

Last year my wife and I found some morning glories growing in our backyard, and decided to train them with twine to grow along the back wall. They did phenomenally well…and then produced a zillion seed pods, reminding us that they’re often classified as weeds.

They’re gone now.
