In this image, I captured 2 of Chihuly's installations at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. The foreground is part of the "Float Boat" and "Niijima Floats" are in the background. Both of these are in the Japanese Garden area. Many other installations can be seen throughout the gardens and sculpture park, but only until 11/1/26. The indoor Chihuly exhibit runs through 1/10/27.

Today is kinda gloomy, so I'm sharing a cheerful sunflower to brighten up the day. 💛

This ICM image was done similar to the one I posted last week, using the zoom on my lens. For this pic, I zoomed in on the flowers while the shutter was open. Last week's photo was the opposite, I zoomed out while the shutter was open. I'm not sure that it really looks any different? The effect looks the same to me.

Tahquamenon's Lower Falls framed by tree branches. I took this photo from the island that is accessible by the recently installed pedestrian bridge (2022). What a great improvement to this park! I hope to make it back up there to see the colors this fall.

I was experimenting with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) techniques today. I like the softness that it created with these flowers as well as what almost looks like rays of light extending from the petals. I added a vignette and reduced the color saturation to soften the image even more.

Update … I’ve been asked what this image is. Before I post the answer in the comments, does anyone have a guess?

This is an image that I captured during the summer. I've been holding off on posting it because it was part of my camera club team's scavenger hunt entry under High Key. The scavenger hunt reveal was last week, so now I can share it without other teams seeing it. 😂 It is one of my favorite photos from this summer.
