\"Sunflower\"<\/a>

Sunflower<\/p><\/div>\n

I decided to take some photos from odd angles in an attempt to find some really unique perspectives. I started with this sunflower, positioning myself so that the sun would be directly behind the flower. While to photo has some nice qualities, the seeds are washed out. I do like the colors produced as the solar rays passed through the petals, and It’s really cool to see a bug flying toward the flower in the top left hand corner.<\/p>\n

\"Swiss<\/a>

Swiss Chard - Bright Lights - Yellow<\/p><\/div>\n

I then decided to try a similar shot with some of my Swiss chard leaves, and I got a similar shot of tones produced as the suns rays ran through the leaf. The yellow in the photo is just how the plant looks in real life, and I have not altered the colors in any way.<\/p>\n

\"Swiss<\/a>

Swiss Chard - Bright Lights - Magenta<\/p><\/div>\n

When I decided to try some other angles, and avoid the sun, I pointed my lens at these festive chard leaves basking in the sun. In the background, peas grow to about 7 feet tall, and here they look enormous. The blue sky in the background gives the photo a quality of paradise, and this is often how I remember the valley when I’m away.<\/p>\n

\"Purple<\/a>

Purple Vienna Kohlrabi<\/p><\/div>\n

Since I had already gotten dirty, I figured I’d take a ground level shot of the Kohlrabi I direct seeded. Here the base of the plant is about the thickness of a pencil, and it has a lot of growing to do before becoming the shape and size of a baseball if all goes well. I had wanted to plant kohlrabi after realizing I had missed it, and when I got to the seed section, they were our of most seeds, but they did have this purple colored variety.\u00a0 I figure it can’t taste too much different from the light green toned plants that sprung forth in last years garden.<\/p>\n

\"Hammock\"<\/a>

Hammock<\/p><\/div>\n

At the end of the day I decided to try my luck waiting for the ground hog to appear while my scope and generous supply of lead were nearby. Soon I found myself creating a hammock, and not long after that, I found my self waking up in it. So much for keeping an eye peeled. I guess it’s that time of year where I can relax a bit, so long as I can keep up with the weeds that constantly grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
