Greetings friends! Pretty slow in the forum these days. Hope all is well with you!

Here is one from a trip to Albuquerque, NM for the Hot Air Balloon Fest, with a stop at an aquarium.
Imagine you are in first grade learning to spell  Albuquerque!!

Very nice photo, Rich - I've always found shooting in an aquarium challenging due to their unique lighting conditions and especially reflections off glass. But you nailed it! I love how the pale yellows wok with the rich blue.

I found something worth photographing at late friend and neighbor Ron's former house, even though it shows the same neglect by the current residents as his roses do...

   

As Rich mentioned, I hope all is well with everyone.

Thanks Dave, looks like it's just you and me kid!

The peppers look like they grew some fuzzy mold! Neat!

Thanks Rich.

Not peppers, though. I'm not sure what the plant is - appears to be some sort of miniature evergreen-like plant.

The jellydish photo is awesome, Rich. Smile
Like Dave said, it is a difficult shot to get.

Asparagus Densiflorus ‘Meyeri’?

Thanks for the ID of the plant, MFI. I believe you are correct, even though most of them that I see in my area seem to be more curved, which IMO is quite attractive.

Thanks Peter and thanks for the info on the bush!

Rich, that shot of the jellyfish looks so good, it looks AI. And I know it is not, but I do not know how else to tell you that it is marvelous.

Dave,
Yes, I think you found another cool thing to shoot. When I first saw it, I thought that it looks like it was an underwater shot or an aquarium shot. I love the flow and lighting that you grabbed.  But speaking of grabbing, I have to ask, are you walking around in his backyard?


RE: Wednesday, June 12th, 2024 - Rich - 06-17-2024

Thanks Lorell! If it was AI I would tell you, just a little crop and saturation adjust. Taken well before AI reared its head! Speaking of AI, do you remember when you believed what the photo was showing you?

Thanks Lorell.

A number of homes in my neighborhood have this plant, and I find it quite attractive  with its lovely green and graceful curves.

This was taken from the sidewalk in front of the former home of late friend Ron.

I gotta add that it is good to see you more active here in the past few days - you have been missed.
