Haven't been doing much visual play recently, let alone posting anything. But after I played around with this image of a Maximilian Sunflower hosting a bumblebee, I liked it; and when I'd left it on the screen and then returned to the room and saw it at a distance, I liked it better. Nothing special, I know, but fun:
Then I thought about the poisoning of the bees and the vulnerability of plants and people to the climate change our leaders deny exists, and liked the image a little more somehow.
Saturday as the shadows lengthened and the sun descended, I stopped by the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, and shot a few pictures -- with sun behind performers -- that I played around with for a moment this morning.
It was sponsored by our old friend the Confucius Institute. Elvira said some of the performers were from Las Cruces Academy -- and I saw Vince Gutschick there shooting video.
Pleasant to see such a varied assortment of ethnicities represented in the performers and the audience.
And here are a couple more images from the garden.
