  • Another shot from along the river. Thanks for all the comments yesterday. <br /> 5/12/2010<br /> Best viewed X+ for detail.
  • Phragmites australis, AKA the common reed<br /> 5/11/2010<br /> These beautiful plants grow along a nearby river and are at least 12 feet tall. I thought they looked particularly striking against the strong blue sky.<br /> <br /> According to plantsedible.com, "reed roots are edible when cooked. (Cook until soft.) Punctured canes extracted sugar-rich gum." Who knew??

  • Ta da! <br /> 5/1/2010<br /> I've always wanted to create a coffee table book of my best, most recent photos, and I finally did. It arrived a few days ago from My Publisher. This is the second time I've created a book with this company, and I think they do a great job. And their packaging is really cool. As you can see, when it arrives and you open it, they give you the sense that you're book is simply the best! Smart people.

    I think it might be a variety of viburnum. Gorgeous shot, stunning clarity.

    Wonderful light and details. The white is great against the green foliage

    It looks like a variety of hydrangea to me but I've not seen this exact one. Glad Maryann did research. It's beautiful!

    The flowers say hydrangea and the leaf says viburnum. Hmmmm.... I think it's this: http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/images/low/X760-0901020.jpg Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta'
    Gorgeous whatever it is! Great job on the petal and leaf details.
