Standing Tall in the Cold

Yes I wanted the horizon on a tilt.

These Tall Goldenrods are growing and blooming at the edge of the Hamilton Harbour and beside the Waterfront Trail. Special "Thank you," to the city of Hamilton for putting in this wonderful trail beside the harbour!

Photo was taken Friday, November 28, 2008. I also found 14 other late wild flower species while out walking on Friday.

Before the Snow

I took this yesterday, Friday, Nov. 28, before the snow began to fall again.

These Henbit buds will probably just wait for a sunny day to melt the snow and then, if the sun continues to shine, the buds may open for another late flowering. Meanwhile, I like the colour and details on the flower buds too on this late November day.

This is another alien plant that came over from Europe and western Asia.

Another night photo. This is a montage of two photos. One was taken at at 1 second exposure and the other at 4 seconds. Both were f 4.0 and ISO 1600. I liked how the two photo melted together.

Ice in Nice

While out looking for wild flowers I found some wild ice on a shrub. Actually, the shrub had flowers on it too but I have not been able to identify the shrub to my satisfaction yet.

This sculpture is at the Royal Botanical Gardens. I was lucky to be able to photograph it without too much background clutter. The piece is called Royal Couple and was made by the Canadian Michael Dennis.
