This is another flower image created with the use of CombineZP to give the depth of field presented. The final image was the result of a merge of five separate images. The flowers are extremely small… about a half inch in length and less than a quarter inch in width.

And now there are three.

“One is constantly reminded of the infinite lavishness of Nature. No particle of her material is wasted or worn out. It is eternally flowing from use to use, beauty to yet higher beauty.”

The creation… is not an event which happened in the remote past but is rather a living reality of the present. Creation is a process of evolution of which man is not merely a witness but a participant and partner as well.”

I haven’t a clue as to what this is… it was found on the ground during a hike. It is rather fragile as it is dried. The balloon is about twice the size of an acorn and hollow. The overall length from the tip of the stem to the end of the balloon is about 2 inches and the height is around 3/4 on an inch. Any help in its identification would be appreciated.

The photograph is a CombineZP merge of five images taken at 1/2.5 of a second, f5.6, with each successive image having a focus point a bit deeper into the subject. The subject was placed inside a light box with sunlight providing the illumination from the right hand side. The Nik “sunlight” effect was used to warm the light a bit and add the tonal qualities to the foreground and background.

Consider this...

Think of the Earth as a sacred place. Maybe then we can begin to properly care for it.
