Color version of an anemone (?) from the same garden where I took the B&W version from a couple of days ago. This version from a couple of quick snapshot frames turned out much better than I expected (from a 28-200 super-zoom, no less). #Photography #Flower #CapitolHill #Seattle

Good boy. Mostly. #Photography #ClassicMono #Artie #SuperTakumar

Some reflections from all directions for #ColorADay #BWFri. I'm annoyed that this Japanese restaurant doesn't have a happy cat. 😜 #Photography #ClassicMono #CapitolHill #Seattle

Some dusk shadows for #ColorADay #BWFri. #Photography #ClassicMono #CapitolHill #Seattle

A moment that just makes me happy for #UrbanGaze. The smile is infectious. #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle

Two snapshots of Volunteer Park in Seattle while there to shoot dahlias. Is a huge, ugly chain-link fence the best they can do around the landmark reservoir? #UrbanGaze #Photography #ClassicMono #VolunteerPark #Seattle

Three details from an urban church for #UrbanGaze. #Photography #ClassicMono #Church #CapitolHill #Seattle

So many #WindowsOnWednesday, refracting who knows what, who knows which way. #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle #CapitolHill

Now that I replaced my broken iphone, I'm resolved to use 65x24 more. At least until Pi comes back. Trader Joe's inspired me a couple of days ago. #Photography #iPhone #65x24

Happy Tuesday, everybody. I liked the way this one looks like there is a chain of dahlias disappearing into the distance in the blur. The lighting is pretty good, too. This is a single frame with the Samyang 75/1.8 and extension. #Photography #Dahlia #VolunteerPark #Seattle

I'm not usually one for B&W macro or closeup, but this flower (anemone??) didn't work in color, but looked nice in #BNWmacro. I liked the little gesture of the tiny (failed?) petal curled up. #Photography #Flower #ClassicMono #Closeup

Reminder of the (annoying) sunlight last week on a rainy Seattle morning. Happy Sunday! #Photography #Stunday #Dahlia #Flower #VolunteerPark #Seattle

For #BlueSkyArtShow #angles, some reflected buildings from Seattle. #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle #CapitolHill

I had a few more minutes in the Volunteer Park Dahlia Garden yesterday, playing with another lens, but didn't expect to get much in the hard light. However, this one made me happy. #Photography #Flower #Dahlia #VolunteerPark #Seattle

Thankful for the sunshine, but looking forward to the long nights and rain, too. #Photography #ClassicMono #CapitolHill #Seattle

Happy Thursday for #ColorADay #YellowThu. #Photography #VolunteerPark #Seattle #Dahlia

Some layers for #WindowsOnWednesday, apparently from PEK airport in February, but I can't for the life of me figure out where. #Photography #ClassicMono

What's up, #ColorADay #RedWed? Does #RedWed make anybody else feel creeped out every time? #GoT #Photography #Dahlia #Red #VolunteerPark #Seattle

A legit #TagTuesday from Amsterdam. I shared this one in color previously, but I suppose it is technically a better image in B&W. #Photography #Amsterdam #ClassicMono

#TagTuesday from Amsterdam. OK, it is a stretch. #Photography #Amsterdam #ClassicMono #Grafitti

Also #ColorADay #PinkMon and at least close to #MacroMonday (probably about 1:1.5 on 35mm equiv), this is the color version of an earlier B&W post. I didn't plan for B&W, but it seemed to simplify it, but I'm OK with the color version. #Photography #VolunteerPark #Seattle #Flower #Dahlia

An environmental portrait for #ColorADay #PinkMon. #Photography #Pink #Flower #Dahlia #VolunteerPark #Seattle

I can do #ColorADay #OrangeSun (and maybe a little #Stunday). Some bright colors for a surprise gloomy day in Seattle. Happy Sunday! #Photography #VolunteerPark #Seattle #Dahlia #Flower

Closeup (near macro) of a dahlia bud, nestled inside of a filly dahlia flower for #BNWmacro. #Photography #VolunteerPark #Seattle #Dahlia #Flower #ClassicMono

Sorry for oversharing the dahlias, but I'm awe-struck with them. Happy Saturday! #Photography #Flower #Dahlia

Another Amsterdam impression. #Photography #ClassicMono #Amsterday

On a lighter note, a good boy, posing for the crowd in an Amsterdam cafe. #UrbanGaze #Photography #Amsterdam #Puppy #Dog

Hard to believe what people have bred from dahlias, but then again, look at dogs. #Photography #Flower #Dahlia #VolunteerPark #Seattle

A very different version of the same flower, but taken with a dreamy legacy Super Takumar lens. The other was with a modern macro lens (also Olympus vs. Sony). #Photography #Dahlia #Flower #VolunteerPark #Seattle

2025 Dahlias from the Volunteer Park Dahlia Garden. 😀 I should get back there a number of times before they are past. Today was hard because the sun was persistent and still too high in the sky for the trees to block, but it will get better. #Photography #Dahlia #Flower #VolunteerPark #Seattle

Tried my hand with an even dreamier legacy lens, and I like this one better. No stacking; no nonsense; minimal processing. #Flower #Photography #Coneflower #Closeup #Macro

More playing around with my dreamy 50/1.8D in the back yard while bored. Late summer coneflower (echinacea). Nothing else turned out because the flowers are pretty ratty closeup. I hope to get to the dahlia garden in Seattle next week! #Photography #Flower

Playing around while I was bored, and this one seems nice. #ColorADay #GreenSat #Photography
