As if there is only one-- "The Web" hah. This one does not have broken links, spam, or facebook nonsense.

Lucky blind angle. I was trying to get a ground view up photo of a poppy flower by holding my compact camera beneath and aiming it up.
In reviewing the photo, I see I managed to get it almost parallel with the trunk of the much larger Ponderosa pine tree behind it. Luck!

I have photographed the texture in this old juniper tree more than once, but sometime today caught my eye-- the pattern of negative space between the peeling bark; usually I am intrigued by the alligator skin texture of the bark, but it flipped on me today.

I love these little hardy plants, kind of cactus-like things (which is an oxymoron, a cactus is not a plant) grow practically in the cracks of rocks, yet spread wonderfully on their own.
This was another "get yer belly on the ground and up close" photo.

I've seen this several thousand times, but something about this caught my eye today- the texture, the hand painted identification, the vague "water"... this is the top of my water gauge box.
Ironic, as several hours later my water was off. There was some main line in the system that broke, so I was sans tap water for a few hours.
2009/365/104 Textury Tulip
cogdogblog posted a photo:
It's hard to get a macro shot looking down into the tulip, as the focus tends to lock on the upper parts of the petal or even the stamen (center). This photo got a bit more interesting by dropping the saturation and raising the color tint to bring out the painter-like texture inside the petals.
Sometimes the photo comes as it was taken; other times, you have to game it a bit.
2009/365/99 Old and New the Cycle
cogdogblog posted a photo:
Spring time is a wave of overlapping life cycles. Among the first breakers are the daffodils, as this old gent shows, has passed his prime, while the tulips flaunt their carefree youth, not even seeing their looming fate of time.
