Daffodil in Ithaca's concrete jungle in the second week of April; my dirty secret is I'm sitting on hundreds if not thousands of undeveloped photos of daffodils -- I'll post plenty of them in next year's daffodil season, but why wait?
For #texturetuesday I wanted to showcase the different bush and tree types in this scene that exhibit different types of textures. This is from the Japanese stroll garden that I visited. What immediately struck me from this perspective was the layering and colors of the foliage and of course the beautiful bridge in the top left.

For #TextureTuesday here are the textured veins and patterns of a Heart of Jesus (Caladium bicolor). They weren’t kidding when they named this — it’s triggering flashbacks to the “Sacred Heart” paintings of my Catholic childhood.

I took some focus bracketing shots for the FotoChallenge "FocusStacking", downloaded some software, but never got around to figure out the stacking process.
So: unstacked.
