Beetle Bokeh, Spectacle Island

Beetle Bokeh, Spectacle Island
This little guy just flew up to me as I was sitting on a bench near the summit of the south drumlin of Boston's great midden, better known as Spectacle Island. If you're ever given the opportunity, you really ought to go see the sights at Spectacle Island...

Flower Blur 2

Flower Blur 2
This one is from a series of intentionally blurred photos I did over the same weekend as the previous entry. It was a really bright day out, and nearly noon, so shadows were really stark. These little flowers were sitting in deep shadow, but I noticed they were picking up every bit of light that was coming their way. In the series is a photo I took of these same flowers, but without the blur. You can barely see them. It was only when I lengthened the exposure and started moving the camera around that their amazing blue color comes up.

Taken over Memorial Day weekend. We took the Harbor tour out to Spectacle Island. Really beautiful out there. I have a lot of pictures I like from this set. I'll post a few of them
