DOGWOOD IN IR

Springtime dogwood in front of my house, shot in infrared. It's a fun exercise if you have a camera that has had its sensor modified. I need to get back out on the street with the regular camera but it looks like a wet week.            

FREAK OF NATURE

I have other photos to show from Ste. Genevieve but this is worth an interruption. It snowed here most of Tuesday afternoon. Our average latest frost is about two weeks ago. Being in the middle of things we get buffeted by air masses moving east from the Rockies, south from the Canadian plains and north from the Gulf of Mexico. This shot was taken from my front porch yesterday. I wonder what the tulips and dogwood will look like by today.             

LIGHT AND DARK

Purple Rain

Twelve miles, twenty kilometers southwest of the Arch, right in front of my house on a wet spring Sunday. The flowering tree in the foreground is pink dogwood. The petals on the sidewalk and street are from a redbud tree, which are in bloom all over St. Louis.
