Fresh greens from nature...
Go for a walk...
Banyan Street in Boca Grande, Florida is one of the loveliest streets
for a leisurely stroll. The grand old banyan trees form an arc over the
entire length of the block, making it a shady spot on the sunny Gulf
Coast. This original photograph is a view looking down the street and
the walkway, divided by a row of banyan trees. The trees' trunks are
shades of grays and browns, with many sculptural details formed as they
grow. The abundant green leaves and branches fill the top of the photo.
Dappled sunlight highlights the footpath of light colored crushed stone,
with blue hydrangea petals from a nearby bush.
Stand in the sunlight...
Green, natural green, greens in nature, shapes in shadow and sunlight -
these are the elements that make up this original photograph of a saw
palmetto plant. The accordion-shaped leaves are dark green in shadow,
and brighter yellow green where the sunlight catches them. At the top of
the photo, a dry brown leaf from a different tree curls toward the
viewer, looking very three dimensional.
Notice the details...
This original photograph is a closeup of the base of a very old Areca
Palm. We see a few dark green leaves and the spring green trunks with
their tan rings.
Relax in the calmness...
This abstract design is an original photograph of a banana leaf. It was
shot at close range, so to speak, focusing on the ribbing of the leaf as
it grows out from the center spine. The curving bands of light green
shift in color from yellow green in the shadows to a more blueish green
in the sunlight.
