Groundplums on Rabbit Mountain sounds like a Pulitzer candidate. It's a pretty little flower, too.

Whoa, that's spectacular. Glad you got some 'interesting' conditions on this one.

I'm not sure any of us are going to fully retire, but I hope the overall situation bounces back up eventually.

I've got a ton of images in the Autumn Lights Festival this week. Come see it! Bring the kids! It's a super fun time. There'll be food trucks, a wine bar, and of course a million amazing light-based art installations.

Seeing a Prop 65 warning on a packet of seaweed always gives me pause.

Now that’s an original. I love this. I don’t think I’ve ever used or seen this color treatment, but it reminds me of why I got into IR in the first place. And why it’s so hard to put down.

Excellent! I love it too, and am so excited to actually be part of it this year.

I've always dreaded the thought of doing any kind of video project, but it's actually kind of fun. At least when it's as simple as a slideshow.

Thank you! It was a side project that’s sort of taken over. :)

It’s so much weirder now - bet you’d still love it!

Rain Hayes @rainhayes.com · 9d

An original. Nice work, Will.

Rain Hayes @rainhayes.com · 9d

That's just gorgeous, Loretta. I could look at it all day.

Two beautiful images, Rick. The abstract shapes are a nice distraction from the 'real' world.

The pollen is quite reactive to the uv! Thank you 💙💜

Wow, love the 1970s style illustration. Congrats on the exposure.

This Coleus flower smells strongly like skunk. I think it's pretty neat looking, but it needs to go wait outside after our glamour shots session.
