Description

I most the time do not post flowers. There was a big bumby bee on the flowers but I ran to get my camera and came back he was gone. So I took the photo and crop it to this. I was looking at my photos and wonder what to post. Nothing looks good to me now but I know the feeling will go away. It was this flower or a big fire shot of some wood burning. To me both is boreing; all is boreing . But so is all my photos now. I even looked at my cheerlear shot I had one up close and it boreing. I do not know what to look for anymore at photos or what to photo any more. I think even as ysvry thought for a second my last photo was "the little green alien people and that this foto wasproof of theire existence". I think even if a UFO came down with some green men in it and came out the ship to pose for me I would think it boreing. what a way to feel. But I know it will not last long and I be happy and laughing like a crazy man again soon. Thinking of wild and crazy things... seeing the wonder of objects and wonder why people do not post photos of the little geams that is walking on our bodies. I saw them on TV one time lol they are ugle for sure. Most like no one have a miroscope to put a camera on or the money for one to take the photos of the geams. this is a mint and yes I did took the leaves and made tea with it before and I not dead. Make good tea too. Now black berry leaves will make a tea too but dry them for it will have a poison when it green and drying them the poison will be gone. Just like to warn people of the dangers of eating wild stuff. Like your roses you all post . they would make a good tea with the Petals but with all the poisons you put on the flower to keep the bugs off I would not make tea with the rose at all. Nothing wrong with photographying them. thanks for looking and comments

It's a wonderful shot! We have wild mint growing at the Hollow, and mint growing at home, too. Don't be so hard on your self Jock, just post whatever you have handy. Your shots are always good, always interesting. It's just a thing you're going through .. and like most everyone else said, we do all go through these time frames when our work just doesn't feel good enough or right. That's when you pic a number, go through your files and whatever number you picked, that's the image you post, grins. So if you choose 100, then you post the 100th picture in your files! Fun, right?

WOW! This is NOT a boring shot! Mint! It's wonderful. I happen to love mint tea; I also love chewing on the leaves as a breath freshener...the leaves taste good all by themselves. And as for this shot, I like it quite a lot. Great DOF and light, and the details of those little tiny petals are perfect. You should do more flower shots...flowers seem to cooperate with you, and that's a good thing. Too bad about the bumblebee...maybe you'll see it again later. Great shot though, it's a goody.
