Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

Amazing composition! That fern looks like a comb: obviously the one intended to comb plants, which is how they always look so nice. What really grabs me in this shot is the color and the evidence of insects. But how could I not notice insects, even absent ones? That would just be too many shades of wrong. I am really taken by the shapes and the patterns, and that lone fern asserting itself just off center. This is really well seen and brilliantly composed. Oooh...and you're off on an road trip? Cool. You wouldn't be heading to the flat Midwest at any point soon, would ya?

Great capture of the plant life

I see there be molluscs!

Snail sign! I thought the leaves were trilliums, but I don't think they grow in HB, so now I'm stumped. But I also see clover, which is lovely with the fern. LOL@Chip for his comb remark, and it looks as though the heart-shaped leaves have been combed already, so maybe the fern is just standing back looking and being satisfied with its job...

Enjoy your trips 😊

Denise is right ... it's not trilliums ... it's sorrel. The fern makes a terrific composition! Have a great trip! I'll look forward to seeing pictures. :)

Ok, you got people, here, talkin' about trilliums and sorrel. To me they're leaves and holes! (I don't know ANY NAMES OF PLANTS! I'm an IDIOT!) (Trilliums??? There are plants called Trilliums??? Get the ____ outa here!) Anyway, a splendid shot! Yeah that fern could be a comb. But to me it's a big electrical tower or something like that. It's stuck where no one wants it, but it has a job to do. The leaves are luscious and full, and I love all the holes (signs of once-extant insects, ala Chip). And fine reflections. And the fern just cuts into the whole lot, sniping, "ex-CUSE me! Like, ex-CUUUUSE me! Don't push!!! I just wanna get to the TOP, people..." And there are these little pine-needles or something like 'm. This is the definition of "in medias res"---in the middle of it all. And you're one of the few photographers who can pull these off everytime. Vital, exciting, fun, and very crowded: Kind of a Studio 54 dance-floor, for the 'leaf' set. (And, in the midst of the crowd, the fern is the dude who has to get to the freakin' john, and is poking his way through everyone to get there...) Love the shot! Well, I'm at over an hour now, so I'll stop for now. But I'll be back. ((How many did I do---8! That's a decent number!)) There are more coming. As always a great thrill to sit with your work. This shot is a visual dance club...)
