Sammy in the sun
The lower angle of the sun, and the bluer sky, of September in northern Illinois draws my attention to some of the colors and shapes of the plants that nobody planted.
I’ve been looking for new angles from which to photograph these fall flowers:
Black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
Back-lit goldenrod
Goldenrod & maize
I’ve also been interested lately in taking photos that leave out the horizon line and that flatten the scene so that the photos look almost like collages or abstract paintings:
Weed-texture path
Sumac, grasses, maize
Then, there are the close-ups:
Velvetleaf leaves
Velvetleaf seedpods
Giant ragweed leaf
OK, here were two I did actually plant:
Tomato
Dill seeds
