I decided to do a photographic experiment with a dandelion from our yard that went to seed. I placed some colored lights behind it and liked the way it illuminated natures work. I cropped it and added some white vignetting around the edges using Photoshop Elements.

The new World Trade Center Building in New York City. I thought the angle of the photo communicates and depicts the majesty and immensity of the building as well as its beautiful design all of which pays homage to the old World Trade Center buildings destroyed in the 911 terrorist attack. It shows that we will not be cowered or defeated...we will rise again...as good or better than before. It is a tribute to the American spirit and work ethic.

This photo was taken last year on the Greek Island of Korfu. While strolling down one of the many narrow "streets" I spotted this old couple just sitting there seemingly enjoying people watching and each others company. Couldn't pass it up!
