Gerry Daniel > Yesterday's photo was taken in the greenhouse at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.  They have a wing of the greenhouse that is specifically for camellias.  There are a wide variety of hybrids among the various plants.  The one I shot yesterday is a mostly white bloom but has a faint blush of pink in a few places.  The black & white conversion seemed to focus more on the textures, shadows, and light.

Today's photo was made late this afternoon.  It was shot between the lake and the trail in our subdivision.  Tree branches against the sky are one of my favorites.  They form such unique, intricate designs.

Today's song is by Okkervil River, the title is "Unless It's Kicks" from "The Stage Names (Bonus Track Version)" album.
Gerry Daniel > Technically, this photo is from yesterday.  This is a gazebo by a trail that goes to the lake in our subdivision where I took the leaf photographs yesterday morning.
Gerry Daniel > We had rain last night, so I was awake this morning before sunrise to shoot photographs.  I had hoped that we would have a mist on the lake in our subdivision, but the weather wasn't quite right to produce that effect.  Once it was light enough, I walked the trail alongside the lake looking for leaves with droplets of rain.  For some reason they fascinate me.  By the time I was ready to go back home, I had quite a few shots.  As all of you know, one of the struggles with the daily photo project is where to house other images that deserve to be displayed somewhere.  With that in mind, I decided to create a gallery for the raindrop images.  The new gallery is called "Liquid Sunshine - Raindrops" and images will be added on an ongoing basis.

Working through these images I found myself going back and forth between color processing and black & white processing.  In some cases, I like both treatments equally well so it's hard for me to choose one over the other.  But for the daily photo gallery, I can only choose one.  If you like the raindrop photos, I invite you to check the new gallery.  You may like some of those images better than the one I chose for this gallery.

I have been listening to so much new music lately, it is amazing how many talented artists are producing nice music and most of it you will never hear on regular radio or on satellite radio.  Tonight's song is by a band called Wild Sweet Orange, the song is titled "Ten Dead Dogs" from the "Ten Dead Dogs - Single" release.  Don't let the title discourage you, it's a song about life.
