Denny Jump
This cone flower has pinwheel like petals. Rather festive in appearance.
** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"
- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)
- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.
::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire
Is this the “one” that has all sorts of healthy qualities. It’s a very pretty flower.

@B.Held: Hi Brittany - nice to hear from you again! Thank you very much! I enjoyed your riverside plant silhouette today
Wow, that is stunning. It just jumps off the screen. The bokeh is over the top beautiful in its backdrop and splashes of pink in the green, to highlight the echinacea. And who knew that a wonderful medicinal plant could be so beautiful as well. Excellent!

A great perspective that you've captured here; one that isn't seen often. I love the pattern seen in the paleae as well; almost psychedelic.

@Steven: Hi Steven Thanks very much :-) I guess we all have to get lucky sometimes, but I do appreciate your kind words. I need to come over there sometime and see if you can give me some HDR training!! You are the king on that score.
Hi Den,
I don't know what to say. Everybody has said it. But I can actually see the way the center of this flower swirls out in pinwheel fashion. This is one of my fave flowers. I have several in the back. But the lighting on this and the colors are beautiful. I agree with a previous commenter who said your floral photogs are fantastic. Have a good/safe trip west, brother. Love you
