Here are a few photos from yesterday’s mountain hike on Miyajima (Hiroshima, Japan).

At this time of year, portions of my garden are overrun with borage. The bees ADORE it, so I tend to just let it grow even when it gets in the way of other things. The flower clusters hang down, so today I decided to try for a different view.

The clouds over Lake Michigan were gorgeous yesterday. Then in the evening a storm started to come in and a bird happened to fly into frame right as I was taking a picture.

Only the sky half of this picture is nature but I wasn’t sure where else to put it. Went on a family vacation for a convention this past weekend and got to watch the sunrise from floor 5 of a parking garage three days in a row. It was exhausting, but lovely.

The sunset over the lake was amazing yesterday. Here are a few favorite pictures:
I am very excited about that last one because I found out if I hold my phone in landscape mode and take a vertical panorama, I can get a wallpaper-sized picture with way more clouds than would have been able to fit if I just took a portrait shaped photo.

So I LOVE waterfalls and for my birthday, I went up to Marinette County and visited some waterfalls. They claim to be the waterfall capital of Wisconsin. There are apparently 14 waterfalls. I only visited 5.
Long Slide Falls
Smalley Falls
12 Foot Falls
8 Foot Falls
Dave’s Falls

Ooh, lovely! I haven’t been up there to see those yet. The ones up around Superior and along the Minnesota side of Lake Superior are definitely worth a road trip, if you’re looking for more.

Happy Internation Photography Day. To celebrate, here are some MACRO shots. 
An Acorn cap for scale.
I like how the color didn’t fully develop Wonder why?
Water drop reflections. Classic.
Ok, so this one has a critter in it. But I think we can let it pass just this once.
I am not sure what these are. But I love the texture.
These I know. They are called Bleeding Hearts for obvious reasons. My mom planted them and they still pop up every year.
MACRO!
Nature on the small.

I have always enjoyed macro photography.
For the water drops, were you lucky or did you cheat and mist the flowers?

Ha ha. No. I live in New England. It will rain at some point, like it or not. 
But I will admit, sometimes a good hose sprinkling is not unwelcome.

I’m busy tagging this year’s photos in Lightroom so y’all gonna get some pics
From January, when it would not stop raining here, a field of tiny vivid brown mushrooms growing up through some mulch
Also apparently tagging some old pics. Here’s a nice view of San Francisco Bay taken in 2005 from my kitchen. My view these days isn’t quite this good but can’t complain!
