Dill in Infrared
Another backyard creation. I grow fresh herbs in a container on my patio and the dill got a little out of hand.... At first I photographed the bloom from the top, but then thought that it was much more interesting from below. Then I thought that the spiral structures of the plant would look rather striking in a black and white media in stead of color -- but it didn't have the snap that I was looking for. The IR filter gave it the look and feel that I was going for when I photographed it.

Young morning dove and mother
I shot this from my deck today and then fooled around with the toning features in Aperture. It did a good enough job. The morning dove on the upper right is the baby -- I have other shots of it still be fed by it's mother. My backyard and deck have been a safe haven for these birds, and several broods of robins, cardinals, cat birds, mocking birds, and who knows what else.... It has been delightful to watch the parents do such a nice job of caring for and protecting them.
