Incognito

Incognito....
I've never seen a green zinnia so thought it would be a good idea to take a photo or two of the ones that are growing in my parent's MO garden (yes, their garden really is that wonderful - I think I've said that before;-). Took this first photo - that isn't well centered or anything else - and thought all was well and good, it just needed to be finessed. 

Second photo....hellooooo, Mr. Spider! Incognito you were before! Didn't even see you the first time, but certainly couldn't miss you the second time! I left him to his spiderly way and we both benefited - me with a lovely (to some) photo and him with an undisturbed spiderly life.

  1. Very neat capture of the spider, I noticed something out of balance in the first shot. You did a great job on the close-up.

  3. I'm glad you posted that zinnia...a long time ago I bought a pack of zinnia seed that had a photo like that on the cover - mine were just sort of washed out yellowish.

  7. I love green flowers - the color is so vivid.

    I don't will excuse your multiple posts on my blog - however I will refer you to Nurse Nancy for evaluation and possibly a worker's comp claim if the students are the cause of your senior moments.

    Hub and I are heading to CT for a regatta next month. Maybe we will get to meet!

  11. The spider is very good at being Incognito.
    I didn't even see him until the second Image.

  12. That is so cool.

    Yesterday our cafeteria had YELLOW Watermelon .. I thought it was pineapple .. I ate a chunk and thought 'what odd pineapple, it tastes like watermelon'

    It was.

  16. Lovely green zinnia; didn't know such a thing existed! And the spider? Well, that's what worries me about spiders. They hide.

    Just FYI, I love your blog. Thanks for sharing your pictures and your upbeat attitude.

  19. Excellent shots, including Mr. Spider. Not the most attractive spider I've ever seen, but I guess it's good that he likes to hang out in green zinnias!
