Nutritious Tears

April 02, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

When comparing red (or purple) onions to white (or yellow), the white may have more fiber and sugar, but the red appear to have more antioxidant value. The reds tend to be milder, are more often eaten raw, and more vividly photogenic. This image was shot with a macro lens and a flash just before the slice was chopped up for a salad.

Your nose tells you what's coming

My attention was captured by the single cow that was gazing outside the lot. 

You might not want to spend a lot of time downwind at one of the largest feedlots in Kansas, but I would find a day spent photographing the cattle a rewarding experience. I enjoy creating esthetically pleasing images of any subject I photograph, but the politics of feedlots make that a tough subject to pursue.

I've no idea how it got into the restaurant, but there it was floating in my glass of wine. I grabbed a snapshot before returning the drink. 

 


Springtime arrives at the Bartlett Arboretum

March 15, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

Established in 1910, the Bartlett Arboretum just south of Wichita in Belle Plaine, Kansas, is a lovely refuge among Trees and Flowers. Now owned by Robin Macy, the tree and flower park features a small lake on the Euphrates Creek. If you are ever in the area, the arboretum is definitely worth a visit.
