Twin City Photos

This is a Centaurea, a member of the Daisy family of flowers.

I shot this in the morning before going to work, right next to my house. By the time I got back it was over. At F1.8 the DOF is very shallow. Somewhere in this ball of seed something is in focus.

Spring in Minnesota is at it’s peak. Many plants have already shed their blooms and are now working on seeds for the next generation. This one along the side of our house has yet to bloom. To be honest I don’t even know what it is, but I believe it will have some lovely white bells. Check back in a couple of weeks.

Sorry Jake, didn’t like the shots I got last evening. I’ll have to try again.

Just a week ago these leaves were still curled up like little tubes, now they’ve opened up, all vying for space. Not to worry, there’s plenty of room for all of you. Soon they’ll all be spread out each claiming it’s bit space in cooperation with its neighbors.
