Shattered

In preparation for Hurricane Matthew I froze some extra water. I was lucky enough not to need it. At first I thought I would just let it melt into the sink but I decided to have a little more fun. I took it outside to smash it against the ground. 

As I removed the ice from the tupperware I noticed the beautiful formations between the cloudy centers and clear edges.

A close up shot of trapped bubbles looking like a miniature explosion frozen in time.

Some of the lovely shattered fragments. 

Love Bite

Ever since he was a kitten Kobi loved to chew on my fingers. Almost three years later and it is still one of his favorite ways to wake me up. 

Vortex

Florida weather has a way of creating some impressive sunsets. 

Mandala (Part 2)

A second installment on the power of coloring. 

I chose to keep the torn edges in the photographs as a reminder of my child-like glee as I ripped the pages out of the coloring book. 

Little Lime Green

Little lime green bug lost on the leaves stuck to my car. 

Red Button Ginger

I have a striking Red Button Ginger plant right outside my apartment. The four foot tall stalks have a cone shaped bulb that releases one flower at a time in a spiral pattern. 

The bulb has a sweet nectar that attracted several ants.

Each flower only blooms for one day. Here you can see a withered flower, one in full bloom, and one about to emerge.

One stalk had a bulb that consistently produced twins. 

The Shaded Expanse

Gorgeous textured storm clouds given dimension by the setting sun.
