Still haven’t figured out how to shoot cleome. Guess I’ll just have to enjoy it in situ.

I also took time to make some pix over the weekend in tandem with the usual scans …

Floating nasturtium flowers. (Couldn’t bear to throw them out.)

Stitched panorama. Place doesn’t look to bad, considering the neglect it’s experienced this summer.
