A Great Summer For Wildflowers
Abundant rains in Northern Arizona produced a kaleidoscope of colors and hues in the flora at Kaibab National Forest and Grand Canyon National Park.
Everything You Wanted To Know About The Kiwi!
Kiwifruit or Kiwi is thought to have been discovered in China and was considered a delicacy among royals. They were known then as Chinese Gooseberry.
Seeds from China were introduced to New Zealand in the 1900s and were exported to the United States in the 1950s.
Today, the most common variety is the Hayward, grown almost exclusively in California. The fruit grows on a woody vine that can reach up to 30 feet tall. I took these photos using a macro lens to get in close
By helping to maintain a healthy blood pressure and providing a boost of Vitamin C, the Kiwifruit can reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease. Beyond this, Kiwi also contains a high level of dietary fiber. Fiber can reduce risk factors for heart disease by lowering LDL or bad cholesterol.
Blooming California Coast
Although California is suffering from a severe drought, the immediate Pacific coastline has enough moisture to allow the vegetation to produce blooming flowers. It is springtime.
Photo Of The Week- Macro Sunflower
Have you really looked at a sunflower closeup? Looks like stars or starfish around a scoop of beluga caviar. I used an extension tube, not my 105mm macro lens. The extension tubes are cheap and allow you to get in really close. They attach between your normal lens and the camera body. Kenko extension tubes come in a set of three and are available at B & H Photo where I buy most of my photo gear. Excellent customer service. Click on image for larger view.
