“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” William Shakespeare

This marks the reappearance of lantana – probably not the last time as it’s colors and shapes fascinate me.

And, with the second pic I have added a new location – Mead Botanical Garden. This is a 50 acre oasis in Winter Park Florida, great spot for a break from civilization. I believe I spotted a reddish egret there, I will be asking my birding friends on Saturday for confirmation.

Natural World – Photo 101

Bark – Lake Claire, UCF – March 2015

This assignment was interesting to me. I take lots of photos seeking to expose lines and patterns in nature.

The top picture is a sparrow sitting among the lines of the water reeds. And needless to say I was shooting the sparrow, the pattern of the reeds was a bonus.

Bottom pic is an oak tree with a lonely air plant, hugging the bark.
