Around back

I enjoy creating these matrix composites. It is a way to include many images, each of which may not be interesting by themselves, but together they form a puzzle like image with lots of details.

The photos were taken at an outdoor shopping center. It has been said (not sure by who) often the best pictures can be found around the back where there are trivial details not intended for the general public.

Sometimes that is how I feel. :-)

Basket weave

Anhinga

This is an immature anhinga, a bird sometimes called a snakebird because when it swims its body is below the water line and only its long snake-like neck and head shows above water.

Half dead

Back of the blossom

Staying close to home means fiddling with things close at hand, like house plants.
