Nature
In these albums I present individual elements of nature generally without a setting to put them into context. The photos are of a specimen of flower, a pattern, an animal, a bird, a plant, an insect etc. More or less how you would view them in a nature guide. But not quiet a steril I hope.
Flowers
Pictures in these galleries are devoted to individual kinds of flowers

Color is one of the first traits that catches our eye about any subject in nature. Whether bright or subdued, it strongly characterizes the subject.
