My youngest daughter, Michaela, and her gecko
Oldest daughter, Brienna
It was a cloudy day...
...the girls called the plant "Cloudmaker"
I tried to get a shot of it as we crossed the bridge so you could see the river.
Michael offered to pull over so I could get a closeup shot of the backside. I thought the effect of the silhouettes against the cloudy sky was hauntingly beautiful.
I have found myself more and more fascinated with the ways in which mankind has built up civilizations in adaptation/congruence/juxtaposition with nature. Because of this, I have been more apt to take pictures of nature that include the man-made, where last year I might have tried to crop out stuff like signs, water towers, power lines, etc.
The clouds were putting on quite a display.
On the way back to Cincinnati, the clouds were still abundant and ominous. This was a random shot out the window of a moving vehicle, but I like it.
