Floating & Thorny

Photography Now & Then #130

Karen’s new floating shelves are up on the wall.  They are 5 foot long 2 x 10s.  I drilled the holes for the support rods, chiseled the recesses for the support plates, and sanded the boards before  Karen finished them using spar urethane to match the finish of the room.

I like taking phots of plants, especially photos where I can get a shallow depth of field (part of the image in sharp focus and part of the image out of focus).  Usually, by searching online, I can identify the plant.  Sometimes though, despite my best effort, I can’t.  I’ve included a closer cropped image below to display the thorns better.
