Artist's Comments

...and an uninventive title. Once again, a P&S shot from Lake Huron. I'll post some newer stuff soon.

Taking this shot was actually an interesting process. For whatever reason, I laid down on one of the lower ledges at the point to relax, and wound up taking some pictures of the limestone. It was a little awkward, I'll confess, and certainly must've looked bizarre to my friends, but anyway it paid off because of this shot. These little flowers are probably a weed of some kind, but somehow they were growing on the bare rock. In fact, there's actually several other weed-like plants that miracuously grow out there where there's no soil, and I always find them fascinating subjects. It's almost inspiring to see some inferior little plant of a undesirable variety defying the odds and flourishing where there's no soil and only fleeting contact with the powerful waves. (Here's another of my pictures of a similar subject: [link] )

Symbolism aside, I enjoy the colours - brilliant blue and purple, two "cool" colours captured on a really warm mid-July day. I took some other shots of this plant, each quite different because the wind was blowing the flowers around, but liked the positioning of this one best.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with how the sky and the flowers set each other off.

Haha, I was really just lucky. But that's part of photography, in my opinion. Thanks!
