I can’t bring it upon myself to kill these invaders, but my hibiscus plants pay the price. They get relocated to the spare lot. At this rate, it will be a relocation camp for caterpillars and snails! This guy was a huge one.

Night Studies, Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Sept. 22, 2017

(Please enlarge all photos by clicking on the first one.)

When I came home last night, the street light was shining on this hibiscus a day past its prime. That might have been due to the rain, its age, or this tiny snail I didn’t even notice until I put these shots on my computer and zoomed in a bit.  Playing around, I couldn’t decide on a favorite. At one point I turned on a wall lamp a few feet way from it, thus the different light plays. In some of the darker shots, either the moon or a street lamp can be seen through the trees. Interesting playing around with night shots. In some, I intended the grainy, painterly effect. Who would think I could take flower shots every day for years and still be endlessly fascinated? Not a professional.  Just a very engrossed amateur. Thanks, Cee.
