Ponds must be a theme this week. They are popping up all over, I see.

Your body of photographs are simply outstanding. I so enjoy your subjects, the COLORS and your composition.

One of my favorites is the glass block shot at the station.

The framing is so cool looking. If I can ask, how is it done?

Thank you all for your comments. To answer your question, Frank on the glass block . . . I used a high depth of field and manually focused on the person. I played around composing through the glass until I got the desired composition and effect. I also did a little post processing by punching up the brightness and color just slightly.

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
