Jane Lurie Photography 
Reblogged this on ~ Trivial Music Silliness ~ and commented:
I follow several photographers’ blogs, mostly because I know my own hobbyist dreams are excited by the visual poetry I see in them. Jane Lurie is one of my favorites. Her images never disappoint! I encourage y’all to enjoy this post of hers and to follow her and spread the word.

Spectacular, Jane. When hiking the trail, there is so much to take in and as a birder I find myself most attentive to the birds. So it is with utter pleasure that I studied the glorious details highlighted in your photos here, Jane. Nice that you featured all the stages of life here, including the End of Summer. My two favorite photos were the inside of the lily, creature-like; and the elegant blooming hydrangea. Thanks so very much for sharing these marvels.

Such a nicely varied series. ‘Windblown’ really appeals to me. But then that lily does, too! (I can smell it!). And ‘Bonnie’s Favorite’ springs to life. The limpets and barnacles are interesting because we have them growing together on rocks, too, but not like that. The rocks I see at low tide aren’t as uniformly covered as this one. ‘Early Arrival’ may be my favorite…and I think it took courage to end with that proudly senescing daisy. (Maybe I just want to use that word). 😉

Hi Lynn, Always enjoy your reaction. I managed to fit in some close-up shooting on my recent trips and it is such a relaxing time to get lost in nature. Had to include one of my fave genres of flowers as they senesce (great word) … I fear it describes me, as well! 🤣 Thanks so much.
