Flowers from Filoli

Clichéd, maybe, but I like the almost sugar frosted look about them.

Set the magenta controls for overdrive. (From Alameda’s golf course. Looking in through the fence.)

Pampas

Pampas

There’s plenty of clumps of Pampas Grass growing in Alameda, CA. But I can’t for the life of me remember how this one was lit…

Unfurling

A fern frond unfurling below a Michocan sky.

El Condor Pasa

If indeed it is a condor. This photo’s here because I liked it being a shot from above or the same height as this bird. It’s taken from the top of La Quemada, ruins in Zacatecas.

Copal

According to our guide at the Guachimontones, these berries/nuts/things are used to make copal, a traditional incense used in Mexican rituals like the Day of the Dead por ejemplo. Although something may have been lost in the translation… Pretty though aren’t they.

Tequilascape

View of Dr. Jaime’s weekend getaway through the pencas of an Agave Tequilana Weber.

Potassium Flower

Potassium Flower

Bananas growing in an abandoned carpark in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Aren’t they herbs or something unlikely?

Ecoturismo in Tulum, Mexico

Doesn’t get much better than views like this from the beach by Zahra cabañas in Tulum, Mexico.

Lluvia en Tapalpa

They take it in turns with the sombrero I think…
