LOL +1 on that!

Though, I think our Laurence has mastered the biggest challenge of photography of them all: selection, selection, selection.

Edgar and Jussi:

Actually the first one is just supposed to be an "example" shot that shows
the Sonnar is capable of some "swirly bokeh" similar to the Trioplan! Very Happy

The second shot was definitely put there though, because I like it. I am
glad you folks liked it too. I enjoyed seeing the white variant on a
Skunk Cabbage, as 99% of them here are yellow. I don't think it's
considered a mutation, for some reason - just a species variant.

Thank you!

Thank you, as always Klaus!

However - - - I'm longing to see some more UV images from your
collection. Crying or Very sad So, to make that sad face into a happy face, I think
you need to give us all some entertainment with those beautiful
out-of-this-world images.

Always a pleasure seeing your work, Laurence! Love that 2nd one, too bad
it's not a 'scratch and sniff' photo, we have skunk cabbage in my home area, too. Smile

Hey Bill! Do you have the white Skunk Cabbages there? I understand that
they are more prevalent in wet areas of the midwest and east coast.

Laurence, yes, I've seen both varieties (thought they were the same at the
time, thinking the white ones were newly-opened and the yellow had been
out awhile Embarassed ). There are plenty of backwater marshes off Pend Oreille
and other lakes (we have a good number) where you will see skunk cabbage.

I see...I know there is a sort of "wandering changeover" line somewhere
along the Rockies, where the plant comes in mostly white east of the line
and mostly yellow west of the line. I'm assuming that the Lake
Pend Oreille area might be part of a transition zone in that changeover.

Laurence, could be, dunno. On Black Mountain near the Talache Landing is
sword ferns like the Olympic Peninsula has, no where else have I seen them
in my home area.

Wow, a GREAT link! That first image is spectacular! Diving down through
the Internet, I'm finding that there are at least 5 variants. Way cool. Cool
