I've been taking photos for a few years, but haven't shared many of them. Mostly, I'm experimenting, to learn, or to document over time something I find interesting. But I've never shared them with anyone.
I took some photos on 9-10 May 2020, because I couldn't resist. On 10 May, I saw a Twitter post from Derick Rethans, someone many of us in the PHP programming community know and appreciate.

The image it shows pushed me over the edge to begin sharing some of my own photos.
I took more pictures mid-month, and have just now figured out how to edit them a bit, and share them here.

Here we have an Opening, something we all need to be doing more now, I think:
A Shelf of Blossoms, almost:
I like the blossoms themselves here, in Blackberry Blossoms, but also the light and shadow on the leaves:
Life is replete with Wabi-sabi; embrace it!
I'll end with Mainsail and Little Jib. You may already know this is a Spathiphyllum, or Peace Lily:
I suppose I kind of know where I want to go with an image, but I don't know how to get there yet.
You didn't know it, derickr and elizabethn (both on Twitter), but you inspired me to start sharing some photos!
