I took this at Mom’s today. I really don’t know the name of this but ‘Dragon Flower’ seemed to fit. Anyhow, it’s very pretty. Click for the full-sized image.
Water Feature 3D
I’m surprised at how good this 3D image turned out. Since I take the image pairs seconds apart in time, the motion of the waterfall and the fish in the pond would spoil the stereo effect. But I got lucky and it all seemed to work out. Visit my 3D Stuff page for more information about stereoscopic pictures.
This is the new water feature at the South Coast Botanic Garden – a pond, stocked with Koi, a rippling stream and little waterfall. Click on the image for the big anaglyph.
Just in case you don’t have your 3D glasses yet, you can see the 2D version here.
Verna’s Coup d’ Grâce
We have a lot of fun when we go to the shooting range. Today, Verna was shooting at a silhouette target with her 20 gauge Remington 870. She gets such a kick out of demolishing the last hanging vestige of the target.
The Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale
We went to the South Coast Botanic Garden today, to see the Cactus and Succulents. We also went into the garden for a while.
There were hundreds of varieties on display – too many to have to settle on any one, so I’ll just pick out one that caught my eye as we went through the display. This round cactus with multiple bright red buds stood out among all the beautiful plants. Click image below to enlarge.
Looking Into Grand Canyon – 3D
The purpose of this 3D photograph is to attempt to impart to the viewer, a feeling of looking downward into the canyon from the rim. You can see the downhill layers of rock progressively appearing deeper and deeper, with the canyon floor far in the background depths below.

I shot the stereo pair used to create this image during our summer 2008 trip to the Grand Canyon. I shot quite a few stereo pairs during that trip, and just now getting around to producing these 3D images.
As always, if you don’t happen to have a pair of 3D glasses, you can view the 2D version here, but this version doesn’t even begin to impart the depth found in the 3D version.
Freesia
It’s time for the freesias to pop open. Here’s the red ones – blue haven’t opened yet, but there are buds forming. Click the image for a closer look.
