A closeup of the spiral design of a spiral bulb

A closeup of the spiral design of a spiral bulb. This was taken on June 24th of this year, 2006 in Anaheim, California.

I took a series of pictures that day of a single bulb fitted in a ceiling frame, with the bulb both turned on and off. The frame appears to a bit off in this picture, though it does capture the beauty of the light and design itself, including the strands of dust on the bulb. The bulb turned on produced better pictures than when it was off, probably because the camera could focus on the light close to its lend more easily than it could from the light it would catch all around the place had the bulb not been emitting such a bright light.

You can see many strands of dust and other particles on the bulb; these things are not visible without looking this close at bulbs. Try this at your home also; may be pleased with what you find.

Portrait of a yellow-2-red flower

Portrait of a yellow-2-red flower

A picture of a flower that has parts which change color as they grow, from red to yellow. This picture was taken in the garden on August 25th of this year, 2006, in Anaheim, California.

This flower lies close to the other one shown in “Closeup of stigmas of a flower.” I called this flower a “yellow-2-red flower” as I do not know the name of this flower, and that name is the only way to distinguish it from the other names of other flowers that I can think of at this moment. If you know the name of this flower, please let me know and I’ll give you credit. There were many of these flowers close to each other, and they were all a bit above the ground, stemming out of the regular bushes that you see in the background.

This was taken using a macro-lens. You can see two strings of a spider web near the top right yellow part of the flower, crossing each other in such a way that they can also appear to be the same as the letter “Y.”
