When the image forces the viewer to search, a tension arises that lasts and holds the thought. Well kept distance, so as not to disturb and risk premature seed explosions.
I want to believe that whatever holds our attention online is occasionally worth the look.
Those premature seed explosions … I think they keep us young 😊
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Much appreciated! 👋
Hi John and thanks for your fine photos! Wishing you a great weekend…😊⭐️😊
You as well
I found myself pondering… wondering about the tripych, first the forms themselves, then the feeling of wanting to know more. Why the title? The footnote helped me on the way and I then found out the reason why the Impatiens Capensis ..or jewelweed had indeed acquired the further name of “touch-me-not”.
Thanks for such a detailed comment; that plant does have an intriguing common name.
Since you mentioned the forms themselves, it’s worth noting that you’re looking at pictures taken very close to the subject with a fast telephoto being shot wide open. When I’m doing this, I’ll sometimes set the focus for the minimum distance and move closer or further away until the right feeling is there. On a 35mm camera, my f1.8 telephoto is the same as a 150mm. Hope that info is helpful!
Thanks John, that info is very useful!
Good to hear!
Oh, I love these
These “swooshed” images contain the surprise of Touch-me-nots, those good companions along well-traveled paths.
“Swooshed” is a fine descriptive term. These were a lot of fun to shoot
I bet they were! And in between you could pop some seed pods. 😉

Of course!
