Macro photograph of a tiny greenish crab spider, perched on the side of the black center of a yellow rudbeckia flower, its legs spread in the typical ambush position. The yellow petals of the flower, seen from the side, contrast with the bluish-green background.

Cup plant - Silphie perfoliée (Silphium perfoliatum)

#wildflowers #nativeplants #flowers #bloomscolling #countryside #photography

Close-up photograph of the yellow flowers of Silphium perfoliata, resembling large daisies with yellow centers but yellow petals. The plant grows along a roadside, its very tall stems bent almost horizontally by wind and rain. The focus is on the flowers in the foreground, close to the ground, while the asphalt road with a yellow line down the middle, bordered by green forest on both sides, is blurred in the background.

Photographie en gros plan des fleurs jaunes de Silphie perfoliée, ressemblant à de grandes marguerites avec des centres jaunes mais des pétales jaunes. La plante pousse sur le bord d'une route et ses très hautes tiges ont été couchées par le vent et la pluie, presque à l'horizontale. Le focus est sur les fleurs à l'avant-plan, près du sol, mais la route asphaltée avec une ligne jaune au milieu, bordée de forêt verte des deux côtés, est floue en arrière-plan.

16th and Bryant Street, yesterday, about 3:45 p.m.

Note: I've been waiting almost 6 months to take this picture. Although I drive through this intersection every other day on my way to the gym, I usually don't have my camera with me... and the afternoon sky on that part of town rarely has the cloud coverage I've been looking for.

This intersection has a ton of overhead wires for electric buses. (There's a MUNI bus storage yard right around the corner.) The dozens of wires are eye-catching, and I made it worse by wandering around, snapping multiple pictures, then merging three of them in post. Because art.

Also: the shot I really want would be nearly impossible: a single, wide angle shot from the center of the intersection, looking straight up. 16th and Bryant is an extremely busy intersection, with traffic flowing constantly. I do not wish to die.

More notes in the alt text.

#photography

A monochrome picture looking up at a cloudy sky from the corners of an intersection with many overhead power, electric bus, and communication wires. Six power poles shoot up from the lower corners of the picture. Dozens of criss-crossing wires fill the frame.

This is a merge of three separate photos taken while wandering around the corners of a busy intersection on the edge of the Mission. The merge is done in Photoshop using the Dark layer blend. Dark Mode allows darker pixels from upper layers to overlay lighter pixels on lower layers.

This Dark Mode technique to merge pictures doesn't usually work as well as you would expect it if a scene has depth, as it can cause dark areas in the distance to seemingly jump forward because they overlay lighter, closer objects. In this case it didn't matter... probably because the poles and wires in the foreground were all about the same amount of darknese while the brighter pixels, which got overlaid, were all from distant clouds. In other words, the bright gray sky remained where it should: in the distance.

And that explains why I had to wait for an overcast day to make this work.

Went to a family wedding and did some touristing in Australia, where we have friends & rels. Came back with lightweight observations and a few decent pictures: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/10/12/Aussie-Visit-2026

Six Storks (2026)

(Since it's hard to convey the scale of these antennas, please use the cute storks resting on them as reference... 😍)

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Architecture #RadioTelescope #RaistingEarthStation #Sunrise

Wide-format view of some of the different antennas at Raisting Earth Station just before sunrise. Five storks are resting on the top edge of one of the parabolic dishes on the left, another single stork is sitting on another antenna further back. Clear pale peachy sky gradient.

Headed into downtown New Bedford to check out the newly-unveiled statue of Herman Melville by sculptor Steff Rocknak today, since I wasn't able to sneak out of work for the unveiling itself.
