“Central Park Conservancy” (Mary Sikorski)

Photographer Peter Barlow says: “The plants are called lupine. They are more common to Nova Scotia, but are growing in my Connecticut garden. The part I like best is the big round leaf with daisy petals.  My garden needs some weeding.”

 

“Hang Ten” — acrylic abstract wave (Patricia McMahon)

“Sunset Geometry” — digital composition combining photographed elements and Photoshoop manipulation. Ken Runkel calls this “a meditation on the interplay between the natural world and human intervention, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty and fragility of our surroundings.
