A Few Members of the Ranunculus Family

A Few Members of the Ranunculus Family

Ranunculuses are one of the families where every time I learn about a new member of the family I think WOW! Another ranunculus. I’m amazed at how many flowers I like belong to this family – and as I look at them – I can see some resemblances in their structures. Here are a few photos of member of the ranunculus family that I’ve edited recently.

In 2017, there was a wonderful exhibit of Chihuly Glass at the New York Botanical Garden. I shared most of my photos from the exhibit a few years ago. I recently came across a few I hadn’t shared so I thought I’d share them with you today.

I’ve recently added a new palladium-toned kallitype – Mother and Child, Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford, Connecticut Palladium Toned Kallitype – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/mother-child-grave-hartford-ct-palladium-toned-kallitype/

Statue of a Mother and Child on a grave at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford, Connecticut

This photograph is printed using the late 19th-century photographing printing process known as Kallityping. The emulsion is hand-painted onto the paper, exposed with a negative under bright lights, and toned with palladium. Each print from a negative is slightly different – so these are one of a kind images.

The photographs are printed on 8 X 10″ Bergger 100% Cotton Cot 320 paper. They are matted to 11 X 14″ in a white acid-free mat.

These one-of-a-kind kallitypes are available for $ 49.00

Music (and Dancing) In the Streets

Music (and Dancing) In the Streets

One of things I love to do in New Orleans is just walk around and listen to the music. Especially it the French Quarter – it seems like there is another set of wonderful musicians playing in the streets around every corner. And sometimes you come across people dancing to the music.

Here are some of my photos of New Orleans Street musicians
