Oooooooooooh, I love the undersides of the daisies one!  I have a thing for interesting perspectives like that.

Thanks!  I think when you take photos a lot, you start to want to take ones that are a little different than the others.  Those happened to be in a barrel planter, so it was easier to get below them!

I used to work at a pet store, and found I got bored with the plain blue and red bettas, I liked the ones with white bodies and blue fins or something different.  But the red and blue ones always sold the best.  So, we also take more "standard" shots too, usually with a little twist if we can :)

Like this street light at night, after an ice storm:

Now you're REALLY talking my language with this photo!

I love b/w, love funky lighting, and love water in shots, whether frozen or liquid (I have a thing for reflections too).

Those pictures are wicked cool!  I love the ice storm one.  What kind of flowers are in the first pic?  Those are really pretty!
