I was playing with the camera (as I’m wont to do, right?) and snapped some photos of the Fraser photinia bushes (a.k.a. red-tip photinia, Photinia x fraseri) surrounding my patio.  Some of them turned out better than I expected, so I thought I’d share them with you.

Now you see why photography will never be my career—not if I want to make money, that is.

I especially like the last one because the sunlight shining through the leaf brings out all the details.
