Wild Hyacinth?
Plantsnap suggests Small Camas, but I doubt that. Suggestions?
NOTE: See a later post where I photographed this flower at a more developed stage.

SOLD: One pile of dirt and a dream.
No, this is not my property, or even one I’m photographing for a Realtor. It’s a pile of dirt with a “Sold” sign in front. Whoever bought this pile of dirt has reason to hope for the mansion that will sit there some day. I get it. I too am sold on the HOPE for infinitely better things some endless day.

No time for tripod! Gotta run.
Don’t worry. The train was just sitting there, but I was in a hurry! Wish I had enhanced and posted a shot I captured with HDR Camera+ instead of this one. The sky in this shot was blown out. Adding weight with SnapSeed did not work out well–notice the banding in the vignette (I didn’t notice that initially on my phone)..

Small waterfall at Dallas Arboretum
I’m not very happy with the sharpness of this one. It was shot in low light with my Samsung Galaxy S2. I was scoping out locations at the Arboretum where I could capture water flowing in a long exposure. Since I didn’t want to get thrown out of the gardens, I stayed on the path, putting me about 35 feet from the waterfall, so it’s is also zoomed in, which doesn’t help! I did some editing with Snapseed.
