Garden photos

It’s July and the garden is in full bloom. Here are some pictures. I realize now that I took a bunch of closeups so you can’t see the overall height and maturity of the plants themselves. So, instead, just enjoy the closeup details.

The cilantro is doing great. Here’s a closeup of a few of the leaves:

The basil is looking a little sad in this photo, though it’s doing good overall:

The cherry tomatoes have fruit aplenty. It’s still green but we can’t wait until it turns red:

The bell pepper plant is looking great, but there’s no sign of fruit forming. Is that a bad sign? This is the first year trying bell peppers, so we’re not sure what to expect:

Unfortunately, we have a wasp nest not too far from the garden. On a positive note, they don’t bother us:

Thanks to Emily — I shamelessly copied her idea for the post.

I’ve been looking to try to improve my “still life” photography. This was taken with one flash and filtered sunlight through a window. Hope you enjoy it.

I am the appointed photographer at many of our meetings at the office. Often, that means trying to take interesting pictures of what one of my colleagues calls “talking heads” (i.e., they’re just not that interesting). But sometimes I get to meet and photograph some famous and/or interesting people. Here are two from the files:

Dennis Wilder, Special Assistant to President George W. Bush and Senior Director for East Asian Affairs at the National Security Council

Christopher Hill, Ambassador to Iraq (at the time, he was Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs)
