Rooftop Garden Friday, No. 3

Through the camera lens, I witnessed the wind's whimsy. Thankfully, I captured a split second of it to share with you, the blurred blossoms and the still blossoms alongside the sunlit buds on their impossibly slender and tall stems.

This rooftop garden is on the fifth floor of the six-story building where I work, the Multnomah County building. I found online that the garden covers 11,893 square feet as planted area, with a total square footage for the green roof that includes a patio and some raised beds of 15,420.

One more thing--this photo is straight out of the camera. Serendipity, brought to you by a Nikon D5100. Yea for me that it's mine to enjoy!

Rooftop Garden Friday, No. 1

Flowers bloom, making shapes with their stems and blossoms. In the background, the newest bridge across the Willamette River rises. I liked the juxtaposition enough to try to get a decent photo. A blustery wind got involved, too.

Nature's beauty, No. 12

Another cropped close-up from underneath the rose on the tall stem. Thanks for indulging me with my photos of these flowers, dew drops and spiderwebs.
 

The same photo, uncropped.
 

And here's the same flower a moment later, after the wind had rearranged the spiderweb beneath the petals on the right.

I particularly like how this photo turned out and happily cropped it so that you could see the wind blowing the spiderweb. Believe me, I felt extremely lucky when I uploaded this photo and realized that, thankfully, the wind didn't make the flower blow at the same time, or I'd have nothing but blurry dew drops all along the spiderweb.
