Yesterday found Joan and I in our kayaks on the Connecticut River in Hinsdale, NH. Joan was hunting rare plants and I photographs.
The weather was partly sunny and as long as the sun covered, not too hot. The thermometer in the car read 92 oF as we headed home in the mid-afternoon.
The abstracts are a collaboration.
For the first four photographs, a long gone graffiti artist applied paint to a concrete bridge abutment. Weather and time did their job. I framed and “captured” the final work.
My collaborator in the final work was mother nature. She provided an iron oxide stain on a rock just at the waters edge.

Joan’s survey site was near a number of large beds of cattails along the riverbank, I had an enjoyable time trying to find interesting photographs where plant emerges from water. (Being low to the water in a kayak enforces a certain viewpoint.)
I also looked for photographs along other parts of the riverbank, but was only satisfied with one.

The ripples in #1 above added to the amazing shot. Reminded me of spaghetti!
As for the abstracts, there was a guy who wrote an article for PSA about Dumpster Rust. some of yours reminded me of the article and images. Lots out there in Nature if we only take the time to stop and look around. And, if you happen to have a camera, that’s a bonus!
