Nothing exciting really, but it looks like this is what I'll be seeing every day this Spring walking out of the apartment. Not a bad view I suppose.

Each segment of a pineapple starts out as a purple flower, the color is still there before it fully ripens.

EinsteinsGhost: Forgive me for being so bold, but may I ask a question? Do you ever use the histogram function of your camera? I know it has one. Several of the images you've posted recently (and not so recently) have had extreme clipping in the highlights, especially in the red channel. This is not good at all, as once that information is gone it's gone forever.



I'm not sure if your camera's histogram has a color channel view, but if it does it can come in very, very handy, because usually one color channel will clip before the image as a whole does, and for various reasons it's almost always the red channel that goes first. If you already know this and the photographs are the way they are for a reason, then please accept my apologies.
