I photographed this Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) blossom from our garden on a light box. The blossom was positioned upright with an improvised holder constructed from paperclips, tape, and an empty…
While I was in Iceland, Phyllis was not idle. With four kids at home, this should go without saying. But she also found time to catch up with our webinar…
