Growing Patterns did not arrive today. Sigh.

This image was considered for the book, but didn’t get in. One challenge we had with Growing Patterns was the fact that, in general, the photographs are taken very close to the objects they depict — so close that we weren’t sure readers would recognize the objects. In several cases, we included photographs from slightly different angles or of the full object. At one point we talked about using this image for that purpose, but decided against it. Richard used photoshop to edit out the background on this sunflower. It was a rough job and he would have had to fine-tune it if we had decided to put in in the book.

As the title of this post suggests, this is my 300th blog post. It’s amazing how quickly they add up when I post every day — as I have been lately.
