Ms.Althouse, Will you be stopping by Milwaukee for summerfest. If so, you should blog about it and do a segment on bloggingheads.TV

Dan from Madison કહ્યું...

Not your first photo of the wonderful elephant ear hosta. I like them as well.

Irene Done કહ્યું...

Blogged hostas from the blog hostess. Sweet!

George M. Spencer કહ્યું...

Ooh, professor, you're such a tease.

Leaf us alone.

Heart shaped shields of bronzy green
In a shady place,
Hostas' emblamatic sheen
Fills the dimlit space.

ricpic કહ્યું...

Oops. Emblematic.

steve simels કહ્યું...

The return of vegetable porn!!!

Let it never be said that Althouse doesn't give the public what it wants...

Meade કહ્યું...

I love Hosta. Cool damp green shady summer gardens forever!

bill કહ્યું...

mellow, that's my style
Surprise, surprise ! ! so you rub your eyes
never knew uds, so cool as ice?
hear the vibes man, they'll stupify
ducks - categorise us as hardcriers
that's a lie, we know why we're occupiers
no blurs, but obscure styles, these are higher
profiles are low - as soon as we go
as a breeze straight from a deeper shade of soul

Did someone teach Ann to dupe the layer, blur it and put it on overlay at 7% opacity? I see subtle signs of that cheapest of the cheap photoshop tricks in this.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

djangone, my photo tweaking tricks are sooooo much cheaper than that. I don't have Photoshop, just iPhoto, and I mainly turn up the contrast and the sharpness a little, maybe lower the brightness, and maybe turn the saturation up or down or the hue or temperature one way or the other. And of course, I crop.

Bissage કહ્યું...

Mr. Simels has already said "adieu" to Althouse and yet he has commented, above.

It seems the vortex reaches all the way to France.

Bissage કહ્યું...

And gentlemen, when it comes to well-tended gardens, there ain't no bad.

Gertrude Jekyll said it first.

Just kidding.
