Surrounded by nature...
This Stranger found a sunny spot to read the newspaper. This peaceful pond is one of several manmade water features in the SF Botanical Gardens. [Yes, this is a cross-post with Travels and Tribulations, but I really liked the serene image.]

Horticulture?
These strangers may look like mad scientists, but in fact they are a new generation of gardeners of a sort. They work for a large firm in Florida that produces about 200,000 plants a week using plant micropropagation techniques. If you have purchased a Boston Fern, Banana Plant, Colocasia, or Spathiphyllum plant recently there is a good change that these strangers or strangers working for a similar firm created your plant by micropropagation.

She Flashed Me
I see no reason to stop milking pictures I took this past weekend at JMU's graduation ceremony. So here's another from that series. This, I think, was the official photographer for the event. What I found fascinating is that the camera(s) she's using are Nikon D70's. That's the same camera I use. Of course it looks like she's using a Sigma lens. Actually it looks like it's a pretty big sigma lens (who says size doesn't matter). And her flashes are positively huge. I should stop now because I could probably keep these bad euphemisms going all day.

Am I Early?
I was at JMU over the weekend attending my cousin's graduation (let me give a quick congrats shout out to Jo Beth for getting through college). We ended up getting there a couple hours early, but this guy was already in place just sitting there. Of all the places to pick to sit, I couldn't figure out why he picked that spot. I never figured his plan, but I did think it made for an interesting shot.
