About Me
- Ellen Glanz
- I am passionate about photography. I find joy in the unique combination of light, color, line, and pattern that I capture as I look through the lens. Photography builds on serendipity; I am challenged to create from what the environment provides. I photograph to express my experience, to attend to what I might otherwise miss, and to connect with others. Macro photography, landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, as well as images portraying the variety and universality of human experience, all appeal. I’m using this blog to explore juxtapositions, pairing photos that have something in common and something different; themes and variations; different angles on an idea. Hope you enjoy.

The unidentified plant looks like a pitcher plant. They are fairly common in swamps and bogs in the south. They grow in poor soil and are carnivores with a sweet scented liquid inside and downward pointed hairs inside that trap insects until they fall into the digestive fluid at the bottom of the plant.
Wow, quite a plant! Who knew carnivores were so pretty? Thanks for the info - I'll change my header.
