I don't know that this one counts as a study in light, but certainly the density of this hibiscus counts for something. It is just like the one I have in my bedroom in Philadelphia, but I believe that I may have photographed it in Kenya when I was there in June.
And now for my garden... Edamame ripening on their little stems show the hairs on both the pods and the stems. 
The lettuces are prolific but becoming shaded by the edamame; eating the leaves right from the garden is probably the pleasure I most anticipate everyday. This is bliss.
The squashes - God knows how many variations I put in - are overtaking everything, but with flowers like these, who cares? Look at the light tumbling through the orange petals!
From seed these little guys are sprinkled throughout the yard to keep animals away, but here is the real reason...
Deer. I came back from Kenya and what did I see on Oak Road but a doe with TWO nursing babes! I'd let her into my patch any day.
I have some of these black-eyed susans randomly sprouting in my vegetable garden, but this one I photographed in the side yard. It's incredible how the big dark center and the defiantly orange-yellow petals just make me grin inside my belly whenever I see them. Such simple joy!
