Brush with Nature

These lovely native plants, called Eryngium yuccifolium – or Rattlesnake Master, grow wild at my favorite local park. I loved their form, texture and simplicity when I found them, so I got low on the ground, and began to collect my shots. I created this interpretation of the plant to sum up my emotions while photographing it. The image is simple, but just complex enough to carry the eye around, and it would look great anywhere, all the while bringing nature indoors with a subtle contemporary twist.
