It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Ikebana
This is a traditional Japanese Ikebana flower arrangement, using among other things, Hosta leaves. I photographed this beautiful creation for a story on different varieties of Hosta. I usually photograph flowers naturally in the garden, but the chance to photograph this gem on seamless paper set up on the designer's dining room table set it apart from any distracting background, and I think we see it more clearly as a result. Its beauty is in its design and balance, and for me, a joy to look at and study.
Lovely.
