” The Gnome “
I have been shooting a lot of flowers the last few days and been pretty busy at work as well, now I have some time too catch back up.
I shot a series of pansies and after looking at this one for a while I kind of got the impression it resembled a Gnome, the one on the Travelocity commercial comes to mind, I may be off base and little winter fatigued but I do see a likeness. And then again I could be way off base and we can blame it on age !
Hope everyone is well and thanks as always for stopping by.

About
Hello my name is Bernie Kasper and I am a photographer from Madison, a small town located in the Southeastern part of Indiana on the banks of the Ohio River, the area I call home has a rich diversity of topography and wildlife that make it a special place. From the canyons and waterfalls of Clifty Park to the wetlands of the Muscatatuck NWR the area is rich in photographic opportunities, hopefully I will be able to convey the beauty of the area and share any info as well about this place I call home

A gnome? yeah, sure, that’s it
Great Bernie, absolutely beautiful…

That’s a fascinating photo, Bernie. Beautiful!
I see the gnome, as well. Very sweet! Sorry I’ve been absent lately–mundania had intruded for a while there!
I Just love these colors together! WOW
Oh my gosh! I’ve seen you name on montucky’s blog and, I think, aullori’s too. Now, I wonder why I haven’t clicked on your link before. I love close-ups and your images are stunning!
Speaking of your entry “I Need Green” … me too! This image looks like it could have been taken at Acadia National Park in ME. I LOVE IT!
Nice to see I’m a promoter now.
Meanwhile, I just adore adore adore the thick yellow in this plant. I’m normally not a big fan of yellow however, that thick almost congested yellow framed perfectly by the thicker ice-blue filaments … dang, suddenly I feel like an inspired hungry bee! Brilliant shot, brilliant. (I dunno about the whole aspect of the dwarf and spent a lot of time looking.. it reminded me of cloud gazing with my kids… “nope, don’t see it… nope, um… {complete lie} oh yeah.. okay there it is!” 
The beautifulest blue and yellow I’ve ever seen! Nice shot Bernie.
Bernie, I think you do this image a disservice by comparing it to that ugly Travelocity gnome. (He should be so lucky!) Really, it’s a wonderful image. The colors and detail are breathtaking.
Love the colors and the combination of the two in a flower.

I see a little bearded fellow having a snooze with his hat pulled down over his eyes
It does have a gnome-likeness. Especially in the nose area.

It took me awhile to see the gnome but once I see it I think you’re right! Still, gnome or no gnome I like the shot.
wow, aweswome shot, lovely colors Bernie!
btw – did you say you did the matting yourself? was looking for some tips on that, if you did – what kind of cutter would you recommend?
I saw the gnome immediately – complete with bushy eyebrows. I’m always seeing things in my photos that blog visitors don’t get. Is it a recessive gene, Bernie? and I LOVE the colors. We had spring for a day here, now snow dump again.
Soooon!
Leave it to you, Bernie, to come up with a gnome-in-a-pansy. ha!
I wish we had pansies, but last night it froze here, and it’s 32 degrees this morning. I’m about to buy flowers just to have something to photograph!
Definitely a gnome – the nose and beard are perfect!
Not sure if I would have thought of it myself, but since you did, yes, it does look rather gnome-like! Beautiful photo!
Love the composition, details, and color. Super.
the beatiful color of the nature…good shot…the macro world is enchating!!
