Papaver Rhoeas ‘Dawn chorus’, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger
Katie Rose Davis was born on May 13, 2008 at about 10PM at about 24.5 weeks gestation. She weighes 1 pound 14 ounces, and is in the NICU at California Pacific Medical Center. In the circumstances, she is doing very, very well.
The photo should, of course, have shown a rose for Katie. But it’s a Papaver from my garden that I photographed yesterday, smiling for the beauty amid the tears.
[Nikon D300, 200mm f/4 macro lens (300mm in 35mm terms), 36mm extension tube, three exposures with shutter speeds from 1/4 of a second to one second, all exposures at f/36 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
