I've tried to accurately represent the scene in most of the nature photography I've done. The thought of intentionally turning it into an abstraction just made me uncomfortable. Finally, a couple of weekends ago, I decided I needed to get it done. The technique I was going to use was to set a slow shutter speed and allow the image to blur as I moved during the exposure. I went for a hike looking for suitable subjects.
The first one is a different view of one of our native shrubs, agarita (Mahonia trifoliolata). We've got them all over the property. I like this image because it reminds me of a star field or a fireworks burst. I'm not sure if one could tell it was an agarita just from the image, so perhaps that's abstract enough!

I took the second image right in our front yard. We have a several rose bushes in our home's landscape and they are all blooming.
