The Living Lattice

Marie Selby Roots 2012

Marie Selby Gardens were just a short drive south of St. Pete, located in Sarasota, Florida.

It was a great place to practice photographing plants—honestly, it’s a great place to simply explore.

One of the things that caught my eye on this visit were the large roots of what I believe was a Banyan tree.

When I started reviewing the photos on my PC, I experimented with some black‑and‑white edits. I stuck with that look because it brought out the textures, details, shapes, and shadows.
