Before I tried UV, I worked in a different 'invisible' light, Infrared.
I started doing infrared macro flower portraits, like this clematis seed head, during the 2020 pandemic isolation.
People are often still drawn to this one amid all my colorful UV work. I agree, sometimes minimalism is best.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

Senate takes key vote toward ending government shutdown
The deal that split Democrats doesn’t extend expiring ACA subsidies. If a bill passes the Senate, it needs the House to approve and President Donald Trump on board.
