...of a store bought flower
on a decidedly winter day - when it's supposed to be springtime...
but no - temperatures have plummeted to 12 degrees - lest i remind anyone, it's april - boo! and my tootsies have gone into full revolt at this sudden turn of events - because not only have the temps turned toward the north - snowflakes are flying as well! sigh... nature is most clearly confused.
so i had to pull out a reminder - one of a bright pink subject - since no one can miss such a clear signal as that, right? it's a bright - bold - perky color - one which has left my eyes glazed over - dreaming of tropical lands - fruity drinks - sand strewn paths under my feet... where tootsie freedom abounds, with laziness in the sunshine of warmth - and there is a readiness for a...
happy day.....
...or using what's at hand -
to create illusions - artistic impressions... to have fun - play - experiment... in order to achieve the end result you want in a photograph. it's about having a plan - a goal - then choosing the path to help you get there...
i don't have any fancy-dancy equipment to help me enhance my photographs - make them appear to have more depth, better lighting or whatever... sometimes you don't need to have anything either - other than what's at hand - natural resources - available to us every day. lately, i've been learning to take advantage of those resources - following the example of my princess diva gracie, who has regularly found the wonderful properties of sunbeams - using them on a consistent basis herself... she is one smart kitty!
so i've borrowed her sunbeams - using them to compliment some tulips i recently purchased. i think tulips are the epitome of springtime - so to play with them in various ways - with natural light - and adding in other resources, has been a lot of fun right now...
happy day.....
nothin' like some spring flowers to brighten the day. i was a bit worried that snow combined with freezing cold temps earlier in the week - might have ruined the blossoms... but it doesn't appear to have done damage... yay! stems are standing upright - bees are continuing to buzz about - if anything, the cold may have enhanced the colors...
can you smell the fragrance?
happy day.....
