Morning Jewels

'Every dew drop and rain drop has a whole heaven within it.' 
-  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sunday morning I woke up to a sparkling carpet of dew covering the lawn.

The dew was clinging to the unmowed grass and weeds.  The sun was bright.  Everywhere I turned there were little jewels shining.  It was a photographers dream.  By the time I was finished taking pictures, my jeans were soaked from sitting on the wet grass... and I had a smile on my face.  It is spring.  

Have you been enjoying spring weather?  

Today I am joining Kim Klassen's Friday Finds.  My top image was textured with Kim's texture avery and used Kim's Lightroom preset lightandairy on all my images.  

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

One More Dandelion

 

‘The world is only as lovely as I believe it to be.’  -  Byron Katie

I was walking with my daughter to her bus stop yesterday morning and saw a dandelion who’s fluff wasn’t very fluffy yet.  I came back home and grabbed my camera...

Today I am joining Kim Klasssen’s Friday Finds.  My images are textured with Kim’s texture cecile.   

Thank you for stopping by!!  I so appreciate all the lovely comments on my Pear images, thank you.  I find such inspiration from the community Kim Klassen has created, you guys are great.

Dandelion Seeds

It was my turn to mow the yard.  As I was pulling everything out of the garage, I noticed a dandelion seed head popping up above the grass, then another and another…  So I went around the yard picking dandelions.  I wasn’t thinking about removing the seeds so weeds wouldn’t grow.  No, I wanted to take pictures of them.  I put them in a bottle with water to save for later. 

Have you ever looked really close at a dandelion seed?  They are perfect weed making machines.  Their fluff carries them far and wide, and the seed is actually barbed to stick where it wants to be planted.  They are little miracles - or perfect disasters, depending how you look at it.  

Today I am joining Kim Klassen’s Friday Finds.  My Find this week is dandelion seeds.  My photos were textured with Kim’s texture waterfront 18.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!
