Discovery

When pansies become a painting

 and where the wind whispers its impressions to soft and dreamy yellow daisies

Tiny speckled flowers fade in and out of their smudged background
like the breath of a flower fairy

When flowers and crocheted Mandalas blend together and connect

and a chalice of petals reaches up to brush the circle of life

A soft blanket cascades down to meet with a single flower

and all becomes muted and mingled and each object becomes part of another 
as they dance together in joyful abandon.



The discovery
of the 50mm lens
how it connects to all it sees
with a paintbrush dipped in watercolours.


I've just finished a very uplifting class
with Kim Manley Ort

  12. So very beautiful! I have a fairly new 50mm lens that I've been using more and more, especially after seeing images from several blogs that I follow that took Kim's class. The class sounds wonderful, I hope she offers it again, I'd certainly be interested! My favorite is all those speckled flowers. They are such different flowers and I love all that bokeh!
