Wishing for summer...

This was taken this past summer; not counting as my 365 pics, just an extra post. I was going into archives to find a fine art image that a client wants to purchase for their office, and saw this one; made me think of summer and wish it would get here!

As the colors melt away

Yellow daisy backlit, sprayed with water from a bottle.

And I dream of you in a field of yellow daisies, the sun is warm and the air sweet. Running, laughing, so carefree; as we lay under the shade tree you pick a flower for me. One petal...two petals and three; love me, love me not, what will it be? - :-)

The Rose

Winter blahs; bitterly cold; snow falling.
It is just too cold to be outside, so one improvises. Michael's and Hobby Lobby has great flowers that look increidable real. Combine that with spray from a bottle of water, and a simple light, and there is an image.

"...Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love, in the spring
Becomes the rose." - Lyrics from song "The Rose"

I have nothing; Only time, promise!

Well, I can't believe it. I was super busy all day and evening. Have only had a few moments this past half hour to stop and take a breath. So, alas, I have image today worthy of a blog. LOL. I took a few quick shots of things...hate them all...they bore me to pieces...they would bore you more.

So, I am pulling from my files. I promise this will be the only time in the entire year I do this. Pinky swear! And since I have to do this, and it will be my only time, I might as well make it worthwhile and post two images that were taken on the same day, same subject.

These two images are lilies that grow in our back yard in the summer. They are the most beautiful colorful flowers, and they get super tall. I am talking over 4 feet. Crazy tall. Maybe these images will break that darn Alberta Clipper that is hitting us and a very large portion of the country for the next few days. I have had enough of the cold weather. You know you are getting older when you decide you don't like snow anymore. lol. As a kid, its so fun. Young adult, snow is still ok, can be fun, don't mind it. Get into your 30's and beyond, and it just starts to piss you off. :-)

Stay warm everyone! And for those of you in warm climates right now...send some of that warmth and sunshine our way. We would love it if you would share. :-D

Welcome to 2009

Happy New Year to Everyone. May you blossom and prosper, and all your dreams come true in 2009. I hope this photo I have named 'Orange Dreams' inspire you to reach for the sky and look to the future.

Starting today, I begin my Project 365. My first official photo post will be sometime today, but for now I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open!
