Dew
Thriving Mist Daisy
Lawn Twinklers
Now and then, we need to look at the simple things around us with new eyes…from different angles.
This is a photo of my lawn early last spring – before the first mowing. I took this photo from just a couple of inches from the ground, early in the morning while it was still wet with dew. The circles in the background are all dew drops on grass in the background catching the light. Because I used a short depth of field with a telephoto lens, the background sparkles are out of focus.
It’s a simple image…but something about it is very appealing to me.

Poppy’s Purple Passion
This time of year you’ll see me post a lot of flowers. After the long winter, they are hard to resist.
This is a close -up of the very first Poppy to pop in Sara’s flower bed. I took the photo two days ago and it’s already gone – the victim of a strong breeze. However, there are several others that have taken it’s place.
Poppies are some of our favorites. I suspect I’ll post more before the blooming is done.

Lawn Jewels
We often miss the exquisite among the ordinary. For example, if you take the time to really look, something as ordinary as dew on your lawn can be exquisitely beautiful.
Early Saturday morning I noticed the sparkles on our spring lawn and zoomed in for a better view.
