I want each of you to know how much I appreciate and value you and this special community we have made here. Thank you for reading and coming back each time I post!

Both images were shot with my Canon 50mm compact macro. I added a colorful bokeh texture to the second and even masked off the flowers in Photoshop but it didn’t look nearly as fun, so I left it on the entire image.

I know that will be amazing. I wish I could see it in person. Lucky lucky you!

Go easy on yourself, my dear. I appreciate your encouragement!
Love your blog! Wonderful photos and much inspiration! Thank YOU for being there for all of us!
So beautiful, Naomi! I love that quote. Flowers really are pieces of art, aren’t they? I have to say that I love planting flowers in my garden. I prefer them to planting food because I just love the beauty of them.
