This begonia blossom landed just like this. My begonia is an artist.

Summer is
bare feet in the cool grass.
Summer is hearing the whistle of a breeze, as you stretch those same toes, to touch the sky.

how my shoot began
then, as always, it turned into fun and tears (everyone) and begging (mom), bribing (mom).
“Mommy will buy you a Mercedes-Benz if you just smile at the camera!”
Kids are crazy, smiling one minute, turning into the hulk the next. I have three children much older then these, but I remember what it was like to be like her.
At least, as the photographer, I can watch, laugh & snap away…then drive away. To my house, my kids being quiet as church mice. They don’t want to share or show or ask me anything. I am ignored & I am grateful.

Shadows of themselves
The shadow on the leaf was cast by the branch above it. To me it looked like a “Y”, I was so tempted to put an “A” and an “M” and use the shadow’s y to spell “Amy”
I still might! This is the underside of my tiny Japanese Maple tree.

this rose is from Saab Nursery
Which is why there are black at the edges. I figured out how to make red look natural. I have spent a lot of time dumping red flowers because I couldn’t make them look real. I guess I would figure it out on my own red roses. Ok, so I reduced saturation by almost 50% it was starting to turn black & white, then I upped the warm…a few other bells & whistles & I got this.
