Don’t you love the sunlight glowing and glistening through the petals of the flower, and highlighting the fur and shiny eyes of this intrepid explorer?
Peeping over the edge. Will he fly or will he stay a bit longer? - Spring 2012

Shiny new leaves, rusty old post
Hmm. A friend said I like contrasts like this. I think he may be right. I love the contrast of the shiny leaves, newly opened to the world, climbing up the weathered, rusty post which has been standing its ground since some farmer planted it there so many years ago. It also makes me smile to think about how it appears that the post is sprouting new leaves for the spring!

Soft and New
It’s early spring and the soft, new shoots and flowers are stretching up toward the blue sky and the warm sun.
Stil pristine and unmarked, this small, yellow flower shows off in its new fuzz - Spring 2012
Spring Green Glow!
The glowing, yellow-green of spring leaves – Chartreuse – The color makes me feel a glow inside. I made this shot my monitor’s desktop wallpaper so I can look at it daily.
Soft, new fuzz on the edges - And can you feel the flow of sap through the veins?
Nearly Spent
This magic wand has been shedding little magical sparks. Just three are left. But see the magic glowing all around?
In the Midst of Magic
Magic Wand!
Did the humble dandelion ever serve you, or your children, as a magic wand? It is so satisfying to see the sparkling fluffs fly off like sparks of magic as you wave your wand and run through the field or across the lawn into your own, private, magical world.
Two little magic sparks ready to fly off
Common Treasure
I love this glowing, golden flower. So many people consider them weeds, but children know. From the golden yellow dust that children can rub on their skins, through the white milk they ooze when picked, to the magical, fluffy seed heads, these are some of the most fun plants around 🙂
