Through the Lensbaby Blog Circle: March

This month for our Lensbaby blog circle, 

I made images of Matsumoto Asters to share.

These asters are native to Eastern Asia.

They are categorized under the genus Callistephus,

 which comes from the Greek word meaning "beautiful crown".

I'm partial to the luscious lavender/purple hues that I found at my local florist but,

these asters come in a variety of colors.

Next, please follow the link in our Lensbaby blog circle

 to the inspiring work of Rachel Nielsen.

Enjoy!

Bees and Autumn Blooms

Cold autumn mornings leave insects moving pretty slowly or not at all.

The other morning, a couple bees fit into the later category.

They were excellent models, sitting still for over an hour!

I guess there are some perks to cold weather after all :)

Happy creating to you.
