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.

A Rose and Spring Dreaming

My favorite flower today and quite an exquisitely

colored one, at that!

Is it Spring at your house yet?

We keep getting the Spring tease -

gorgeous temps and everyone rushes out in light jackets...

then it snows :(  Repeat.  Repeat.

Come on Spring and stay,

 please!

Happy creating to you. 

Through the Lensbaby Blog Circle: February

A lot of changes going on at our house of late...

we moved :),
 we've done some traveling,
visited with family - a lot,

met new people and seen new sights.

It's been a wonderful, busy, and kinda crazy time!

But, I'm glad to be back contributing to Through the Lensbaby Blog Circle
 this month with a whole lot of blue loveliness.

Next, please follow the link in our Lensbaby Blog Circle

Statice

Today is snowy, gusty, and cold in my corner of the world.

Instead of bland whiteness,

 I much prefer purple...

so, here's some Statice is all its purple loveliness for you.

Enjoy!

Hope you're having a colorful day.

Happy creating to you!

Bosc and Copper

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and

a new year filled with many blessings!

Happy creating and I'll catch up with you in 2016.

The Bells of Ireland

The world outside my window is looking pretty white, of late.

But, my florist helped remedy that with these gems,

the Bells of Ireland.

I had a lot of fun with their graceful curves and distinctive veining!

Happy creating to you.

Portrait of Milkweed

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving,

with lots to be thankful for!

Lensbaby Love Blog Circle: November

I went into the florist's shop intending to purchase some blue or purple flowers

 for my Rainbow Macro Floral Project/Newton's Spectrum.

I came out of the shop with flora in autumn hues.

I guess I couldn't let go of the beautiful colors of the season.

So, for this month's bit of Lensbaby Love first up you'll find some

 Australian Protea.

Next, the rich color of dyed, seeded Eucalyptus.

And finally, leaves from our woods - 

the real autumn deal straight from Mother Nature!

Enjoy!
