Taking chances


Sometimes I let my camera do the seeing for me, especially when my subject is close to the ground and turning my head upside down doesn't seem like the best idea. I never know what's going to happen when I take pictures in this way, but there are always some pleasant surprises, like the sunlight streaming through these Wild Phlox flowers. Taking chances is one of the best things you can do with your camera. Get out there and play!

oh my goodness, this photo makes me wanna cry. Aside from the fact that purple is my fav color, I can't believe all the emotions it seems to embody.

Candace - Oh, I hope it's happy tears that this makes you want to cry! "Peace" and "hope" are the two things that really come to my mind while looking at this. Hugs to you!

This has to be one of the most beautiful photographs I have seen in quite some time. I am a sucker for subtle photos that only hint at what you're trying to convey. Thank you thank you thank you. Carol
