The recent heatwave in Chicago has passed, and for the past 2 days the weather has been wonderful.
I love the way the sun has been filtering through the trees, creating a spotlight effect on an otherwise shady area of my yard. The result is these 2 dramatic photos of day lilies. These photos are "raw", unretouched and fresh from my camera.
And an old weathered fence...
My sister brought me flowers last week, which lifted my spirit. I decided to photograph the flowers in a way that would convery how they made me feel. I feel loved. : )

Ahh... well done! You have an excellent eye in composition. The first two photos reminded me of something I read many years ago. "The darkness and the light are both alike. I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
ReplyDeleteAmazing, you have such a sense for details.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck!
