as simply messing about in boats."

Queen Anne's Lace, summer's regal blossom with

 her crowned head high above the denizens of the meadow

or bent low in benevolent acknowledgement of her kingdom.

“The bee is more honored than other animals, 

not because she labors, but because she labors for others.”

Roses are red...

July 23, 2015 {204/365} Roses are red...

These beautiful flowers were an anniversary gift from Eric. So was the camera that captured these photos. I've really enjoyed my Project 365 for the past two and a half years and have learned so much about lighting, composition, angles, and editing. Yet, as pleased as I've been with most of my pictures, iPhotography is quite limiting. These are the first photos taken with my new Sony a5000. In the coming weeks, I will be attending a digital photography course to become more knowledgeable about my new camera and to practice techniques that will further improve my skills. Thank you to Eric for seeing my potential and for encouraging me to continue learning and creating!
