while out in the garden this morning i noticed these tall stems of little tiny bell shaped flowers that were all drooped over due to the morning watering weighing them down. i know what this plant is but can't think of the name at the moment. i visually isolated this tiny pink flower and did an ultra close macro. i know that the focus is really too soft on this shot but i liked the way it looked anyway. it just seemed full of early morning goodness. this next shot was taken a bit further back so you can see more of the whole stem of flowers. love that water/flower bokeh in the background and the drops clinging to some of the flowers in this one~!~

this afternoon i made it into the rose garden and this opening bud was so pretty but did have some spots on it so i tried to frame it up so that they weren't so noticeable. i also did some in camera adjustments and liked what happened with the exposure and slight softening of color.

this one's for you Miss Tiffanny~!~

as far as collage work today i cut my newest watercolor paper background into 4" X 6" card bases.

and i discoverd that i could store them neatly in an old photo album that i had laying around. i'm fairly certain that i can't be the first person to discover the convenience of this organizational trick but i'm very pleased with the way it will work out. i have finished or almost finished cards in the front and backgrounds in the back. now if i could only find those missing backgrounds . . .

i also spent a while cutting out lettuce bits from my paper napkin and arranging them into the latest fairey fashion statement. no glue yet but a definate plan of action now.
