may flowers [18/52]


Finally! Just when I thought Spring would never arrive, my little corner of the world is finally showing signs of life.

Better late than never!

I had fun hunting down flowers of all shapes and sizes and actually felt like using my camera for a change, rather than the boredom that’s hit me lately. Guess I just needed a change of scenery.


But the absolute best May flowers of all, are the ones given to you on Mother’s Day …

Roses from my beautiful daughter. It’s crazy to think she’ll be turning sixteen this year.

She was five years old just yesterday, giving me dandelion bouquets.

*sigh*

The majority of the above  photos were processed with the new Lightroom Preset Super Pack from Cara Rose Photography.  Cara is an amazing photographer whom I’ve admired for quite some time. Her flickr stream is a thing of beauty and packed full of luscious light and dreamy bokeh, always guaranteed to inspire. I’m so pleased to support her in her newest venture. You can find Cara on facebook, flickr and on her website.

    Oh my goodness, I love all these, but the green vine like specimen that’s all curled up is AMAZING.

      I think it’s a fiddlehead fern but I’m not sure. Cool though!

    beautiful may flowers — but i’m also partial to the little unfurling fern — so delicate — like magic!

      I love the little leaves, all tucked in tight.

    These are awesome, as always. I can’t wait for school and it’s responsibilities to end so I can really focus on my camera again.

      I don’t know if it’s too much working that affects me.
      I think it has more to do with the long winter we had.
      Who knows.
      Sometimes I look around me and feel like I’ve photographed everything there is to photograph. Which obviously isn’t true! LOL!
      I think I need to steer my car in a few new directions.

    I’m jealous of all your flowers! We finally have some teeny tiny leaves on the trees and I saw some daffodils in someone’s yard on my dog walk the other day. As always…love your photos!
