Polaroid posy

I love the combination of Polaroid film and flowers. When I saw these ranunculus blooms at my local grocery store, I couldn't snatch them up quickly enough. We've had so many gray days, though, that finding the right light was tricky. I'm pretty happy with these shots, but I'd like to try again on a bright, sunny day. This film definitely loves light. Mother Nature, are you listening?

Eye candy Friday

Polaroids and purple coneflowers...sigh.

Anticipation

I've been checking these buds regularly, just waiting for them to burst open so I can bring a big bouquet indoors to enjoy.



I can almost catch a whiff of that sweet scent...just a few more days now!

Hearts

Every year these flowers take me by surprise. The plant dies back completely in the summer and there's no sign of life for months. Then spring arrives and the plant makes up for lost time. One day, just a few inches of green peeking above ground. The next, a mound of leafy fronds and hearts dangling daintily from arched branches.





How I love the surprises of spring!
