Locally grown flowers, Ranunculus bouquet - Austin, Texas - 16 March 2008

So glad you liked the sketches, your kind words mean the world to me! I worry sometimes about the response I will get when I unveil things that are dear to me. I have learned, ever so slowly, that it isn't so much the reception, but the simple act of creating, it brings such joy. This sentiment isn't new, but so very apt. The photo above was taken during an afternoon of overcast skies. I have had to process it quite extensively, something I try not to do too much of with any photos I take. The weather forecast calls for plenty of sunshine today, so I am hoping to have a few naturally lit shots later today. I will share them with you tomorrow!
Happy journeys today!
