Kiss my Grass by alophoto

Kiss my Grass

I went on a quest today to find spring. I ran around the neighborhood crawling around people's yards shooting early signs of spring, daffodils and such and then went back to my house and shot my grass. It looked so pretty sparkling in the sun.

Afterwards, I had to change my pants...all wet from dew and mud. Worth it!:)

And now it is snowing. Go away, snow, come back next winter!!

Happy weekend!
lol! now all I can think of is Flo from Alice

@hippiechick13 LOVED Flo!!!

love the title- love grass too, wish it's not illegal, hA!:)
March 27th, 2015  
@joemuli I didn't get arrested for this. Maybe I should have.:)
March 27th, 2015  
lovely little bokeh
March 27th, 2015  
Love this sort of bokeh and colour! Your settings don't give me much learning on how to take such a good photo. I would have thought a complete change would have been necessary! Love the title - just get rid of the 'grrrr'! fav

Nice shot, beautiful color and great dof. Makes me want to walk barefoot in the grass :-)
March 27th, 2015  
@maggiemae I only wished it had better focus. I just layed on my tummy and shot with the sunlight behind it. 400 ISO. Wide open aperture.

@marcoh I LOVE being barefoot in the grass. Too bad it was almost icy out there today. Just the other day I was in flip flops and doing handstands on the grass.

Wonderful representation of spring. Love it.
March 27th, 2015  
Magical!
March 27th, 2015  
Wow...this a great shot with great light, focus, bokeh
March 27th, 2015  
SPRING!! So pretty with the sparkles in the sunlight. As long as it was only mud and water on your pants you'll be okay :)
March 27th, 2015  
@kiwichick Or so I say:).
March 27th, 2015  
Lovely bokeh and green grass! No sign of spring here in Philadelphia!
March 27th, 2015  
I see Spring - love the bokeh
March 27th, 2015  
this is a beauty, kiddo. i won't do that though, dog poo or traces thereof all around here. maybe when the grass outside my window grows. even then, i carry a garbage bag to lie on. or i can use the camera with the vari-angle screen. :-)

@joemuli - hahaha!
March 27th, 2015  
Yeah, I'd be telling the snow to kiss my grass too!
March 27th, 2015  
How beautiful and airy, full of a promise of spring
March 27th, 2015  
Great capture, tones, and bokeh, plus title )
March 27th, 2015  
@summerfield What's a little dog poo on the pants?!:)

@loweygrace Hope you see spring soon!!!
March 27th, 2015  
@shesnapped Right!!:)
March 27th, 2015  
Great shot - you can always spot the photographer they have wet knees
March 27th, 2015  
Instant fav :)
March 27th, 2015  
lovely sparkles
March 27th, 2015  
@soboy5 I can't believe how green my grass is after winter. I did find a greener patch. Probably weeds:). Thanks!
March 27th, 2015  
@virtualbrownie Yes! Thanks!!!
March 27th, 2015  
amazing
March 27th, 2015  
@amandal - forgot to mention - the title alone is pure genius!
March 27th, 2015  
Love the bokeh
March 27th, 2015  
Beautiful
March 27th, 2015  
@summerfield I've been feeling that way a bunch lately. And then thought of the title and HAD to post it.
March 27th, 2015  
Lovely
March 27th, 2015  
lovely capture and bokeh
March 27th, 2015  
This is so beautiful! It's hard to believe it was shortly covered with snow again.
March 28th, 2015  
Pretty, pretty fav for me! Love the title very much, too.
March 28th, 2015  
It looks gorgeous with all the light and beautiful bokeh .
March 28th, 2015  
I absolutely love this! I've seen it with my eyes many times, but never been able to capture the same beauty with the camera. Most definitely will have to keep trying. This is just stunning. Fav

Green grass and bokeh! You couldn't ask for anything prettier! FAV
March 28th, 2015  
@milaniet Oh thank you...yes, keep trying. It was so hard to focus. And I had to lay flat on my belly on the ground...got all wet and muddy and had to change my pants and fleece. Get low, maybe manual focus and fire. I think I will try again when I get my new 35mm lens soon.
March 28th, 2015  
I lied down in the wet (still brown) grass yesterday to shoot some bokeh in a patch of snow still on the ground. I got wet too. To make matters worse, I didn't use the picture.
March 28th, 2015  
@bill_fe Oh poo!
March 28th, 2015  
lovely sparkles... really wish spring would "spring"!
March 28th, 2015  
love the sparkles
March 29th, 2015  
Well, I don't want to kiss your Grass, but it does look good enough to lick that dew right off of it!! Love the sparkle and it makes for some great bokeh doesn't it? FAV!
March 29th, 2015  
Gorgeous. Love the drops and bokeh!
March 29th, 2015  
Beautiful shot, Amanda. I love all the drops. Wow, more snow. FAV
March 29th, 2015  
awesome shot, a fav.
March 29th, 2015  
Love that one sharp droplet, very pretty! Sorry you still have snow!!
March 29th, 2015  
Lovely
March 29th, 2015  
Beautiful! Glad to see you are still up to your crazy neighborhood antics so you get the shot. We had snow yesterday. I am so sick of this weather. I can't wait until spring arrives.
March 29th, 2015  
Great pov, not surprised you got rather damp!! Lol 😂. Fav!!
