Relaxation in the Garden by cdonohoue

Relaxation in the Garden

I had to do a shot that symbolized "relaxation" for me. I have been telling folks for a while now that discovering a deep love of photography several years ago = Prozac + Percocet. I lose track of time and the place that I am in becomes as small as the top of what will soon become a Pincushion flower. The only problem is getting up off the ground after I get the shot!

And thanks for the PP!
This is gorgeous! What fantastic colour and texture.

Such a clear shot! I understand what you say about relaxation. It's so wonderful laying out in the lawn on a wonderful warm day taking pictures of ants on the move or flowers blowing in the wind.
