Weed Star by darylo

Weed Star

I'm a little obsessed with lighting and weeds these days. Love how the morning light cast the shadows under the gardenia bushes on the side of the house (where the robin's nest sits vacated--mom, dad, and baby have flown off!).
Beautiful! The little flower looks like it's peeking out of the blanket of green. Love the light and shadow.

This is beautiful! I love the lighting and the shadow of the yellow flower, and the repetition of shape from the petals to the leaves. Wonderful!

Seems like you and I are on the same track at the mo regarding natural light, if you can find that magic beam catch it when you can.

@twistergirl say whaaaat? Dude, if I didn't have you telling me, I would not even know--I came back to see if I could get a screen shot of the other one (and it was gone) and then this one was there. Weird!

@espyetta Yup, and I have lots of them to feed my addiction. :/
