Lantern foo foo by maggie2

Lantern foo foo

I hung this on my window to dry in the fall and on the sunny days the light shines through it for a few minutes early morning. The rest of the day it looks like a dead weed hanging there, but those few moments are enough for me to keep it there.
Very nicely done photo

I love these Chinese Lanterns. Excellent detail in the veins and cracks.

Lovely light and detail. Like the veins and the way the light shows through like a stain glass window. Terrific Shot, Maggie!
January 28th, 2012  
Wonderful how the light shines through things (such as my own photo I just uploaded). The clarity of the veins is so nice.

This shot evokes strong emotions for me. My grandmother always had Chinese Lanterns around her home...I haven't seen them in years. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
