sunny day

for get pushed this week, Tara ( @sitiodown ) challenged me to "do something light and cheery, and colorful: something that portrays the beauty of the season of Spring"... she did say i could do it in B&W if i have a serious aversion to colour... i was going to post this in colour, but my niece was wearing a pink dress and the pink against the yellow/green grass pretty much defeated me... ;p

and yeah... apparently i lied about the dandelions... but there will be no more after this... promise!!!!

(Argh... Her arms didn't look this blown out in LR!)

This is gorgeous! You still pull off the summer feel in b&w.

[Tracy Meurs]

Really love this.

[Darinka]

Lovely composed!

Beautiful and light composition. I love it in b&w and feel often the same, when colours are bright and kind of harsh.

[Judith]

Lovely shot - tells a nice story and definitely portrays the beauty of Springtime.

[Issi Bannerman]

Great composition, and yes, very light and cheery.

Beautifully captures a lazy, care-free summer day and I think the b&w works really well

Wonderful shot and nice to see you focus on something light.

Very un-northy but very pretty.

I'd say spring rather than summer… the dandelion is the give away! But hey! What's in a title? The shot is lovely … and I would never have guessed that this is one of yours! Could be the cue to seriously break out…now there's a challenge!

[Amrita]

A delicate shot!
