For Macro Mondays 'Pastel' theme - this is the ribbon of a medal from this year's colour run in Reading, where people throw coloured powders over you while you're running, all for a good cause. I thought the ribbon had a nice range of pastels, perfect for the theme.

Final shots taken on the day as the sun rose higher in the sky on what was a magic morning at the beach. This one is from the archives and was shot using a combination of a graduated neutral density filter, polarizer and a 6 - stop neutral density filter.

Another painting with bokeh. Shot through a cloudy glass window which contributed to the blur and subtle reflections in the background. Found in the Palmengarten in Frankfurt am Main.

Dreamy.

Floating.

Soaring.

Pastels.

I think it's a shared human condition that we all have a deep need to dream and be inspired and long for beauty and joy.

In my photography I strive for the elements and subjects and colors that will encourage the viewer to respond with joy and inspiration and peace.

I hope this image will inspire and give you joy, even if for only a moment or two...
