It was a breezy day so I can't believe that this turned out so well - nature in close up is so beautiful and I sometimes don't think we appreciate just how much beauty there is right under our noses

whenever I break out the $0.50 words, I'm always scared I'll spell them wrogn.

actually they are narcissus, not daffodils! what I wanted was to capture the translucent qualities of the blooms.

You can't quite remember what you wore to the big smash last year. Everything else about that night is crystal clear, but the outfit is kinda a cloudy memory. Well no fear! This year wear this stunning necklace so that no one, not even you, can forget how gorgeous you looked.

Made with delicate, transluent beads in snow jade, swarovski crystals, and silver seed beads. Silver plated findings.

The necklace is about 20 inches from tip of clasp to the end of the extender chain. Pendant is permanently attached and is 1 inch wide. Pendant sits about .5 inches high for a more striking 3D effect.

Translucent gold glass beads as base, accented by gold metal beads.

New project I've been working on. Hope to have a variety of pictures for the screen.

I still am editing photos from my bluebonnet trip. I don't have that many photos, but I just haven't had the time to do anything other than work, eat and sleep. But every once in a while, when I desperately need a break, I open Lightroom and post my results!

Best on black.

Interesting venation patterns. Found during a night hike in Manu national park, Peruvian Amazon lowlands.

Shot using a 90 mm prime lens (Tamron SP 90) with macro.
