Happiness is finding in the woods the first flowers of spring this year, the snowdrops. Its petals look like little wings that seem to want to provide the peace☮ we need right now.
“A loving heart, determination, faith, courage, trust, belief, truth, and a solid soul create the wings with which we fly.”

Thanks for all the support, for more pictures and information see blog. Happy weekend all!
It was a windy day and the dragonfly was clinging tightly to the branch as it vibrated back and forth. I fired a burst of shots and later merged them in Photoshop to create this image for Wing Wednesday, with added toning applied.

These flower look like wings of nature in our parks, streets and gardens. Thanks for visit and have a great day everyone, stay out of the sun or be at a shadowed location, if you know older people it does not cost much to check on them on days like yesterday or today to make sure they are fine.
Part of the sculpture “Wings over Water” is about 70 feet long and is made of steel. aluminum and high tech stamisol fabric. A continually changing light display washes over and around the kinetic sculpture from the fountain below. Created by Joe O’Connell, the sculpture stands in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center, Avenida de las Americas, Houston.
In the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails there are many wonders to see, from the great variety of flowers, which changes season to season, to all the winged wonders who visit all those varied flowers.
Our second destination at Dauset Trails was the Children's Garden. There were plenty of these Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies flitting about. I just love all those wonderful colors on their wings!
Not disappointed at Dauset Trails.

It must be the last flower photo for now.
Hey, I'm not a flower store or something. ;)
Try this ..... I honestly have no idea what flower this is. Its center looks like a cluster of small transparent insect wings when you look closely.

Between the pages
in a book of long ago.
Are written the things
only butterflies know.
Special are the leaves
that they've inscribed.
With the secrets of life
that their little one's abide.
If only we knew
the butterfly's way.
We wouldn't be working
while the butterflies play.
Lost
In morning light they softly glide,
With painted wings and gentle pride.
A fleeting brush of nature’s art,
That lifts the soul and warms the heart.
They dance through air with silent grace,
No rush, no race—just time to chase.
A lesson wrapped in colors bright:
To savor joy, to seek the light.
So pause awhile, let wonder grow,
Where butterflies in silence go.
Their beauty speaks in quiet flight
A tender gift, a pure delight.

I had to do another photo shoot wearing this *amazing* ensemble called "Spring Race" by [Aura Designs] because of her incredible texture HUD with so *very* many options... I should call this outfit "Autumn Race" as I used all of the orange-ish & black HUD colors to re-texture - I hope you like it!)

The art of growing wings can be tricky at first, particularly in terms of placement. Kind of hit or miss, esp. miss.
Have a nice Sunday.

Ruby Meadowhawk at rest on a Hosta flower...
I spent a few hours yesterday in our garden photographing these beautiful dragonflies.
Most of my images are from the perspective of a side view or straight on looking at their faces.
This particular dragonfly was facing me initially, then it decided to fly away, only to return with its back to me.
I quickly closed down my aperture to f/13 from f/5.6 so that I could hopefully get the wings in sharp focus.
Getting all those wings in focus is notoriously difficult when doing macro photography on these critters.
Thankfully they turned out sharp and in focus, so I'm posting it today for you to enjoy it with me :)
The lovely blue background is the out-of-focus hostal leaf from the exquisite cultivar Sieboldiana 'Elegans'.
