    Spring flowers are just around the corner...

    I took a short hike on my lunch break today near a local park, and I came across a pretty little field that had all sorts of wildflowers blooming and sunflower plants growing all about. So I shot a few and put them together in this little collage, as my way of anticipating the Spring bloom that is to come.

    Thanks for that little taste of Spring, very well done. I can't wait for those little buggers to start poping up. Woke up to snow here this morning and 25 degree weather. Earlier this week though it was in the high 60's. Kentucky weather is always changing.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thank you, everyone. I'm glad you liked the photos. Can you tell I'm itching for spring?

    It must be nice to live in CA where stuff blooms all year around. I participated in a Macro project recently and had to find a flower "hot house" to get some Macros of flowers.

    For the essence of a work of art is, after all, that it cuts out a piece of the endlessly continuous sequences of perceived experience, detaching it from all connections with one side or the other, giving it a self-sufficient form as though defined and held together by an inner core.

    Nice collage Ray!!

    I can't wait for spring either. I've never done much with wild flowers, but I'm planning a camping trip down to the Anza Borrego Desert over my boys Spring Break. With all the rain we've had this year, I'm betting the desert will be painted quite beautifully. If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know and I'll keep y'all posted!
