My thoughts



We recently went to the Botanical Gardens near where my daughter and granddaughter live.  It was beautiful!  It was sunny and warm... a far cry from what it is today here.  One of "L's" favorites (besides being with her favorite person) was the huge glass structure that they had right inside the door up above our heads.  I had my travel camera and couldn't even get the whole thing in the frame! They had these structures throughout the gardens in different colors and shapes.  I love to take macro shots and different angles of flowers.  I use them in my other work as well as backgrounds or textures.  Possibilities are endless. Which takes me to another part of my thoughts today.  I have taken on a dance studio for some fun and creative ways to benefit us both.  I was there recently for a practice that they were going through. They are SO talented!  I watched the instructor give them a "many" step addition to their routine and they pulled it off like they had been doing it forever.  I would take them into the other part of the studio in between practicing and a much needed water break for some candid and fun images.  Then I put the two recent loves together and this is what I came up with.  The flowers are from the gardens and the dancers were showing me the scope of their talents. Magical!
