Daffodils Revisited

Round Two with the daffodils.  This time, instead of going for such a literal look, I tried a few additional editing tricks - things like desaturation, gaussian blur, diffused glow and dragging the shutter.  Mmm, mmm, but I like the results.

Dropped

I was arranging some of the spring’s first daffodils in a vase today when I noticed a few drops of water had escaped. 

I loved the abstractness of the shot and knew it had black and white conversion written all over it.  If you look closely in the big drop that’s my kitchen window being reflected in it’s lines and curves.

An Edge of Pink

It snowed again today…not much, but enough to break our twelve day streak of not seeing white stuff fall from the sky.  Still, I refuse to let it get me down.  I’ve got it on good pretense that spring is about to break out and send winter packing.  I wasn’t sure whether to believe it - until yesterday when I saw an edge of pink.
