Cattails.
Weeds.
Overgrown brush.
Barren fields.
Overlooked landscapes...
But when captured through the eye of my camera, these otherwise unsightly, unappreciated scenes have a beauty all their own.LEAP INTO SPRING

Talk about "stopping to smell the flowers" or enjoying the small stuff. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah, the cattail photos is really cool. BTW, what are cattails? Are they in the cotton family?
ReplyDeleteI can practically smell the fresh air from here. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures!!! Something happened to my Linky, my blog doesn't show up at all :-(
ReplyDeleteLovely! Makes me remember my childhood.

ReplyDeleteI just love wandering outdoors this time of year... there is so much to be seen and you capture it beautifully! :) xo

ReplyDeleteYour photos really do make me want to move near you! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese images are absolutely lovely. Just stunning.
ReplyDeleteI just love these shots. They remind me of summer evenings, actually, down on the farm in extreme southern Iowa. I always loved being down there.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, you've taken the ordinary and made them extraordinarily beautiful! Love these...
ReplyDeleteReminds me of us. We might see something imperfect, a "weed", or even nothing at all, but when seen through the right "lens" there's much beauty to behold! Thank you for those gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteI love photographing the little details and forgotten places that others might not find beautiful! I love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteNice! I love finding the beauty in places and details that others overlook (that is a major theme in my own photography).
ReplyDeleteWonderful, your weeds! Great light, soft colors, I love it!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day
greetings

The south is going to be more beautifully and thoroughly documented for having you here. :-)
ReplyDeleteNothing speaks love like a handful of weeds from a child on a spring or summer day.
ReplyDeleteWill this be your first full summer in South Carolina? I can't wait to see what you capture with your lens. You may even be able to capture the heat waves coming from the ground on an especially hot day. ;)
Those photos are AMAZING to say the least! Even the "weeds" look like a wonder bouquet choice!

ReplyDeleteI love your photos - they're so beautiful! They remind me of one of my favorite quotes by Wayne Dyer: "The only difference between a flower and a weed is a judgment."
