FLOATING IN BUBBLES
This morning I took an early morning walk at Thanksgiving Point. (Part of which includes many acres of beautiful gardens.) I decided I was just going to soak in all the beautiful summer flowers in full bloom as a result of a very unusually rainy and cool August and not worry about taking photos. So I forced myself to leave my camera at home.
I was doing great until the end of my walk which usually brings me to an enclosed garden aptly called 'The Secret Garden'. It is my favorite place to sit on a bench, smell the flowers and enjoy a beautiful little fountain in the middle of the garden. But I noticed that since my last visit they had changed how the fountain sprays. And then I noticed it was now creating these beautiful bubbles that I knew would be perfect as a backdrop for a flower photo. In the little class I taught on flower photography I challenged the group to find different and unique ways of presenting flowers, which I try to do as well, and I knew the bubbles and interesting water patterns would do just that.
Of course at this point I'm irritated that I didn't bring my camera with me, but I did have my iphone, so that's what I used to take the photos that went into creating this image. Guess the moral of the story is, not having a big fancy camera is no excuse for not taking photos or creating art! I hope you like it!
