I'm not really even sure how to describe these images.
A bit speechless - which is very unusual for me :)
My Aunt used to press flowers and make her own stationary.
Every occasion a handmade card would come in the mail,
the beauty of the most common flowers and foilage was exposed there...
forever preserved within.
I cherished them, tucking those bits of paper away...
Thats what these images remind me of.
Photographer Dawn LeBlanc is documenting nature's exquisite radiance for all of us -
a reminder that we don't always have to create new visual treats,
we just have to be mindful of the ones we are overlooking.
Lizanthus in Space
Broken
The Sprite
Dahlietta in White
Leaves I - this was the image that led me to Dawn's work..
and finally.. Red Sunflower, can't you feel it's pride in a job well done?
Stunning. Open-mouthed gaping.. so wonderful.
Tomorrow the extended family arrives for a beach day and overnight visit -
catch you on the flipside :)
til next time...
