Sunset Haze on Lilac Blossoms

Can it get any more perfect? I was out last Saturday evening with my sister shooting a photography video, and the park was full of lilac blossoms. The smell was just so sweet, I could have stayed there forever! In between some takes while shooting, I shot some flowers. :) The light was amazing. And the sunflare… oh my! This is as close to perfection as possible!

Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/640 sec.; ISO-100.

My lilacs are starting to come out of their “shells!” We’ve had some rain today and I thought I could maybe capture some water drops on them, but those lilac blossoms are sucking up all the water! They must be pretty thirsty! If you look closely, you can see some of the rain near the inside of the leaves. I’m getting really excited to see these bloom now!

My fellow I Heart Faces contributor, Miss B, opened a new class for her Souvenir Foto School six weeks ago and we were assigned to pick one plant and document it every week for six weeks. I chose my lilac bush and it’s been so much fun to see it grow! This is the last week of the class, but I think I’m going to continue on until these finish growing completely!

I haven’t been processing these too heavily, I have found I love them as natural as can be. I’ve just enhanced what’s already there! :) On this photo, I used a new action from a set I’m working on. They are based on my Photo Veils and they are turning out so neat! I can’t wait to share them with you all!

What Makes My Day

Today I was reading through my blogs that I subscribe to and came across a post at Shutter Sisters about what makes your day. This is pretty easy I thought, there are so many things that make my day!

Today though, I am thankful for pretty flowers. I love springtime when all the flowers start blooming. One of my favorites is my weeping cherry tree in my back yard. It is so pretty and it always makes me happy to look at it!

And my little family! My girls are sweethearts, and no matter how messy they are or how loud they throw fits, they always have little special things they’ll do that makes my day!
