The Enchantment of Flowers


Every Flower can Inspire and Enchant..



Every Flower speaks silently

A Garden can Sing
inside the Heart
Eternally



Can invoke the secret dust of dreams

Flowers adorn poetry, love..longing..
even sweet tragedy

Gardens adorn our lives and memories,
our experiences..
Moments embellished by the Sun

The Enchantment of Flowers will never cease..

The dreams live on...and create anew
through Seed and Season
Life and death
Love and Rebirth
The Song of Flowers
The Scent of Infinity

If Bees Become Ornaments..


B E E S

Magnificent Creatures

We Cannot
L I V E 
without
Bees

What will become of them..?


Where Will They Turn?


How Long can they wait?


If Bees Become Ornaments...


Who Else Will Follow..

If Bees are faced With Uncertainty

So will others..

There is so much we Can learn about
and can do
to lift the burden
and help the Bees

Humans can be an Empowered Light
for species facing challenges
We All can Begin to Learn, Grow and Change
 to assist all Creatures and Species

They are waiting..

They are counting on us..


If Bees become Ornamental..
so will all of Nature..
and everything to Follow
The Bees Don't have to Fade..
we can create changes and assist them


Learn All you Can
And Support Nature as best you can

Nature is counting on you..


If
Bees
Become
Ornaments...


SO  WILL  WE

They are Signs of New Life, New Beginnings and Hope

Birds will bring us comfort when in need,


They bring Signs when we need Answers ,



A sign only we can Understand



They bring miracles when we have forgotten..




They become Guides when we need to find our way again..



They teach us to embody our Power and Spirit in New Ways



To Reconnect with the Lighter side of life..

To Stand up High with Promise



To Find New Purpose in New landscapes..



To Sing Sweetly when we have Found Home Within



Feathers adorn our dreams..to say we can fly..Anywhere!!

Which Came First? The Camera or the Garden?




For many Creative Types, Nature Lovers and Gardeners ....the camera has become a Permanent Companion..and an extra limb of creative expression.


For some...the camera has always been there.( even before the digital era)....
For others the Garden has been that Direct Arrow that led them to photography.


For some the Digital Era has brought a camera to their life. Or maybe even MORE specific..it has been the world of Blogging that brought them to the fascination of a camera-based life?




What came first for you?... Which passion created the other..what's your story?



What led you to the camera?
Whether that was your garden, blogging..creative pursuits or  a need to document?


...or was photography always an obsession?



Whether you are an amateur or pro..or somewhere inbetween..
...what drives you to photography?


What is your Favorite Subject or Content to photograph?




Do you look at this past-time as a way to record time, to creatively experiment?
.. or to just capture your personal history?



Cameras are a great part of eveyone's lives..I'd love to hear your thoughts..
What led you to the camera..what keeps you interested..what your Favorite Subject or Style is!



For me..I used to be obsessed with only Black and White photography, it took me a long time to convert to digital..I love it now and love to have fun with it. I used to be way more serious in my earlier years and now I just love to capture creative moments.




~My favorite subject is "Light and Shadow" and how it interacts with the content in that moment!
~Nature is my most loved scenery to photograph.
~My style and subject has changed over the years..a natural process as we all shift and grow and change..so does our craft and creativity! I especially love elements of texture, shape and atmosphere.

I created a photo blog "Heart of a Wizardess" to express my more creative side ..so if you ever feel like sharing your creative photos please do, or visiting mine you are welcome to.

Memories and Magic
Experimentation
Awe and Beauty of Life..Nature..Creatures

Seeing everything in a new perspective

Thankyou to everyone..I have really enjoyed all your photos..from all various blogs..

I have been truly inspired by many creative bloggers and their amazing blogs and photos!
