Gerbera Daisies seem to always smile! They are the world's 5th most popular flower, so I guess I am not alone loving their cheerful faces.
Still counting down the days when I can go outside. I want to try macro in the sunlight to also get a background of colourful bokeh.
I have a favourite macro photographer that really inspires me, Alex Greenshpun. She is responsible for Canon making more money off of me!
I know she has the same camera body and lens that I do. Here folks is the proof of the saying "it is not about the gear" because I can only dream to create as much magic one day.

Now I also have to blame Kim Klassen and my fellow Be Still 52 participants for our chat on "gathering" backgrounds and props for our creations.

Clearly fresh cut flowers are quickly becoming a grocery shop staple in my household!
If you're Canadian you probably know Target is leaving Canada. So sad, because it was a great place for photography items. I took advantage advantage of the closing sales and picked up some items at discounted prices - how about $1 for this metal bucket, some string and cheese cloth, a few place mats and new coffee cups all at a steal.
Flowers always make people better...
They are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

The second is my favorite . . . with all the water drops. Beautiful.
Wow, amazing pictures!

Happy Valentine's Day!

my connection wouldn't load several of these shots, but what i saw were beautiful! love the gerberas. :)
Yep, I'm a big fan of gerberas! Very nice photos!
My favourite image is the one of the cheesecloth and no gerberas! Second fav is the second image of the blossoms, with the water droplets!
I have been getting basics at Target, now that everything is on sale - PB, socks, underwear, toothpaste...
And since I can't afford fresh flowers, I am making do with what I have, or can pull up along the fences - the cats help me make them imperfect by chewing on the dried leaves!
