Day 265

Simplicity, originally uploaded by Shutterbug Cel.

I will grow out of this nature/Spring/flower phase soon. Or maybe then again I won't. Definitely the most relaxing and rewarding subject for me to shoot. This is a branch off the shrub in my front yard that is starting to bloom. I wanted to get a shot before it the flowers disappeared in the wind today so I clipped it and took it inside.

Oh and officially 100 days left of my Project365!

You can visit my Flickr site for the setup on this shot. A first for me in actually documenting how I do something.

The other day this rubber ball suddenly showed up in our yard. Could have been a wind storm that brought it in or a neighbor kid accidentally tossed it over. I purposely used it as a backdrop for my macro shooting today.

As a side note I was planning on shooting some flowers for today's photo and asked my husband to pick them up at the store for me. He forgot....
