Shot in the parking lot at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve

Interesting to be so soft and so sharp simultaneously--kind of like ME, I'm told.
---
My day starts at 7am today, so have to rush. Will try to catch up this evening. FLOTUS (FirstLady of the U.S.) will be in Philadelphia today. I will have to practice keeping my face expressionless.

Who would have thought when they picked up that first camera, that it would lead to discoveries like this. A simple dandelion seedling filled with so much beauty and elegant design. So gorgeous.
On your last five black and whites. Each one is award winning work and a masterpiece. The quality of your work is remarkable, brings out all the character and elements, photojournalism at the highest standards my friend. #10269997
