The Beauty of Snow
Winter is fast approaching and so are the snow storms! Not many things are better than taking a walk through the woods after a freshly fallen snow with my camera...
I like to walk softly and listen to the sound of the snow crunching under my boots while looking out for pretty scenes that I think would make a nice photo. I liked the depth of the snow resting on the fine pine needles in the photo above.
"Snow Love" is what we'll call the picture above. There's a heart shaped snow clump resting at the end of the snow covered branch. I couldn't resist taking this photo!
The wonder and beauty in nature never ceases to amaze me! Just look at all of the tiny little flakes that make this stuff up - and think about how much it takes to move it all with the shovel!
Snow, snow, snow... oh I can't wait for the snow :)

The Colours of the Butterfly
Take a stroll through Mother Nature's garden and be inspired by the amazing colours of the iridescent butterfly...
Enjoy the beauty that comes to visit, in all its myriad shapes, colours and patterns.
And although each one dances and sings to its own silent song, just like us, each has its own unique beauty.
Yellows, blues, oranges, browns, black - can you be anything but in awe of Mother Nature?
Oh, the wonder of how these beauties go about their business; how they float so graciously on the air..
And flutter so delicately to decorate the landscape with all their magical colours...Friday, November 5, 2010
Memories of the Sunflowers
When I lived out in the country, I had some wonderful neighbors. One couple in particular grew a garden out in the back lot. All of the tenants were told they could use the land for gardening if they wanted to, but this couple was the only one who farmed out the land with vegetables, herbs and sunflowers.
I saw my neighbors each day while they carried buckets and buckets of water out to the garden and pulled the weeds, even on hottest summer days. They took great care of their plants and the reward was well worth it...
Their sunflowers were outrageous! Each time I passed by the garden, I would stop for a few moments and stare in amazement at the beauty of nature and remenber the good natured friends and neighbours who made this possible.
I can't thank them enough! I still stay in touch with my sunflower-growing neighbors and return to the country for visits with them regularly. Sunflowers will always remind me of my days in the country as well as the seeds for friendships that grow. Thanks for stopping by today! After all, we're all friends and neighbors in blog-land!
Until we meet again,
Michele :)

What's new on Etsy! "Autumn Fire" 8x12 Fine Art Photo Metallic Print by Michele Ford
"In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfies
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
the grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer
Fires in the fall! "
- Robert Louis Stevenson, Autumn Fires

A beautiful day!
I woke up this morning to be pleasantly surprised by the number of visitors to a picture that I've posted for sale at Etsy.com! In less than 22 hours, we've had 100 visitors!
You can purchase this print here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/54956314/red-gerbera-daisy-8x10-fine-art-nature. The watermark does not appear on your purchased print.
I sell only the print; that way you can pick out your own matte and frame. This print looks lovely in your home! It brightens up any room you put it in. It also makes a terrific gift!
All the best for a great day!
Michele
