icelandic poppy bud, Canon Digital Rebel
I was just reminded that this is the first day of spring! I’ve been amazed watching these guys open.
“And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to blossom.”
– Anais Nin

These are without a doubt, the most stunning photographs you’ve ever taken.
I feel a bit like I’m splitting open lately, painful and scary and wondrous and awful and awe-full.
These pictures are like anti-depressants in the form of pixels.
The world is a better place with your vision.
Ooooo I just love these!!
Wow! Beautiful.
These pictures…well…I always love your pictures, but these ones, gosh, I’m speechless. All I can say is THANK YOU.

Hi!
I love the Anais Nin quote! I actually just did a post with it a few days back!!! 😀
Simply wonderous.
Thank you, thank you for sharing.
Breathtaking! They look like paintings…just beautiful.
Quick question: What kind of lens are you using to accomplish that? Does it have a MACRO on it?
I have a Canon Digital Rebel too and am looking for a good lens…mine is the just 28-80 and it really won’t do much exciting. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s first thing in the morning here and what a great way to start the day – gorgeous pics and encouraging words.
I am loving the quotes and the photos Andrea. I especially love the fact that I have been thinking about them when I’m not in front of my computer…like in the car this morning on a grey Michigan morning. Even if I don’t have much color outside, this is color for my head 🙂
Perfect!
thank you for sharing your amazement…and pairing it with one of my favorite quotes.
beautiful photos!! i too have a canon rebel xt – what kind of lens did you use?
beautiful photos!! i too have a canon rebel xt – what kind of lens did you use?
just gorgeous.
Lovely, you are a painter with the camera!
Andrea…As always, your photos are the equivalent of creme brulee~ delicious! I see a few others have asked you the same, but I would also love to know what kind of lens you use. I absolutely love the filtery-glow of these photos. I hope you are happy and healthy!
Absolutely gorgeous, Andrea.
Wow! I have been thinking about the idea of taking risks lately. This quote really resonates with me!
This post is so dreamy I closed my eyes to savor it. BeautyFull!
beautiful andrea. and i so had to smile, as just the other day, working on more of the “quote” project…
and this was one of them in my hands, on my mind, in my heart. that i had to write it down on paper, just to brand it into my mind again.
and then the joy of rediscovering the words here again.
yes, definitely words to be written on our hearts.
and then your beautiful poppies… your photography. you captured this with such delicacy, honesty, sensitivity…
beautifully.
oxo,
angela
absolutely wonderful images.
Your photos get better and better. These are just lovely. Just as the weather becomes lovely for you it has turned chilly overnight and winter comes to the Great Southland.
Keep taking beautiful photos.
Mia
Beautiful, I hope it’s a good one.
Aren’t poppies just so magical??
beautiful!
that is my most favorite quote ever. i always thing back to it when i’m stuck and unhappy with a part of my life, and i am reminded that its more painful to be in that particular situation than it would be to make that big giant leap to change. and you know what? i’ve never been disappointed with any of the leaps i’ve taken!!!
thank you for sharing!!!!!
I am so in love with that top photo! 🙂
