Forget-Me-Not & Ferns

Photo quote for today: "When your mouth drops open, click the shutter." -Harlod Feinstein


I find the best way to enjoy a Forget-Me-Not is under a macro lens. These flowers are so small it's easy for the passerby to overlook these fragile beauties.

My mouth certainly drops open when YOU click the shutter! I love that quote. I go around with my mouth dropping open all the time, but don't always get the picture :-) Love the first picture with the leaves and the 3 flowers. They look suspended in air...so fragile and beautiful.

How wonderful your quotes are; they give me pause to think and to learn. In my garden, for-get-me-nots, are pretty hard to forget for they are everywhere.

Mary said...

Hope you aren't ill....we miss your beautiful photos.

Lovely shots of the Forget-me-nots - very similar to the ones we have over in England. Have you got a dictionary of photography quotes?? Most interesting and thought provoking!
