I loved working with these textures, especially with these images whose subject has a lot of yellow in them. There's a little story behind each one.
For this one, as I was making the lemonade for the pictures I was thinking of a quote about lemons. So I say "When life gives you lemons" my 6 year old daughter finishes the quote for me by saying "you get what you get and you don't get upset". I don't know where she heard it but, when I gave her some lemonade she didn't like it. I don't know why because it was good, and I told her it's the same thing like the lemonade we buy in summer which she loves. I think she was being silly!!
Another story about my daughter for these next images. We went to the playground around noon that day and afterwards I told her that I wanted flowers for the pictures. So, she looks at the weeds in the park and starts picking a couple and tells me 'here are some flowers'. So, I go with it and we pick a whole bunch. When we get home, I set up these shots outside and she helps me arrange them in the vase.
She set the flowers in this one herself:




Love your dandelion shots and how wonderful that you let your daughter take charge. They are beautiful images and remind me of a quote by Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh: "every weed's a flower, once you get to know it."
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the quote, I had never heard of it but it's so true!
DeleteI love Kathleen's quote above about the weed! The dandelion photos are stunning. We make homemade lemonade too! The lemons just stand out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the quote too and I love homemade lemonade, it's so good and refreshing.
DeleteThe dandelion shots are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a great way to engage your child in something you love to do - maybe she'll grow up to be a great photographer too! Beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Well, she has already asked me to buy her a camera. She says she wants to be a photographer, lol. I will one day, so she can take her own pictures.
