Budding Anticipation
Brilliant Sunshine and the Joy of a Simple Surprise
- the potential of color and light
What a pleasant surprise I had this morning!
The geranium I have been nursing along at my desk has sprouted several flower stems and in the brilliant winter morning sunshine the plant was showing me these tiny pink flower buds.
Oh, yes, this may not be an earthshaking event, but simple joys are sometimes the ones that carry you through the day.

Midwinter drama! Highlighted with the black background -- wowza. Got glitter? :) ps love the tight focus on the front and center specimen fab detail. pps was it shot against velvet backdrop or did you photoshopicize it? #justcurious
Thanks! This image just made me feel good!
I draped my black fleecy jacket (see yesterday's pic) over a drawing board and set it at an angle that didn't block the sun.
My Photoshop process included cropping, and a minor color adjustment on the greens, and a touch of sharpening.
Blogger pulled its jpg rendering problem again, so this is the png-8 version. I didn't even bother to keep the jpg posted. I need to do some more testing on this.
You don't have a white haired kitty in the house -- otherwise that jacket would not do so nicely as a plush black backdrop. Just sayin'. Odd about the jpg thing. Hope you get it figured out.
So happy you put up a photo of the bloom! Sequential shots are so fun. For those of us who wait with bated breath for flowers in mid-winter. :) YAY
