Beautiful Day

"Shine"

Went back to my pictures from Duke Gardens on Saturday for this one, on this soft, lovely day. You can really feel the seasons changing, running like the raindrops over your skin. The rain is coming down so hard right now that when I stand by the open door I can feel it splashing on me, and it's beautiful, being alive and able to feel everything so intensely.

Had a lot of fun with the soft bluish shadows on the flowers, it's a great contrast for the pale, buttery tones on the petals... I love being able to see all of that, and know that the more I look, the more I learn to really see, the more details and delicate little gradations of color will appear.
