“The sun shines,
When I’m with you,
Your smile makes me want to dance.
Tonight, I’ll put on my favorite gown,
Place a diamond comb in my hair,
Dazzle you with my beauty,
And sway in your arms,
Until the morning light appears.”

This photograph is the side of a Daffodil turned upside down. As I was photographing Daffodils from my garden I played with them to find unique angles to shoot. This reminded me of a woman’s ball gown. The first line of the poem is one of the meanings of the Daffodil in The Language of Flowers. The poem, was an inspiration from the Daffodils outside my window dancing in the afternoon sun.
Life is so busy right now. I once again have to apologize for my inactivity in the world of blogging. I cherish all of my followers and I appreciate those who stop by, browse through my blog, like my work, and leave comments. Please forgive me for not always returning that kind gesture. With three children, each in multiple activities, I find myself having a bit too much to juggle and very little time to browse blog posts and admire the work of my virtual friends.
With work I have been busy with product shoots, head shots, first communion portraits, senior portraits and more. I hope to blog about a couple of the unique projects in the near future. I have also been doing some behind the scenes work for future “big” projects with my photography….keep your fingers crossed for me! Hopefully they will come to fruition in the next 12 to 18 months.
Beautiful image and nice to hear you are busy and your work is fruitful, Robyn.
Many thanks, Jane!
All the best with your future endeavours, Robyn!j
Thank you Sue! 🙂
Just lovely 🙂 They really are like ballerina ball gowns! Your words read like a waltz 💕
Sarah, such a lovely compliment. Thank you ever so much!
My pleasure Robyn 🙂
THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS is one of my favorite books, Robyn. And only you could so beautifully capture a lovely gown in the image of a daffodil turned upside now.
Wonderful!
I loved that book too, Marylin! It is certainly a story of hope and love. Thank you for your kind words. Have a wonderful weekend!
Glad you’re busy. It keeps you out of trouble. One of my favorite lines about a flower is from e e cummings: “i thank heaven someone’s crazy enough to give me a daisy” Oh, and I would never have known that the photograph was a flower had you not told me.
I love that line from EE Cummings, Don! And I am glad that the photograph was abstract enough to keep you guessing…until I told you…:-)
Great style!
Beautiful image, mysterious.
