04 Jan Sparkle Plenty
Superhero Andrea wrote post yesterday at Shutter Sisters challenging us to capture the weather in our images. I love the idea. Lucky for me, even here in Southern California, we’ve actually had some weather this winter.
This morning I woke to the cloud covered sun lighting up a million water drops that blanketed my backyard. I set my camera down on the patio right against the wet grass and shot photo after photo. The sparkle of magic and impossible hope left me enchanted.
As we being a New Year, it certainly seems like a great way to start. Have you found any magic from behind your lens of late?

Posted at 02:34h, 06 JanuaryI like the feel of the sun on the grass. We have raindrops on the grass all winter, it seems, but only rarely does the sun shine on them. 🙂
