Pink and White

Apologies for my lack of posts lately - my computer was down for a while, and I didn't have access to my pictures! Rest assured, I will be posting quite a bit more often now that I have it back. :)

Have you ever noticed how perfectly beautiful pink is against blue?

Or red against blue, for that matter?

And there's something about this soft cream against the dark green that is perfectly exquisite:

Can't forget black and white - so raw yet delicate:

What's your favorite color combination?

Of Shadowy Things

Raquel and Lucia are hosting a photography contest (which ends tomorrow!) on shadows and silhouettes. I thought this sounded like a pretty creative idea, so I looked through my archives until I finally found two photos I liked. I had to go pretty far back, too: this first one is from 2010, and the second one is from 2007.

Contemplating the world... or perhaps what shell to pick up next.

New Growth

So, I found this blog recently called "Me. That's all I have to be." And Megan, the author, is doing a really neat photo meme called "Macro Life." Each week, you post a macro picture of something small that is of great importance to you. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to link up.

New Growth. 

Spring comes slowly to my part of the country, unfortunately, but seeing the first buds and green leaves is always so precious. I love every season, but there's just something about Spring that makes me glad to be alive. And I can't wait to see more growth and green and flourishing things!
