So 35 giant steps toward the parking lot. Six steps to the left. Turn 90 degrees and 6 more steps. It placed me in front of this beautiful blooming bush. Yay!
I took several photos with Lensbaby. Probably this will be ripped to shreds because the focus is not on the OBVIOUS, which is the bee. However, I wanted to focus on the little dudes reaching out from the flower, which is what I did. Me, I love this image - it represents how I feel at the moment - emerging from the fog and blur which was brought into my life through grief.
Post Challenge - I am so honored to have received the PH red. I created this image five days after my beloved Cosima died and five days before my darling Phoenix left me as well.
Posthumous - Don - your words are more fitting than you could have known - thank you.

oh .. i hadnt read all your comment when i wrote mine ..
i didnt know about phoenix going too .. its 2am so i'm not able to express how sad i feel for you .. just know that you're in my thoughts . :)
This is a staggering work of hearbreaking genius. It is a perverse piece of weirdness masquerading as a DPC photo. If my parents gave me this speech when I was a boy, I would have run away from home. Posthumous Red Ribbon for you.
Pretty colors, and like the shallow DOF. I wonder how this image would be with the focus on the bee instead of the stamen? Either way you did a good job.
