im dainty but beautiful
for some reason..this shot of the crocus that were growing in my yard last week, is one of my personal favs, something about it is so promising that this year we might just have a good spring
i shot this macro laying on ground (again) using a nikon diopter lens attached to a canon 75-300mm lens
