Christmas Lights

I think this will be my celebration of christmas and my wish to all here at redbubble…... that even in the simplest ways and most humble places you will find incredible beauty to light and bless your days…...

BEST VIEWED LARGER!!

I discovered this little piece of beauty in a rather bedraggled old dandelion on a wet spring morning…..

    wow – those crystals are beutiful – well spotted and very well taken!

  • Wendy Slee replied

    Funny thing was, as I walked past these dandelions, I kept thinking of those I have seen on redbubble, photographed so beautifully, and all I thought was, “gee, these ones are so dull and drab because they are wet from the rain”. then something prompted me to stop and I actually lay down on my belly in the wet grass and got up close and personal and voila!!! Discovered there was more to these humble dandelions than meets the eye!
