Someday… on a clear, still, moonlit night; / To the beach, is where we’ll go. / With a blanket and hot chocolate already packed; / Walk, hand in hand, on soft, warm sand; / Down to the water’s edge, where we’ll dance awhile; / Oh, to hold you close and whisper in your ear; / Those three words you’ve longed to hear. / Brush aside the hair which hides your face; / See a smile grow and laughter kiss your lips; / Then sit with you ‘til dawn‘s early light; / Your hand in my left, hot chocolate in my right. / Precious moments, dreams and memories; / Someday… with you, I want to share.

I was on my way to work one morning, on the ferry as usual, when all of a sudden a single frangipani blossom landed on the deck beside me. Where it came from I don’t know. / / I wanted to photograph it, but hesitated. First, what would the other passengers think? Second, I’m sure the crew already thinks I’m batty, and they may be right. / / But the real reason I hesitated is that the blossom wasn’t perfect. There it was on the deck, blowing around, hitting a small puddle of water that was sitting there … and all I could think was “shame – it’s not perfect”. Beautiful, but not perfect. And the scent – I wish there was smellography so I could share that too. / / I picked it up, put it down, and it blew away. I felt a loss and picked it up again. I had to shoot. Even if I didn’t show it, because it wasn’t perfect. / / But I’ve thought about it, and I think maybe it is the imperfections that make it beautiful. The same applies to people. We could make an exact duplicate of a perfect frangipani blossom out of some unnatural material. It would last for years, and always look the same. Extract some scent and spray it occasionally, and you’d have the same effect as a real flower right? No. / / The reality, fragility, and imperfections combined with the improbability of it landing on the deck beside me are what made this beautiful. After all, I pass by a frangipani bush every day, covered in gorgeous blossoms. I’ve never spent the time staring at them that I did at this one imperfect blossom. / / Beautiful. / / / © Sara Lamond 2007. All rights reserved. / / / / / / / / / / / /

Here is an old macro of a water drop in a bougainvillea flower. I’ve sat on this one for a while but always kept coming back to it so finally decided to share! I title this image ‘precious’, for the precious resource which I photographed; water.

Macro shot of water droplets attached to tree roots in Shawl Cave at Wombeyan Caves, NSW. / These tree roots emerge from the ceiling in Shawl cave and are so incredibly fine that even the slightest movement can damage them. They are covered in water droplets which cling precariously to the roots and are quite simply one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a cave.

Canon 400D – Canon 100mm- 2.8 – FL 100 Fstop 2.8 Exp 1/20 / Another beautiful rose- I trust you’re not getting sick of my rose images and as you probably already know they are my favourite flower. They give so much for so little. I am uploading them for a calendar for the year after next to (hopefully) sell at the local rose show. / Enjoy / /

There’s something very soothing and calming about these water drop/condensation shots for me. Maybe it’s the perfect symmetry of the drops or the way they look like falling rain that’s frozen in time… either way they just make my stressfulness melt away. Anyway, this is condensation on a water bottle… I shot this using my macro lens and extension tubes as well as my flash. I don’t think I had a background on this one.. just the white screen of my computer. Enjoy!
