Oh, the beautiful wind flowers!
Anemones are also called wind flowers – isn’t that pretty? So many flowers have goofy names!
The little Rue Anemones are blooming in the woods near me (I’m just above the 42nd parallel), but my favorite are these Meadow Anemones. They grow on my property up north, a beautiful pure white against their own bright green leaves, blowing about above the poison ivy. With all that poison ivy, I may not ever get a macro shot of these flowers!
I have no idea how to get that poison ivy oil off my hiking boots and away from my camera stuff. Clothes, yeah, I just throw them in the wash. I’d like to know the reason behind poison ivy, I really would!
Here’s the postage stamp to match the cards!
Coneflowers have so much character all on their own! These popular wildflowers bloom in open spaces in the summer sunshine. Their petals can be yellow, green, purple or pink. They just point their faces to the sky and let their petals flow back like a girl with a ponytail.
Does an artistic rendering in a mosaic style work? This image was created using from my original photograph and then turned into a mosaic using Photoshop then Painter and then Photoshop again. It’s a time consuming process, but once you get the hang of creating a mosaic, you can get into a “flow” state and just enjoy it.
This mosaic reminds me of intricate tilework I’ve seen in Spain (Alhambra) and Italy, so I get extra enjoyment from looking at it.
As a card, this would work very well for thank you, thinking of you, happy birthday and many others. Look also for coordinating products.
And let me know what you think!
