"Crystal Wildflowers" Mankind has always been driven to create, whether in music, art, design, innovation or, or, or.... the list can go on forever. Creativity together with imagination keeps us engaged and wanting more. That said, "more" could be a new location, or from an obscure angle, or creatively looking for something out of the ordinary, like this glass ball. I had fun setting this up this shot and quickly discovered something "new"; the magnification of the sun through a glass ball can start a fire in seconds! Yikes!
Flowers have a specific meanings and are symbolic to their meaning. Cultural influences inspire these meaning and are often gifted because of their meanings. A rose, for example, is a well known as a symbol of love and romance. The Daisy, symbolizes purity, innocence, true love, harmony , hope and new beginnings. The daisy is a perfect gift to those in need of a little sunshine in there day; hence I named this photo, "The Gift". The daisy, just like the person you gift it to, is beautiful, tender, kind and a ray of sunshine in your life.
