Description
You could be forgiven for thinking that this is an expensive bouquet of flowers, just delivered by the local florist, but these beauties didn't cost anything. One of my daughters, who was just seven at the time, came to me with these one May morning. I couldn't believe the selection of lovely wild flowers, the beautiful mix of colours and the wonderful arrangement. It was all so natural and all picked from our garden and a little bit of wooded land between the end of our small road and the local hospital. I took a couple of photographs against a light and a dark background. This was my favourite. I only wish I had had a better camera, but I have managed to create a nice image from it. I have finished it off by adding an oil painting effect and a canvas texture, which are more noticeable on the largest sizes. This is a priceless memory for me and a reminder of the incredible beauty that can be found for free if we just open our eyes and let nature take it's course.
