one split second
by Elouise
One split second frozen in time captures my eyes.

This is a shout-out of gratitude to my dear husband who captures so many stunning photos. No matter where we are. No matter how much time it takes. No hurry. No worry. I sit in the shade, relaxing, or walk around and then come back, knowing his attention to detail will be rewarded.
Not every photo is picture perfect. But then there are the others, waiting to be discovered. This is one of the standouts.
D took this last week on our visit to Longwood Gardens. For me, the payoff comes in photos like this. They evoke wonder, and invite me to ponder life from a different angle.
They also remind me of our many trips together through life. Memories captured and resurrected each time I return for a look-see. Or post them right here for you.

Phenomenal! Not just the beauty of the pale pink, but look at that combination of bright lime green and maroon of the leaf. And all set against the inky water. Wonderful – thank you for sharing it!

You’re welcome, Meg! I agree with you. The colors are at least as astonishing as the lily itself! And they didn’t even have to stand in front of a mirror and get it all just right. The inky water is caused by black plastic lining that functions to help keep things clean and healthy. Also photogenic! 🙂

Oh yes!!! I keep thinking it’s like a tapestry–and I can just reach out and feel the texture and the ripples. I love your idea of painting it–especially in water-color style! 🙂
