~Fireworks and Sparklers~

Fireworks Explode...
That is what it looks like to me.

This is a Dandelion seed pod after the overnight rain.
 It's a bit wet so I need to dry it with my blow dryer.
HA!~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the seed pod dried later that day.
Below is what I was able to capture.

Sparklers on the 4th of July.

With wheat-like bases stuck in a green styrofoam ball.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you lord for your simple gifts that brighten our world.
As much as I enjoy seeing all of this hidden beauty He created;
Nothing can compare to the beauty that awaits for those that
believe in and trust him.
I am ready to see Him and it cant come soon enough.
I hope you are ready!
He will come in an hour you think not.

God bless and keep you all safe!

Looks like spring has sprung on your side of town! Love your "wet" dandelion and then dry! Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss' Birthday - We'll be celebrating all day at school with a special emphasis on the LORAX!
Your yard is the Land of the LORAX with lots of TRUFFULA TREES!
Have a wonderful LORAX Day Tammy :-}}

Your vision is AMAZING!! I can see the sparklers and the fireworks, but not if you hadn't told me...your macros of this are wonderful, I can't wait to see what you find this spring!

Glenda said...

AMAZING!! I agree with you: we can't even imagine what beauty He is preparing for us to enjoy! Earthly beauty won't compare!

Hi, I was on Ginny's blog and saw your icon picture that intrigued me so I came to look closer. Stunning capture. The wet stick photo reminded me of butterscoth syrup in the center. After looking I did see the fireworks, but what amazed me was how those seed pods look when wet and then normally when dry. I may travel around your blog to see more of your photography. I am captivated! Blessings.

I will never be able to look at them the same; in the back of my mind I will remember what you called them:)

Oh, Tammy~ these are amazing! I will never look at a dandelion again without thinking of these wonderful close-ups and how often we take for granted the beauty in everything God makes!
And yes, I believe He is coming soon... all you have to do is look around...

I just love your imagination! I always loved to find these when I was a little girl. They're so soft, delicate and pretty.
Your words always touch my heart. I'm so glad to have found you and your blog. :)

i don't think dandelions should be considered a weed when they are just as beautiful as flowers :)

Hi Tammy, arrived back home safely tonight. Thanks for all your well wishes AND the wonderful herbs and unexpected book which were awaiting me on my return! We are looking forward to using the spices. The book will be a lovely remembrance of your talents too.

You will be on thoughts and prayers in the next few weeks as you recover from surgery.

I love the way you have captured this. I had thought the rain may have ruined it but no, it dries and opens wonderfully. You second photo is amazing.
