i heart macro {and big wishes}

studio waterstone

I’m joining Lori’s fun “i heart macro” Sunday this week.  I know dandelions have been featured by others already, up close and beautiful in all of their humble beauty. I couldn’t resist this one though, after all, it was a jumbo-sized dandelion!  These are the kind reserved for your great BIG extra-special wishes.   We all have those.  🙂

    Oh my gosh! This is the best photo series ever to highlight those amazingly cute, squishy cheeks. These are photos any professional photographer would wish they could claim they had taken. So special!

    I think my little guy was just wishing he could blow the Dandelion at all! He started to get frustrated that it wouldn’t budge! 🙂

  15. Marsha Neal Studio on June 26, 2011 at 2:04 pm

    I’ve never seen a dandelion that big before. Your close up shot is magnificent! And I can’t believe he held out as long as he did and still had a smile 🙂

    Holy moly! That is a MUTANT dandelion, mutant I say. No wonder you save it for big wishes – it definitely deserves a big powerful wish!

  24. Linda on June 28, 2011 at 1:24 pm

    Hi Cindy!
    That is the biggest “tampopo” I have ever seen! I finally got my DSLR camera (yay!) and I think I will join I Heart Macro (whenever I figure out how to use it :-)) You take wonderful shots by the way.

    The macro shot is wonderful, but I like your little cherub boy. He is darling.
