Description

I did an experiment a while back using natural backlighting, and I had so much fun I'm still thinking about it! Every once in a while I buy a bunch of cut flowers from my local grocer, bring them home, put them in the living room window, and start snapping away. This time I actually bought the flowers thinking about how they'd look backlit! Here's the result of my latest playtime. That's a teddy bear sunflower, by the way. It's easy to see how they got that nickname. I've had a long week, and am off to bed a little early, so I'll catch you all this weekend! :)
