Morning Practice
May 14, 2012 
I thought I was dreaming. I thought - I imagined. I thought - it could never be.
The hundreds and thousands - gathered together..in the morning light. They began with themselves. Feet rooted into the ground beneath. Arms outstretched to the sky above. There was laughter. There was light. There was breath.
I watched as they bowed deeply. I watched as they reached to meet and greet the morning sun. I watched as they twisted and turned themselves upside down. I watched as they moved. Each - to its own individual rhythm and rhyme..and yet all at once and together - at exactly same time.
I thought I was dreaming..but - really - I was awake.
There before me - their day had begun - like every other...before it and all others that were yet to come.
With practice.

Delicious!
great use of focus, colors and background
I like the planes of tones...I like the restricted depth of field....and I like the sparkling intensity of the tiny flowers.
It's like a sliver of a fairyland, Marcie. I want to go there.
Amazing photo Marcie...

So lovely! And how beautiful and lucky they are to live in the moment, never worrying about the past or the future! What a magical photo.
What beautiful bokeh! A reminder to try a low perspective - and see what surprises await!
