Room to Grow



And the day came when the risk to remain
tight in a bud became more painful
than the risk it took to blossom.

    Oh,oh, oh!!! These are incredible & I swear I actually said "Oh!!" out loud when the first image appeared on my screen. I can just feel the softness and their rush for the sunlight. Breathtaking, yet once again.

    this is such an amazing quote. of course these photos go so perfectly with it, and as usual the photos are amazing. but the quote has really affected me today. it is very poignant to me right now.

    these shots actually remind me of little baby robins with their mouths open upward waiting for their momma to bring them food. these evoke that same innocence and bravery to enter a new world.

    wonderful post, jaime!

    Jaime, thanks for stopping by my blog. That settles it! ... the next lens I buy will be a macro! (:

    Your images are stunning... and we all know that its the eye of the photographer that's the key to perfect images... however, good glass puts the exclamation point on them. Always love and look forward to yours!!! You are an artist extraordinaire~ Hugs, Vicki
