Author's Description:

You don’t have to be perfect to be pretty.

You don’t have to look very far to find beauty.

Although technically, our neighbor’s backyard looks like it came from a vineyard spa and ours cannot compare.  Gardening is still not part of my domestic resume because of my irreconcilable dislike for working with dirt and expecting/seeing earthworms. Until then I’ll stick to taking photos and appreciating nature.

Addendum: I submitted this for JPG Magazine’s next issue: Zen. Vote for it please?

Photo Notes: Nikon D80. 70mm macro lens (a piece of heaven). Dandelions and a whiff of fresh cut grass on a breezy Saturday afternoon.
