Behind

VJphotographybehind, lens-artists, photos24 Comments

I do, sometimes, think of what is behind a photo I’m about to take. Like these wildflowers, blowing in the breeze, the blue of the river adding to the scene. Or the mystery object beyond the grasses.

Flowers for Mom. The blurred backdrop lending context.

Thank you for explaining your thinking behind the background for each image. I’d never really thought about it until recently.

I particularly love the wildflowers blowing in the breeze. I see the mystery object as a heart. Flowers for your mom is poignant. They’re all beautiful. 🙂

Dear Child
