A flower as bright as a smile - Roy and Dolores Kelley Photographs

I enjoy walks through our Kentlands neighborhood in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  With my camera in hand, I seek the colors of the season and the lighting that will provide special moments.

When you need a bit of attitude adjustment, carefully focus your camera on a pretty flower and it is easy to put aside the business problems of the day.

Please share photographs from your favorite places in the comments for this post.

Hi Roy, what a beautiful flower and it does cause one to smile.  Focusing on things of nature can definitely soften our mood and give us focus.

Roy, That's a beautiful bright flower. I'm always taking photos of flowers everywhere I go. I've done that ever since I got my first camera. Today, I still enjoy taking pictures of flowers, and most anything in nature, because they are like gifts from Heaven.
