Warm Fuzzy [Contest Finalists May 2004]
Uploaded: May 24, 2004 04:00:39
A warm fuzzy for anyone who needs one today:-) f/2.8, 1/4, no flash, ISO 200. I noticed a dandelion that my son left on the computer desk by a nightlight that was starting to fall apart from earlier in the day. Couldn't resist the urge to experiment! No post processing. The light source is the nightlight and the elements in the background are the out of focus seeds.

Thanks so much for your comments and support, K, Janet, Allan, Donna, Mette, and Alisha! I relaly appreciate it! And yes, Janet, I think it is GREAT to have a photographer's eye and appreciate the beauty in so many things, but I am sure that my family disagrees when I make them stop every 20 feet to capture another shot... They could cover twice the ground in half the time if I would put the camera down long enough! LOL! #558104Terry R. Hatfield May 24, 2004
