The Queen Anne's Lace was exceptional this year, and even now, dried, in seedheads, the plant is a delight.
This is another of my captured on the fly with fingers crossed, shooting into the sun, photos!
I love it.
I am guessing that maybe this is becoming my signature style; break the rules, shoot with abandon, hold your breath and hope one turns out!
I should have waited to share this with some of the other shots of the evening, but I think it deserves a post of it's own.......click gently, it should enlarge. ;-)

I do too--they are always so pretty right when they are dry, before the rain hits.

Just lost the reply Linda!
Pffft!
I was thinking the same with this shot--has a lot of possibilities; when I get time I will have to tinker with it! ;)

These are one of my favorite flowers. They are beautiful in bloom, and beautiful as they go to seed. Win, win. :) Lovely pic, my dear! xox!
Hey Pam,
Did you ever cut them and put food coloring in the water, watching them change color as the water was absorbed? I remember that as a kid--we'd have a couple different jars with the colored water.
Way fun!
XXOO~~♥

I've not had much luck shooting into the sun ~ I've tried a few times, but wasn't happy with the results. You have the "touch", Anne. Great shot!
I love QA Lace - the empty lot across from us was filled with it and I was enjoying the beauty until they came along and mowed it all down. ):
Have a beautiful day!
♥ audrey
Don't worry Audrey---mowing it will make it come backwith a vengence next year! LOL!!! Apropo justice for cutting it!
I wish I could describe how I do the shots.....let me think about it and then if I can figure it out in words, will e-mail.
XXOO~~♥
Anne....who was just at YOUR blog!

We're finally getting some rain, all fringgin' day, but I'm not complainin' Can't see our beautiful Franklin Mountains from my front yard since they're all covered in lovely, soft, gray clouds...plus, the temps are down!!

An aptly named plant indeed!! ;-D
A perfect salute to summers end on the equinox too!!
That is why you are the queen...perfect timing!!
Hope your body cooperates, your beauty increases, and your talent abounds. Love and hugs dear one.
Well Marie,
If it doesn't start cooperating, I'm going to just beat it into submission! LOL!!!
At least I can walk somewhat normal now~~hahaha!
And yes, Anne is saying Ta-Ta to Summer.
I hope it listens.
XXOO~~♥
Anne
Hi Anne, how good you are getting out to your yard again, and taking such a good photo, in to the sun. Well done.
Hey Terra,
And I did it without hurting myself! LOL!!
I am being very careful where I step now.....which makes getting the photos a little more difficult, but worth it. Have a good one!
XXOO~~♥
Anne
I adore Queen Anne's Lace. I love the early green pods that hold the promise of white lace, and I love the end of the season pods after they've put on their summer show.
This is another beauty Anne! Or should I say Queen Anne?
And yes, those acorn earrings! I thought you'd like them ;)
~♥Lolo♥~
Hey Lolo,
My poor dad was so allergic to it, but still would let me bring in bunches!
It is amazing how quickly it all bloomed out, then dried and now, brown and fragile.
I'll have to grab a few more frames before it is all gone....
XXOO~~♥
Anne
You know that you have my permission to break all the rules...this is simply beautiful and the light will soon be gone when the cold days of winter return. The B52's did not disappoint me lady...what a hoot...I am hoarse today from cheering. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
Hey fellow rule-breaker!
Glad you had fun with the B-52s!!! I always got the biggest kick out of Fred Schneider, and the girls hair/wigs and clothes!
Rock on!!!
XXOO~~♥
Anne
Your highness! I can't keep up with you!!! What a beautiful silhouette!
Your Cesness!!!
I can't keep up with you either, oh Mental Ninja!
I think I would like to actually print and frame this photo....or maybe out it on a bag or t-shirt.... ;)
TSUP!!♥
Anne
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS photo!!!! Wow!
And hey, I'm all about breaking the rules right now. :) hee hee
I vote for breaking as many as you can.....LOL!!!
