Moonflowers-RedGage

Enchanting | RedGage

This is a moonflower that I grew this year. I was excited about it because (like year-except I forgot) I was afraid they were not going to bloom.  But they wait for September for me anyway.  A moonflower is a very unique beautiful flower that not only smells enchanting, but is magical to see.  It only blooms one time, one night and than its life is over.  So for a short few hours, the world is blessed with their existence and there beauty until sunrise.

The Night has Ended

This photo is a moonflower at the end of its life cycle. The closer they get to dying, the more their scent goes away.

Ladybug on Plant

During my visit to the Georgia Botanical Gardens last weekend, I took a ton of pictures. This little ladybug decided she wanted to have her picture taken and I took several different angles. http://amplify.com/u/a1dku6

Walk Through the Botanical Gardens

Beauty of the Garden

Follow me and let's take a walk through the Botanical Gardens. Along the way stop for a few moments and take in the warm fuzzy feelings that the beauty of the garden can give to you. Recently, as most of you already know I have set my goals and focus on becoming a more serious photographer. I believe that each artist has a certain focus and places a lot of attention into that focus. Photography has reached the top of my own personal goal list, I know what I want to focus on and I know what I want to accomplish. But as with every goal, we must learn to take those baby steps and try not to run before we can walk. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Purple Flower Photography

What does the color Purple represent?

Purple has always been one of my favorite colors. Purple represents so many spiritual things and is considered to be the color of the Goddess. It is also the color that represents our crown chakra and it is the Reiki Master Symbol color. Purple is a mixture of red and blue. With red being the warmest color and blue being the coolest color it is believed to be the union of body and soul creating a balance between our physical and our spiritual energies. With Red being a color of focus, dynamic and active energy and blue being the color of calming and cooling energy, it is associated with imagination, inspiration and spirituality. Purple and violet represent the imagination and dreams, while spiritually calming the emotions. These colors enhance psychic ability and spiritual enlightenment, and because of the red being one of the colors in the mixture for purple, it helps keep us grounded.

Celtic Tree Calendar

Celtic Tree Moon Calendar

n Celtic lore, trees were not merely sacred static objects, but warehouses of memories-repositories of knowledge. Trees were here to maintain earthly wisdom with their longevity. As with our legends that speak of each us being born with a certain Animal Medicine Animal Spirit Totems it is also said that our birthdays are represented by a certain Tree Medicine this is referred to as a Tree Moon. The Celtic Tree Calendar is a calendar with thirteen lunar divisions. If most people used a fixed date for each month instead of following the waxing and waning lunar cycle, that would make the calendar fall out of sync with the Gregorian year because some calendar years have 12 full moons and others have 13.

Purity of White

The Color White

ust for fun, you should do a Google Search to see if Black and White is considered colors. A lot of folks say they are not, and a lot of folks say they are. They say black is the positive of all colors and white is the absence of all color. Black is the absence of light, color does not exist without light, white is a balance of color in light. So basically they are shades or tones. A bit confusing I know, but to me personally, I consider them colors. But really this page is not about that, I wanted to write about the purity of white. White has never been a color I have been drawn too. Before doing my photography, when I looked at white flowers all I could see was the dingy brown color they turn. Since I am somewhat tom-boyish for me to wear white clothes is a nightmare. That was proven again over the weekend in North Carolina; I had a hair brain idea to wear white shorts which did not remain white for very long while doing some photography at the botanical gardens.
