It looks like Spring has almost sprung ... my crocus in the front yard are just starting to bloom. Yesterday I had a lovely little spot with 3 or 4 blossoms ... that is until a 3 year old with red hair and pretty purple princess dress opened the front door while I was on the phone and went out and picked them ... all of them. :( What can I say? She loves flowers and she was sooooooo proud of herself for picking them. So to make lemonade of lemons I decided I would photograph the biggest bloom just for fun! Even though the color images are really pretty with the white and purple I felt like these were even more cool in a dark, moody black and white. Maybe it was reflective of my mood from the yucky rainy weather yesterday ....
