April Chicks Shot

There has never been, nor will there ever be, a life free from problems. It is not the presence of problems but how we tackle them that determines the quality of our lives.

Magnolia's make photography easy. This shot was taken at the Filberg Lodge in Comox around 10:30am on a sunshiney day. I was working to capture a story for another classmate-about the beautiful and tragic cycle of life and death. Here, this glorious magnolia flower has just reached her peak and is showing the first signs of decline-tiny brown marks and soft petals. In the forground is a tiny bud who is just beginning his journey and so the cycle continues. Thank you to Sandy for sharing her inspiration. I like how the backlight gives this flower a heavenly glow.

Happy Spring:)
