“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
~ William Shakespeare, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream“
“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”
― Iris Murdoch
“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair…”
― Susan Polis Schutz
“In joy or sadness flowers are our constant friends.”
― Kakuzō Okakura, The Book Of Tea
“I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay “Afternoon on a Hill”
Awesome macros. 😉

Thank you!!
Beautiful!
I hope you make it out to Chicago this summer. I’d love to go to the Botanic Gardens with you. You will love it.

Flowers, my favorite. I love the textures. I so need to get better at photoshop! I love how a single image can look so different just by adding texture. Beautiful!
I know! It’s surprisingly easy too. Kim Klassen has a video tutorial on her site. I can email you some textures to try if you like.
