. . . "can't stop, won't stop moving"
- Shake it Off, Taylor Swift
There was a little mayhem and chaos on my front porch this weekend as I tried to photograph
tulips and poppies. The wind, it just wouldn't stop moving. . .
[KK taped edge]
. . . and the flowers and I couldn't keep up with all the grooving.
(Okay, so I'm really stretching this weeks song)
It probably started out in the thirties early Saturday morning, but because I had a bloom
on the poppy I went to the front porch in search of some light, and all I got was wind.
Now, I'm a pretty patient person, so I stuck it out for a little while, and then since I
just couldn't "shake it" I packed it in and came inside...with the plant.
That's when something magical happened, or at least for me. There were two buds that
were already split open, just enough to see the color and suddenly the pods popped off
and the flowers started to open like I was watching time lapse photography!
Literally, right before my eyes these flowers opened up, and it was magical!
I've never seen a flower open up that fast before, have you?
I would love for you to pop over here, to Focusing on Life, where I'm sharing
some thoughts on our new monthly theme (link won't be live til 3 am PST). And then why not
consider adding photos of the theme to our flickr group. You just may be
featured one Saturday morning on the blog!
Happy Tuesday,
love, Kim

Even if it means stretching the song a little it is moving,moving!
That is so cool to get to see that!
That is so cool!! Glad you were able to see it.
Fantastic pictures. It must have been so amazing to see those buds open.
So great you got to see a flower open. :) The flowers are beautiful. I love being able to see all the detail in close up images, so much I don't notice until I look closer...
How awesome is that?!?! I´´ve never witness that!!!
Poppies are SO gorgeous and I've seen some pretty quick blooms in my garden and I always get excited!
That's amazing to see them open up before your eyes. I love poppies……they look like crepe paper.
I've never seen a flower opening up that fast - lucky you!! I like the first photo, it is mysterious - you could use it as a texture!
Great post to the song!
Interesting; flowers and birds have that movement thing in common. Birds are hard to catch being still too.
The first is so cool and looks like art to me. How fun that you got to experience the time lapse in real life. I've tried to catch that in the moment but have never succeeded.
Gorgeous photo, dear Kim! You have such a gift for capturing the beauty around you :)
Thank you so much for sharing at Roses of Inspiration. Hugs to you!
What a great set of shots. I'm a little jealous of the miracle you observed!
So cool.
Never have seen it happen that way. Lucky you. The flower photo is great, but I teally like the first image. It is spectacular.
So very cool. I have never seen that happen, great photos my friend.
Hugs, Linda

I'm so glad you had that experience, Kim! Magical, indeed, as are your photos!!
I love the poppies! Beautiful flower and I like your post processing!
Enjoyable post. I liked your poppy shot, so delicate, so pretty. How neat you were able to watch them pop open.
Stunning Kim. Adore your banner. Visiting from Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.
That must have been a sight to behold! I've never seen anything like that. Thanks for linking up to Song-ography
Lucky you to have such flowers in Feb, we are just starting to see the first of the daffodils
