oh dreamy....


i have an old polaroid
but
i don't have any film
so instead i just play
until
my photos get that almost
perfect polaroid dreamy look in their eyes
::
oh
summer
i think you just got a little better
if that's even possible

Beth, you make my days so much better. Your photos and your poetry always brighten my life and add cheer if there isn't much. You are such an inspiration and I learn to open my eyes and see so much beauty that I might miss otherwise. Thank you so much.

There's always Camera Bag. Not expensive. Makes easy polaroid-type images.

Beautiful, soft, dreamy photos. Love them. I don't want summer to EVER end...

You don't need a Polaroid. You find your way to that dreaminess all on your own, and I bet it's a lot more fun.

The last one looks like it's very early in the morning, and the dew is still on the ground.
Growing up in the country, you knew that if you went out too early, you'd wind up soaking wet from the knees down...haha!

Very ethereal, Beth. Love them!

TechnoBabe said...

That's a different approach to play with the photos to get them to look like the old Polaroid photos. And by golly, when you are the one doing it, they turn out great.

What is it about Polaroids? They are marvelous, aren't they?

Erin Wallace said...

The stages of your flower are the stages of a lifetime. I love the second where some are drooping and some seem to be raising their arms.

deb said...

which is a good state of mind to be in right before a tense soccer game :)
