180/365: "I believe in the photographer's magic — the ability to stir the soul with light and shape and colour....

... To create grand visual moments out of small and simple things, and to infuse big and complicated subjects with unpretentious elegance. She respects classic disciplines, while at the same time insists on being fast, modern and wild." ~ Amyn Nasser (My apologies, the entire quote doesn't fit but it was fitting, so I decided it would be ok to break it.)

This morning I was looking at my little garden and at one point I turned my head towards the sun...and my breath was taken away from me! A lemon tarweed plant was glowing warmly in the sunlight and I just stared in awe. Its flowers were long gone and was now covered with husks full of seeds. Every seed head shimmered as the light hit the tiny, sticky resin balls that covered this plant, and caused it to glow. I spent the next 10 minutes taking pictures, so overjoyed that the day had finally come to give this plant a place in my 365 project! :)
