Dawn LeBlanc: Unmasking Beauty through Photography

I'm not really even sure how to describe these images.

A bit speechless - which is very unusual for me :)

My Aunt used to press flowers and make her own stationary.

Every occasion a handmade card would come in the mail, 

the beauty of the most common flowers and foilage was exposed there... 

 forever preserved within.

I cherished them, tucking those bits of paper away...

Thats what these images remind me of.

Photographer Dawn LeBlanc is documenting nature's exquisite radiance for all of us - 

a reminder that we don't always have to create new visual treats,

 we just have to be mindful of the ones we are overlooking.

Leaves I - this was the image that led me to Dawn's work..

and finally.. Red Sunflower, can't you feel it's pride in a job well done?

Stunning. Open-mouthed gaping.. so wonderful.

Tomorrow the extended family arrives for a beach day and overnight visit - 

catch you on the flipside :)

til next time...
