Here I am again, trying to be creative. I got on my knees and collected all fallen seeds [2–3 mm in diameter] or fruit from the Areca Palm [Chrysalidocarpus lutescens], a house plant we have in our house. The sunlight was shining beautifully on the seeds I collected and put back into the pot. And yes, I forgot to mention that I am dreaming of spring. However, the moment was right, the timing was right—snap, snap, and snap—and here is my second texture photo on this blog. Should you be interested in seeing my first, here it is.
I actually gave a digital print to my blogger friend Will Taft from Healthy Living For People and Planet Earth. It was nice of him to ask for a copy so he could frame it and hang it on his wall. Even if it didn't make his wall, I am very pleased that someone was actually interested in my photo.
As you can see in the title, I invented my own acronym, 3S [Spring, Sunlight, Seeds], and I am tempted to submit it to the All Acronyms web site I ran into by accident; they probably would laugh at me, as I am laughing at myself right now, but you never know. I hope you enjoyed my short and sweet post this week. My son Matthew got his first fever a few days ago, so three of us are slowly recovering—recovering faster than I thought. My little trooper is giving out smiles again, soon with more teeth.

Enjoy the days.
I finally have a frame for your photo, Anna. Just need to put it in and hang it up. Thanks again!
What a great photo. Another fine example of your sharp eye and photographic skill. It would look great on any body's wall.
Get well soon.
Happy trails.
I'm looking forward to spring, too, having been captive in the house for way too many days this winter.
Yes, Matthew will have more teeth! Isn't it a joy to watch them develop and grow! (the boy, not the teeth, lol...)
You are very creative, Anna, and your photo is beautifully lit. Those berries are small, indeed! At 2-3 mm, I don't know how you even picked them up!
Saludos.

I like very much this kind of picture.
I have another blog where I try this...
Glad you all are feeling better - flus are no fun - especially for the little ones.
Take care and have a good weekend!

I was wondering how this composition will look at a -1.0EV. The shadows would have become darker for sure enhancing the focus on those yellow fruits.
Will you said: 'I finally have a frame for your photo, Anna. Just need to put it in and hang it up.' - thanks, no need to rush you, just wanted to mention you, I was very surprised that someone actually wanted my photo :).
Thanks again Will, appreciated.
Anna :)
Yes that captivity is not good for both us Lynda, especially when we love to be outside and enjoy the beautiful nature.
Lynda you said: 'Yes, Matthew will have more teeth! Isn't it a joy to watch them develop and grow! (the boy, not the teeth, lol...)' - yes the boy of course, lol, you are funny.
You said: 'At 2-3 mm, I don't know how you even picked them up!' - scooping technique, lol, yes at times one by one. I have to tell you I have the biggest patience for small things lol.
Thanks Lynda again, Anna :)
You take care of yourself too. Wish you all the best.
Anna :)
You said: 'flus are no fun - especially for the little ones.' - you are right, and especially for first time parents, becasue we are trying to do everything right, not trying to miss anything, scared a bit, and on and on.
Thanks Kathy again, we are all well now.
PS Everytime Matthew goes through some trauma in his life, lol, like being sick or needles, he changes. He doubled his food intake [solids] soon as he got well...seems like a pattern, it happens every time.
Anna :)
Pozdrawiam
Take Care,
Peter
Liked the pic :)
I am sorry that I didn’t know that you all were sick. I do hope that you and your family are now feeling fine. I too have caught a cold and I am still recovering from it. I simply cannot get rid of it completely.
You again found the time to give your comment to every of my posts that you had missed. Thank you very much for that. By the way, I am taking this opportunity to answer you question about the birds that you saw in one of my posts. It is about European Magpies, very common birds in this area. They are recognizable by their long tail and black and white plumage and also by their chattering call.
Hope you are better too, and if not that old chicken soup can give you a bit of relief.

Thanks for letting me know. Anna :)
