This song just popped into my mind when thinking about this image. It is one loved by my parents and I remember them often playing Glen Campbell. I haven't thought about it in so long. Uncomplicated, sweet song.
Bear with me as I explore the Lensbaby Velvet 85 but I think I am going to have some fun.
"'ll give you a daisy a day
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away
They would walk down the street in the evenin'
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam of their eye"

"The greatest treasures are invisible to the eye but found by the heart"
I think the camera sometimes helps us find the invisible and it is always my heart that does the searching with the lens.
It was really only when I Iooked at this image on the big screen that I noticed the gorgeous collection of droplets, cupped like jewels in the leaf of the Wormwood.

"The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall"
Sung beautifully by Eva Cassidy

FFF+ Snap Happy is a group for FFF images that reflect positivity, happiness, joy and beauty only. Lovely Di chose the theme Selfies this week.
Like many, I cannot say that doing selfies brings me any joy, more like horror.
However, I can say that putting on a dress, my vintage velvet jacket and a dash of red lipstick gave me a moment of joy. (and also got someone else in the household excited! - a nice change from the recent uniform of "leisure wear")
The rain was gently falling throughout all my attempts which was also quite lovely.
