    Taken for no other reason than I love the light

    I got into photogrphy so so long ago, because I was fascinated , captivated even, by light.
    I still am, and I still take lots and lots of images just because it's the light that makes me click the shutter.

    I have lots of these images, and they have no other merit than the joy they give me.

    The crocus pot that I planted last autumn has produced a fine display and in the sun today......a few shots got added to my collection. Arguably of no other merit than ..... the light

    And that, unless you're trying to make a living from photography, should be the first and only criterion that you apply.

    The fact that these also give me great joy is an added bonus.

    I take a lot of pictures like that for the same reasons, but I don't share them as often.
    Nice job, and, thanks for sharing them.

    Maybe I should share some of mine. I like taking pictures of my flowers but not incline to share them because I think they will be boring. Your shot here and your reason for sharing is an inspiration. Thank you. I like your attitude.

    they bring you joy and others, such as myself get to share in it. It doesn't get any better.

    Shooting images that bring you joy is just fine... If they also bring some happiness to others that is a bonus but, not required for the photo to be good...
