Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
In Spring, my fancy lightly turns to thoughts of flowers. This seems the perfect time to check out the Flickr group Flowers of Second Life, with nearly 800 members. I was immediately struck by Wurfi’s picture of Scotch broom at Bella’s Lullaby, mostly because I wondered why someone posted a real-life photo in the group, but then I saw the title and recognized the sim, a favorite for photographers. He kindly provided a teleport link so you can check it out and verify that this is, indeed, Second Life. [To teleport, click here]

Fearne Moffett’s picture from Pemberley highlights some beautiful Queen Anne’s Lace or wild carrot. It’s such a beautiful, delicate flower and it shows up like little bursts of light in the shadowy darkness of the woods. It’s really quite a lovely picture. She also provided a teleport.

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses row on row…” Prins Evergarden posted Remembrance on November 11th, Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I in 1918, a war that more than decimated the population in many countries, killing altogether around 17 million people. The poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae forever tied poppies to remembering the fallen. [To teleport, click here]
Daffodils are the hardy harbingers of Spring and the warmer weather to come. This vibrant cluster was shot by RigTorok McGregor who has several lovely pictures of flowers. I decided on the daffodils simply because they are the Springiest of Spring flowers. He also provided a SLurl [To teleport, click here]
Paul’s Spring Dance makes me smile. It is just so bright and lively. The sunlight shines through the leaves and brush making the drops of morning dew on the branches sparkle. The red and white daisies intermingle like couples on a dance floor. It’s going to be a lovely day. [To teleport, click here.]
Flowers of Second Life is my favorite kind of Flickr group.It has a specific, easily understood focus - flowers. It has rules and everyone follows them which means the moderators work hard to keep the group to its rules - flowers must be the focus and a SLurl must be included as well as a few other sensible rules. You should check it out and definitely submit your flower pictures.
