I stood hunched over the sink, at the top of a step ladder. Like a witch stirring a cauldron, I swirled the rose petal dappled water around and around. I may have even cackled a couple of times; I can’t help it, that’s just what my laugh sounds like.

It felt like I was casting a spell on the petals, urging them to flow in the most beautiful possible way. After my spatula left the pool it was out of my hands. Water, petals, and light took over. I only had to click the shutter open: one last decision.

More than 150 clicks later, all the elements came together into this perfectly composed piece. Great composition is a hard thing to find in such semi-random motion, but I think it was worth the wait. Hey, magic takes time, and a good witch has to have patience.
