Wisp

You all know how much I love flowers…whether blooming ones, blossoms that are full and colorful, blossoms at the end of their season, buds, and even a floral wisp. I liked the delicate look of the flower below, and the wisp-like look that it evoked within me. I visited dictionary.com in order to make sure I was using the word wisp correctly with the photograph below.

According to dictionary.com one of the definitions of the word wisp is: any thin tuft, lock, mass, etc.: wisps of hair. So, yes, I was using the word correctly.

I then decided to do a search on the word wisp to see what I came up with. Here are five sources out of 3,830,000 results that showed up.
