Clouding Over
Popularly known by its latin name, this white echinacea has an expression that visually represents today's weather: cloudy, dreary and a bit disappointing.
From the Bottom Up
Sometimes things look surprisingly nice from angles that you'd least expect. I think these yellow coneflowers are just as beautiful from beneath as from above.
Please the Bees
Here's a close look at some bees busy on some pink flowers. Or perhaps it's the same bee who's extra busy on a number of flowers. Assuming the flower is as tasty to the bee as the sumptuous pink colour looks, it's no wonder the bees were crawling all over with delight.
Past Due Date
Even when past prime, things can still have beauty all in their own. This was taken in natural light against some whiteboard. The original was a blue vase and orangey-red flower. I referred to a colour wheel and switched it up a bit to the complimentary colours of yellow and purple.
Minty Fresh
I see stylized photos of flowers in stores and I think they're pretty cool. So why not take some real photos of my own and play around with them in photoshop to give a fabricated feel. An Andy Warhol-esque picture is in my future. Topic: Gerberas, of course!
Blooming Watercolour
My best rendition of a watercolour painting. Without the use of paint. A breeze when taking the photo was all that was needed!
Grandi-rose
A sample of some of the most beautiful roses in a natural setting that you'll ever see. Courtesy of the Stanley Park Rose Garden and a summer day. These are a Grandiflora variety of rose - tall growing and sturdy. Grand indeed!
Supertunia
Super trailing petunias, or Supertunias, are a fountain of colour throughout the summer. Here's a bright eyeful of a pink version. For you non-green thumbs out there these are low maintenance and easy to grow.
Lavender Honey
The lavender smells so good this time of year even the bees can't stay away from it. I wonder where I can find some lavender honey...
Gazania Droplets
Gazania flowers open and close with the daylight and are a drought-resistant flower. After a light morning sprinkle and before the heat of the day evaporated them, water droplets settled on Gazania petals in the back garden.
