ANOTHER JOURNEY THROUGH A SERIES OF FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHS

in photography •  6 years ago  (edited)
I hope this Saturday finds everyone healthy and happy. For myself I have been fighting off allergies, due to extra windy weather. Things seem to be settling down, so I am hoping to get outdoors today and do some gardening.

I always struggle to decide which photograph to start with, and from there the flow of photos and words. I usually start by picking out photos I want to use and narrow down to a manageable number. I then may crop a few using a free photo editor called PhotoScape I only crop the photo to center or to get rid of some thing that takes away from the photo. The words just come to me as I start to type.


My first photograph to today is a macro-photo of a Dianthis that we planted last year. Many Dianthis are perennials even with our cold winters. They come in other colors besides this bright pink.

This next one I took when we were visiting Manito gardens a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure of the name.

IMG_2539-b.JPG

Here is a Japanese Maplee that was growing in the Japanese Gardens at Manito Gardens.

This next scenic shot was taken when we went on vacation last week. The field was full of wildflowers. This was on the _Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation_. I was stopping to take photographs when we got a call and had to head straight home. Next trip I will get more scenic photographs.

Here is one of our own patches of Shasta Daisies:

IMG_2914-b.JPG

This next flower is a Calendula, which is related to Marigolds. I usually plant quite a few, but this year I am relying on those that self seeded. I have used them to make salves, but they also add wonderful color to a salad (I usually pull the petals off and sprinkle on top of my salad.

IMG_2904.JPG

I have been trying for a long time to get some Macro-photograph of butterflies, although they never seem to want to "pose" for me. I finally was able to get a few pictures and today want to share one of our prettiest butterflies. This is a Swallowtail, and I believe it is a Two-tailed Swallowtail.

Thank you very much!

The flowers look really beautiful, seeing them fills you with joy and you fall deeply in love. It is very common to take this as a hobbie and capture different photos of flowers and plants, it is like having a valuable collection.

You really know how to get a good image, all with excellent quality and dazzle those colors so saturated. This time you were lucky enough to find a model butterfly for your gallery, I really loved the latter.

You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

Thank you very much

Thank you for your love and support for making us bring this event to reality.

Thank you

nice flowers
@r2cornell

Thank you

yes same same
sir @r2cornell

Without our fully realizing it, flowers would become for us an expression in form of that which is most high, most sacred, and ultimately formless within ourselves. Flowers, more fleeting, more ethereal, and more delicate than the plants out of which they emerged, would become like messengers from another realm, like a bridge between the world of physical forms and the formless.
Just wonderful photo click @r2cornell

Thank you very much.

Wau, beautiful photographs, I congratulate you.
I am a fan of photography, although I am a beginner.
This is one of my photos

Dalia-1.jpg

Thank you and thank you for visiting my blog. I am still learning as well. Your photograph is beautiful.

Wonderful photos of flowers. I also grow different flowers on the plot. I especially like lilies. But with allergy they can not be grown. Lilies have a very strong flavor.

Thank you. Most flowers do not bother me, even with a strong scent. Grass pollen is the hardest on me.

Final one attractive with butterfly. Flower and butterfly giving various color combination. Excellent photography @r2cornell. Just brilliant.

Thank you. The butterfly landed on the perfect colored flower.

So much colorful flower.

Thank you and Have a great day.

Thank you very much.

A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and we are like that too.

Thank you

A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

Thank you very much.

Awesome flower photography sir,you always brings great amount of joy for me.

Thank you
