Flowers of 2016 Part 1

There is a certain detail in all flowers that makes them irresistible to photograph. The soft velvety petals, the color that you can't name. No matter what it is, I will always find serenity in photographing them.


 A violet foxglove, the day we got it from the store, I loved the plant and the was the macro setting on my camera brought out the color and detail.



Baby maple tree helicopters. The fence in the background was perfect for the kind of photo I wanted.



An aspen tree with an interesting hue.


Not all colors were seeable through the camera but the ones that mattered were.



Our peach tree blossoms, the pink and brown make for some beautiful contrast.


The house in the background adding a sense of balance. Of course balance is over rated so I tilted the camera.


After looking at the tree for so long I found that no two blossoms were the same, but no one blossom was entirely different.


Angles really help in getting a unique perspective.



Literally bent over backwards to get this shot.


This one looks photo-shopped. I promise it's just the light.

Unique focus.




Playing with my ISO.





 Ahhh, pink roses, how I love thee...

I can't begin to express my love for the detail.

So many flowers, so little space left on my camera...


So I have run out of space on my post. There will be a part 2 for the rest of the pictures I want to share.
Thanks!!!
