I love the sensual curves of the flowers. Petals are delicate, soft, romantic...

This was taken in my neighbour's garden the other day with my 75-300 mm lens and the 12mm and 20 mm macro extension tubes.

#430 on Explore on 13th April, 2008.

I tried every angle, every exposure. . .

It was really hard to capture the orange color from this point of view.

But I am happy that I have made it, or at least so I think.

Two more images in the comments.

WISH YOU ALL A GREAT NEW WEEK

The filtered morning light inside the Lyman Conservatory lends itself to softer colors and more abstract shapes. It feels almost as if the light becomes neither the particles nor waves, we believe it to be, but liquid... :)

Hi Guys,

A variety of Dahlia named "Miss Molly". Dahlias grow well here in the mountains but they are only now getting started and we don't have very many major growers. I do have a few good places to shoot them and will be posting many more soon.

Thank you so much for your visits.
