Color and beauty - where ever you find it!

I take great pleasure in flower photography - shooting and processing! These are just a few of my recent favorites. Our very mild winter has led to a great variety of early blossoms. This year I can enjoy my garden more than ever because I am not planting and caring for a lot of new plants to replace ones that did not survive the winter. Everything is thriving and I can relax and enjoy!

Very nice! Did you shoot the last 2 against a black background or did the lighting produce that effect?

So lifelike, I can almost smell the fragrance!
Thank you, Brigitte.😊. Most of my flower shots tend to be natural. I love the artistic looks some post but I seldom do them.
