My wife loves gardening. It is one of her many hobbies. On occasion she will ask me to photograph her flowers.
It's the best of two worlds. Her hobby and mine. Enjoy in download.

Fabulous set. Great way for the two of you to enjoy your hobbies. She has done a great job in her growing some very beautiful flowers and allows you to show your great expertise in keeping her flowers alive. Mahalo for sharing.

Aloha and Mahalo,
It really is fun being able to share things we both enjoy.
How are things in your home state. Are you still under stay at home orders?
Stay safe and healthy.

That little critter jumped on the flower just as I was taking the picture. Right time at the right place. lol
My wife is a Master Gardener. We often go to Seattle's garden show at the convention center. Almost in your backyard. I worked for a television station for years. A lot of camera geeks worked there. It was hard not to pick up photography. I ended up being a film editor. A co-worker was a cinema photographer for Walt Disney. Now that man was a photographer.

I hadn't even noticed your northwest reference when I first commented... that's really interesting. Now you've made me curious which TV station you worked for. :-) I can sure think of worse things to "pick up" from a coworker than becoming a good photographer. What an opportunity! They can give you more exposure but you have to have something in you that resonates... and it's obvious you do and did.
BTW... is that a 'Mt. Fuji' cherry in your photo? I've not grown that but it certainly deserves its popularity. We have an old row of Yoshino cherries along the driveway. I should post a few pictures I took of those earlier this year. The cultivar was 'Daybreak.' Alas... getting to the end of their life cycle and we've lost three so far. I used to work at the Bremerton Furney's Nursery before it closed ... so am kind of a plant nut like your wife. ;-)

I worked for KATU-TV, a ABC affiliate. KOMO was and probably still is it's sister station. It was a interesting job. It was during the Vietnam conflict. I had finished my time in the service and was working at K2. President Nixon came to visit. 1970, if I remember correctly. I have some interesting pics that I took of him, the protesters and riot police and more. Just one of many stories. Spent a lot of time at Trojan nuclear plant when it was being constructed. '70 to '75.
Yes, that is a Mt. Fuji. We have three of them. You should post pictures. Beautiful trees.
Nothing wrong with being a plant enthusiast, I just finished redoing our drip system one more time. :)

Outstanding. You are a colorist. Don't know what that last blue one is.
Thank you,
I have seen your work. It is awesome. I am curious what you would do with this photo? Just wondering. :)
The plant is a rare one. It is a Aquilegia Blue Columbine. From a large family of plants from delicate wildflowers to frilly doubles.

Sigh... a drip system. What must THAT be like?! <3 Still dragging hoses and sprinklers here. ;-)
I looked that up ... sounds like a real interesting job. Beautiful area too.
Maybe I'll get organized and pull out some a few photos from this spring. Each year the trees bloom is a gift at this point. I'll sure miss them when they're gone.
Thank you for the backstory.
