It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powered gold over the grassy hillside. – Maude Hart Lovelace
Despite the volume of rain we got last week, I did manage to get outside with the camera and practice a bit more! I am looking at things differently as I contemplate images. I am learning lots from Carole and Vicki and I am so thankful to them and their brilliant photos that inspire me to get better!
If only that tremulous drop of water was more in focus!
It is amazing what just a tiny movement of the camera can do
I think early morning photos after it rained might be my favorite thing of all and the light is wonderful! This waning rose turned out wonderfully – not perfect, but I really love the image. Rosy reds are so hard to photograph, but early morning light gives the best possible conditions to try – and try I did!
The focus was not perfect, but that mosquito!
I also love the “surprises” I get when taking photos. These tomato blossoms are a perfect example of that with the fly in from a mosquito! I am glad her attention was focused elsewhere and not on me!
Color, water, definition… and one wee bug!
Finally, this little zinnia (I think? I am not sure, Steve’s mom gave us some “left over plants” she was not going to use) Anyways, the color is so wonderful and I love how it turned out – although trying to focus on something so low to the ground was a challenge.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that your week will be full of good things!
Lovely pictures! Focussing on that one drop is really hard, but it’s still a great picture. I think the last one is my favorite though.
Beautiful, Kat!!
The colors! Such happy sights to see to start off the week!
Gorgeous shots Kat! Happy Monday!
Such nice shots, Kat! 🙂 I’m always surprised at the bees that show up in my photos when I’m taking photos in my garden. And, yep! That’s a zinnia. (One of my favorites — and especially the orange ones.)
Love that orange zinnia. Very nice shots Kat!
As always, your photos are beautiful. I love the unexpected moments.
Rain seems to intensify the color and drama of these lovely photos. I love how macro photography also reveals bugs!
These are lovely-the tomato blossom is the best!
