Another Moment in the Garden

A Moment in the Garden

After providing beauty in full bloom, all that is left is the core of the flower.

Time in the Garden

Early morning in a summer garden to capture the last iris before it fades, plus a poppy and a Peony.

Be Still My Bleeding Heart

One of the joys of spring is what blooms in the garden…

A Few Minutes In The Garden

Due to other work and a rebuilding project at home, I haven’t been able to get to far from home lately.  But I was able to spend a few minutes enjoying the flowers in the garden.

Playing In The Park

I had some time while waiting for a family member and, as usual, I had a camera with me. Since I was near Leif Erickson Park and the Duluth Rose Garden, two popular parks in Duluth, I took time to wander around and see what would catch my eye.  The roses are not yet in bloom, but other flowers were and there were other subjects that caught my attention.  I used three different lenses and once again experimented with depth of field and framing.
Later, when examining the images, I decided that next time I will try expanding my focus points to allow more of certain subjects to be in focus.  Some of the flower shots could have benefited from more overall focus.  However, the bokeh is pleasing in some and I want to improve upon the selective focus used in a couple of others.

On To The Next Flower

A lucky shot, didn’t see the bee flying into the frame.

Harbinger of Spring

The early bloomers of spring always serve as a reminder that winter is fading away, more is yet to come and soon the garden will be filled with a riot of color.
