The meerkat's harbls are too hot! He's gotta air them out.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
That meerkat is a man after my own heart, a guy who really knows how to kick back and relax.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
I like thw swan shot, and commented on it on Flickr.

Here's something I saw Saturday morning:

Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
That's really lovely. I like how the petals are such a flat white, with just a hint of pink or cream to them.
From my garden, something I just took with a lot more colour -
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Beautiful troubleagain! We have two magnolia trrees in the garden, but the flowers are really high up:

Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Magnolias are yummy--I love the scent AND those creamy blossoms. I don't have a tree, though. If I get a "magnolia" at all, I want a Japanese magnolia, though. I don't want to deal with those huge leaves and seed pods.
Featherlou, is that a viola?
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Yup, that's a viola that has popped up right in front of my irises. Which, by the way, are blooming magnificently for the first time. The blooms are about a meter tall!
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Oooh, nice!
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Speaking of high up- these Boganvilla blossoms are reaching for the sky!
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
I like that picture, Papaw. It's very energetic.
Some more pics of the flowers in my yard -
An iris bloom by the evening light.
Spring asters and friends.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
So, after the company picnic at the Indianapolis Zoo, I entered my pictures in the photo contest. Lo and behold the laid back meerkat took first place.
Personally I thought I had submitted better pictures, heck I though a lot of people's pictures were better.
It seems art and the popularity thereof is truly in the eyes of the beholders.
Anyway, thanks to all Dark Room denizens and especially to garygnu for the tips on photography.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
That's awesome, Dangerously Unqualified. Congratulations!
ETA: You should photoshop a tiny little banjo onto him.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Single cactus flower.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
It looks like it's glowing, Papaw. Lovely.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
How do you make weeds look pretty? 50mm lens in Aperture Priority and manual focus to catch Bokeh, that's one way.
Done for a challenge on Flickr. challenge was to get out of your comfort zone and try things you don't normally do. I needed to use the Canon 50mm lens more, and wanted to get Bokeh intentionally, rather than by luck and chance.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
That's not a weed! That's a mexican petunia! Well, okay, it can BE a weed, but I have it in my garden on purpose.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Yeah, if that's your worst weed, I'll take it!
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Check out my crazy flowers - they look like tiny little eggplants!
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
They look droopy and sad. Are they supposed to hang down like that?
What flower is that?
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Yep, that's how they go. They are, if I recall correctly, bellflowers. Yeah, here's a picture like them -
I think I like this kind better, though -
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Looks like a variant of the Foxglove.

Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Finally got some up on PhotoBucket. Let's see if I can linky. No idea how to reduce the image size to where they appear here, but here we go !!
Image 1
Image 2
Image 3
No idea what they are !! The water droplets on the first one are natural. It was starting to drizzle. The color saturation and the light were just perfect for this kind of thing. Just had to keep the slow rain off of the camera body !

Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
1 - azalea is my guess, but I'm no azalea expert
2 - iris
3 - lilac variety - possibly Preston lilac
To reduce size, there is a link on the top of the picture that says, "edit image/see much more" - the resizing is under there, with a button that says "Resize."
To direct link to images, you can copy the Direct Link code in the Share this Image box, and just surround it with [img] tags.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Yes, the first is an azalea. Lovely pics!

Not only does the wife have Moon Flowers, she has Naked ladies...

Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
I love that, Clayton.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Thanks.. I'm by no means a flower photo person.. I was walking around Burlington VT and outside a library was a bunch of flowers.. my girlfriend took a few photos for her aunt that does flower gardens and stuff like that for a living.. I was bored so I tried the macro setting on some flowers for the heck of it. One turned out good.. Only photoshop was I brought out the white at the very top a little bit.. It looked like a very light gray.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
If you plant it, they will come!
Milkweed is the host plant for Monarch butterflies. I planted some last year, without even knowing what I'd bought. Yesterday, I spotted my first Monarchs! Yay!
I have a lot more, here in my flickr album.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Ooh, those are both lovely.
Re: Flower/Nature Pictures You Are Proud Of
Great picture grrl. Colleen has some new ones I need to look at today.
