How Many Flowers Does One Person Need?

In my case the answer is “As many as possible!”

I’ve just been going through my Flickr account because I was noticing I had some duplicate images there. As I started to then peruse my flora photo album I realized I certainly do have a whole lot of photos of flowers. No surprise.

And I’m not done yet!

This is not the “all of it”, but it’s fun to take a screen shot of just a few of the images … not that you can really see them when they are this tiny! (In case you are wondering, there are over 1700 images below.)

I’m also going through these flora images because I’m putting together a few more card boxes. One is titled “Friends” and another will be “Hearts”. I still need to put together a few Christmas box selections as well. It all takes time, but it’s so very fun and rewarding to do these.

Looking In Odd Places

I’ve been known to shoot leaves in gutters, bouquets that have been tossed in dumpsters,  and flowers in yard waste piles. The latter is where I found a bunch of gorgeous gladioli. This is definitely not the best shot, and I think I might have a few that are print-worthy, but this is most definitely the first shot so I’m posting it first. Just because.

It’s always good to remember to look in unexpected places for photo opportunities!
