Have a Bit of Color

I do love Nigella and Coreopsis. Together I think they make a lovely color combination!

(If I may be so bold: If you are seeing this on my Facebook photography page that means the sharing is actually working! AND if that’s the case … If you feel so inclined could you share it with others? I’d love it if those who think they will no longer see my flowers could be reminded that they are here!)

Looking Back

Sometimes I go back over past years’ work, primarily to see what I should finally trash. I’ve learned to wait at least a year — and usually longer — to completely remove images from my files. I’ve found that after a time I might change my mind about things I deemed rotten.

Today I was looking back in 2013 for some reason, and had a bit of fun with these Nigella damascena. It’s doubtful they would work for prints, but I still love these flowers and enjoyed working with these images from over five years ago. I’m sort of glad I didn’t trash them immediately.

These two images are of the same flower, captured at different angles. I had to shoot the second when I noticed that one bent over stamen. Just because.
