First Shot & Getting Reds Right
First Shot: Red Ranunculus, 2.18.15

Reds are tricky, as anyone with a camera can tell you. Getting the color true to what our eye sees can take time. This, though, is truly what my eyes saw. And it was lovely. I had to desaturate (WordPress tells me that desaturate isn’t a word. Funny.) the flower in order to get the red to work properly, and work a bit with contrast as well. But this is it. Finally.
Goodnight Flower
Goodnight Flower
After misnaming a poor flower — calling a Papaver nudicaule a Ranunculus, for goodness sake! — I thought I should post a Ranunculus to make up for my error. So here is tonight’s goodnight flower, which I worked on just today, having rediscovered it in last March’s folder.
A Lovely Good Monday Morning To You
Droplets on a Ranunculus Papaver nudicaule Petal, 1.23.15

I sure wish I could say what you see are raindrops, and I wish I could say they occurred recently.
Sadly, neither would be true.
This weather is more than a little frightening. We desperately need rain. I can go for walks without wearing winter clothing, much less rain gear.
Praying for rain ….
Still, I offer you this Ranunculus* (WordPress tells me ranunculus is misspelled. That isn’t true.) petal. Because I can.
*Update: Clearly I mislabeled these poppies. I don’t know where my head was, but I’ve corrected things now. I hope.
