Flower Photography Safari

Lately I've been on a flower photography safari.

Its Spring afterall.

Beaver Puppy won't sit long enough for me to focus the camera and mess with the controls. {They always say to not work with dogs or children.}

The flowers however are willing to wait until I get the correct settings.

Luv the intense deep purple, sapphire, violet and almost black tones in this Beaded Iris {in a neighbor's front yard} ... here's a close up ...




And here's the flower in full glory ...



This is my 99th post!  There's something about a 100th post that makes me feel it should be special, a great idea, or break-through of some kind, or maybe you'd like to just come to the grocery store or farmer's market with me ... you know, "day in the life" {yawn}?!  If you haven't noticed, I've been a bit short of ideas {and motivation} lately, so if you have any suggestions about #100, please, please, pretty please, leave it in the comments below :)

And of course, thanks so much for visiting today!

Iris are my top two favorite flowers Hyacinth and Blue Hydrangea. We tried everything we could to get Iris' in our wedding we just couldn't.. not even silk flowers that looks real enough in August. Beautiful photography like always!!!
