Flowers and sunshine



A lovely weekend at my daughters and I managed to take some close ups of flowers in the garden - the huge tulips had gone over and were losing their petals but looked absolutely luminous in the sun.

I tried to catch the fragile dandelion clocks - not terribly successfully :>) the light and shadows on the eucalyptus tree was lovely with the blue grey leaves and warm reddish branches














Dont' forget to check on the challenge links - there are new additions to see at the top of the list :>)

Gig Harbor flowers
Hi
Your macro photos inspired me to go out early this morning and take some myself with my OH reflecting the sunlight for me with a reflector. Love the close up of the tulips - coloured pencil or pastel sketching there?? I am waiting to catch a dandelion head - they are still very yellow up here.
Cheers

thank you both :>)

I see a new body of work coming from your photos Shirley :>)

Yes I'll probably work from them at some point - not sure exactly when though. I'd like to do some large paintings from them but work committments at the moment aren't leaving me with much energy!
