Cee Neuner’s Flower challenge
Flowers are not my forte, as I’m told most of my photos are pleasantly gothic and moody! but occasionally I do take a flower photo I like. Considering my gardening experience I haven’t mastered the art of floral photography and macro but I walk the estuary and the woodland park nearby and there are plenty to choose of both wild and cultivated varieties. I took many photos yesterday and rejected all except two. The echinacea is one from last summer and the tulips and woodland lily are taken from a recent post.

Thank you Karis Macey author of “Upon His Deathbed” for the “Press”
I can’t help including a mood photo!! but the lawn is filled with Bellis and bluebells
bluebells by the old schoohouse
evening sunlight on satin, (tulips under the old oak tree)
flowers of the forest, a tiny dancer on the breeze (erythronium)
Echinacea ( taken late summer last year)) – I loved this one.
Cornus ( dogwood is the provincial flower of BC)

Cee’s challenges are fun! I’m so glad you like my blog as I love your story. I get a vicarious pleasure thinking about your life in Egypt having done some travel myself in that part of the world . I also lived in Athens Greece for a couple of years.

We are all our own harshest critics – if these are not great flower/plant pictures, then surely I don’t know what are. Yes, they have a bit of your style in them, but that is how it should be. Plus you are doing great with your PnS digital!
