I never get tired of looking at flowers, especially when they are as well presented as these. I especially like the reflection of the sun in the last one!

I always like good floral pictures and these are in that catagory. I really like that last one. So cool to have the sun peeking up behind the subject. Thanks Teedle....

Thanks Mike ... It's not a reflection, I was shooting into the sun that was setting.

Thank You .. Isn't it great when everything smells so good from all the trees around. We have some lilac trees that I can't for to bloom, that is one of my favorite smells.

The ones in the second shoot almost look like translucent glass. All of them are very pretty.

teedlepeep,

That last one has a special effect that separates it. The light, for me, is all-important and that one makes the best of a setting Sun.

I love the jasmine aromas, and also lilac, except for the memories (they were used in early Midwestern landscapes as trellis climbers, to counteract the "outhouse-in-Summer" problem).

Whatever the first "yellow flower" is, also a wonderful fragrance in a shrubbery. Well now I have to go outside and sniff around! Thanks for those, teedlepeep.

Thank You. I was trying to catch those as being a bit delicate. Boy, do the bees love those flowers. It sounded like the tree was alive when I was doing this. Which to me was way scarier then the spiders from this past weekend.

Thank You Jiminy. The first flower is a Fosythia. (not sure if it's spelled right) I like the way the purple from the Rhododendrum's was behind it. The last one is SOOC except for a bit of a crop.

Hope you found some good smells outside

Awwwww Teedlepeep, what a lovely sight your spring is. The bokeh in the first one is soooooo good and a lovely blend with the yellow. The second one is like fresh white linnen, great soft whiteness in the third one and the last one with the lovely coloured flowers being gently kissed goodnight by the setting sun. Beautiful work Teedepeep.

Jake

Lovely captures. For me there is never enough shots of flowers. You can almost smell their perfume through the screen. : )
