Default More morning walk flowers?

Yep, same walk, different flowers... These are of the same flower, just a little different angle. I believe it's called milkweed but, I'm not sure. Hope you like them.

Great job Fred, I like the way you have done the second one with all kinds of stuff in the background, but the flower pops right out.

Very Nice Fred, I like the second one best although I'm pretty sure they are the same flower. The background in the 1st one look a little over processed locally around the flower.
Do the call these Calla lily's?
Thanks for Sharing these
Chewys Dad.

Hi Fred , would you believe I shot some of these today as well. My nephew was fascinated by them yesterday and I just passed them up. I didn't really like them. But today I saw some more and when I looked through my lens I found them much more interesting. You captured these very nicely indeed. I love how you made the first one have a glow to it, cool!

Here are mine:

Hey, Fred. I've missed so many photos while I was in Santa Barbara, I'm just happy I didn't miss these! I think they are called Sacred Datura or Applethorn. Here's a link: http://www.saguaro-juniper.com/i_and...ra/datura.html Isn't the tinge of purple on the tips so pretty? You did a really nice job with these shots!

These are like trupets blowing a fanfare for you to walk past. These are brilliant captures my friend and lovely soft colours. Nice word Fred.
