Default I hope you are not tired.....

....of flowers. I took the first 2 a few weeks ago. I kill my flowers so quickly that I try to take lots of shots of them so I can remember what they looked like......

The grasshopper just landed there from what seemed like out of nowhere....
DSC04637

This one just looked so pretty with the sun hitting it. It looked like it was glowing.
DSC04742

This one is my favorite. I got outside just as the sun was starting to set a bit, and i actually used my tripod, went manual, and out to used some of the things that I have learned from here and books. I was just pleased with how it turned out.
orange flower

I hope you enjoy.

Thanks so much for looking and for your great comments. I forgot to add, that on the last one, i really wanted a dark background. I could not find anything black, until I finally thought of the plastic top of a coffee can. Hey whatever it takes, huh??
