Default Guess what ....................................

Well had to look back a few days to see what I have to share with you.

Some more colour from the Botanic Gardens - shots taken when Angela visited.

Geranium

Geranium Maderense (Madeira cranesbill) Madeira Is

Not sure what this is - haven't asked my wife yet

Flowers

Daffodils

Daffodils

and then Ajuga - a good colourful ground cover for the garden

For me flowers are such a tricky subject to photo, you either get a great shot or a really boring shot. I think you got a set of brilliant shots! My favorite is the first one with the purple flowers, it soo vibrant and brilliant and you captured it beautifully. I do love the Daffodils however I think if the flowers itself had more light on them it would have been my favorite shot, the shadow on them seems to take away a little of the brilliance from the flower, but the angle and the flowers itself are just awesome. Great shots!

Pretty flowers...

I believe the second one is a petunia. I used to work at Lowe's and sometimes in the outside lawn and garden section...I got familiar with a few.

Thanks Amavanna - have to agree with you on those Daffodils. Also could have done more work with PP on these. Will have a look and see what I can change. Cheers, Bernz

Have done so now.

Daffodils
