Sunday Stills - Wildflowers






Well I didn't realize until I started uploaded that I got no oranges or reds! Oh well. Here are my top pics for the week! I think I have a problem with zooming in on my subjects! Maybe I need to challenge myself to focusing a little farther away and seeing what I come up with. I also got some really good shots of a butterfly. But I didn't want to take away from the wildflower challenge so I will post them later! Happy 4th everyone!


O.K. heres the challenge and it is a challenge. Grab your camera and find an open field, fence row, empty lot, and get some wildflowers. The challenge is no flower gardens, botanical gardens, hanging baskets, etc… I manage to find wildflowers in the most unusual places, you just have to look. Oh yeah, weeds are considered wildflowers. The only folks who get a pass this week are those of you who live in the Southern Hemisphere because its winter,so, whatever ya find thats cool.
Good Luck….Ed"

    Your pics look great, do you use a tripod or go freehand? I always use my tripos for macros..:-)

    I thought of doing one like your first one, but had so many to choose from here that I didn't. Great selection!

    Great variety of pinks and white, some times it is hard for me to pick photos too! They are all very pretty! :)

    I like the second one, too. I believe it is called Water Willow, and here it grows in our rivers.

    It doesn't appear to me, from my unskilled perspective, that you have a problem zooming in at all! What is the white flower? It looks so pure!
