My six-year-old son presented me with a two-flower bouquet today. As soon as I saw those beauties, I knew that he had filched them from someone’s garden. My initial dismay turned to surprise when I discovered that they were in fact from my own yard! My husband was kind enough to plant these bulbs for me last year. Aren’t they gorgeous?
I am determined to learn how to properly use my camera, so the above shot was using the aperture priority mode (I ventured beyond auto settings – yay!), attempting to focus the flowers and blur the background. It’s a rough attempt, but that’s the only way I’m going to learn.
I had another purple flower and a bud in the yard; apparently he snagged the only pink one, so I’ll just have to wait for more. Do you know what kind of flowers these are? I’m notorious for buying bulbs and not remembering what we’ve planted.
What beautiful flowers! How fun to move beyond auto mode. That’s something I really want to work on, too. This is such a great time of year with flowers blooming and the blah colors of winter turning green! I look forward to many more awesome pictures as you move out of ESO. LOL! 😀
I am not sure what flower that is, but is really pretty! When we got our new camera last summer I had such fun taking picture of our morning glories that grow up the windmill. I got a real beauty of one! Our camera has a setting that is for flowers. It blurs out everything but the flower and the picture I took is one of my favorites! Looks very professional! 🙂
Like I said in my handwriting post, I love making my own letters and sometimes using other peoples! We are soo alike!
Hope you have a good trip! Really stinks that you are in Dollywood this weekend instead of 2 weekends ago. We were right in that neck of the woods and it would have been amazing to meet you! Oh well! Hopefully soon?!
Love,
Miss Amanda
