My flower photography has a great deal to do with light and where the sun is for me. The light was perfect this morning; I couldn’t wait to get out there and be rewarded for my troubles.

It’s a hot day, but the sun is bright, and in the early morning and late afternoon, I do my best stuff, I think. The flowers really do most of the work.  I think they are meant to be translucent.

I feel like Popeye eating spinach.

I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for your generous messages. My head is going to swell.

I always make sure the flowers are between me and the sun.

I’m a color and light addict; I can’t get enough of either. My raised garden beds are a gift.

I am drawn to flowers that lean on each other and grow into one another. My beds are not neat or carefully planned.

The morning sun lights up the hanging flowers on our porch—Photographer’s dream.
