Every time I took a picture this week, I thought of the sun shining on my face. I love the effects of color and light; they enhance my creativity. I’m going to skip captions most of the time.
For one thing, I can’t keep track of all that spelling and the precise names, and some correction freak gets huffy and happy whenever they encounter a mistake. I’d rather people who find it essential go somewhere else, for their sake and mine.
It’s about the pictures for me, not the spelling of the names.
You can see the impact of bright sunshine on every one of these pictures. I learned a lot about exposure, so they honor sunshine.
This week’s heat inspired and challenged me and helped me learn a lot about color. Tomorrow morning, I get some blood drawn; my regularly scheduled check-up will be on Monday.
This week has been exciting but also tiring. We’ve never had a heat wave like this one. I look forward to seeing you in the morning. I might be heading for cataract surgery. The bright sun is getting to me, and I need to see colors.
This is another procedure that will make things better.
I’ll let these speak for themselves.
It’s better if people use their imaginations to see what they see, which is different from what I see.
Signing out for tonight; thanks for following me.
I believe you came to a wise conclusion about not posting captions with regard to the names of the flowers. Your captures of the sunlight on the flowers are beautiful. Best not to invite anything that distracts from the beauty and feeling of the flowers themselves. Despite Shakespeare’s well-known comment (“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”), the technical side of those who study flowers seems to crop up often (and not always in a helpful way). I believe that the joy is the part that matters, that should be at the center of our focus. Thanks for the photos!
Thanks for your thoughts, Athena
These are so interesting , arresting. The heat and light are palpable.
Your beautiful flower photos are there to greet me every morning, thank you…I love my garden but the details you capture are a study for the true character and structure of the flowers
