Images of Flowers

I love flowers,I like the scent,shapes and colors.  The are also one of my favorite photo subjects.  Taking pictures of flowers is a great way to practice your photo skills,unless it is windy they will sit in one spot and let you practice for hours.   Images of flowers also make great artwork perfect to give as gifts.  Living in the South we have a much longer growing season and there are flowers everywhere and I have lots of flower images.

This weeks photo challenge for i heart faces is May flowers.

 

 

 

Here are some of my favorite pictures of flowers.

 

 

 Going to garden shows is also another place to see a lot of different flowers but sometimes the lighting is not very good.   For the best results take your flower photos outside in natural light.   When I get a bunch of flowers from the hubby (rare but it happens once in a while)   I take them outside to photograph.

Each area has it’s own unique flowers,so get outside and take some pictures,flowers are beautiful but don’t last for long.

My favorite flower is a carnation but I have never had any luck growing them.   What is your favorite flower?

    I love carnations too but lilacs I would have to say are my ultimate favorite. They too only bloom around Mother’s Day and I believe once again around the end of July or so. I would love a giant lilac bush in my back yard so I could open my window and smell them every day they are here!

    These are such beautiful photos of various flowers and though I do not know what they all are,I like the pink flowers you have posted. So soft and pretty looking.

    Keep taking those great looking pictures!

    My favorite flowers are lilacs although their growing season is way too short. Can you grow lilac bushes down there? What are the names of the different flowers you have pictures of on this page? Right now I have baskets of impatience and geraniums hanging outside. Hopefully they won’t drown with all the rain we’ve had –that’s if the cold doesn’t get them:)

    Melanie,I like lilacs too,but I do think their scent is much prettier than the flowers

    Carol,I have a lilac bush but it doesn’t seem to grow very well,I am not sure if it is the location or if they don’t grow well here. The 1st and 4th photo are of crab apple blossoms,2nd one is Wisteria,3rd. a rose and the last one is a Tulip
