on their way out | nappanee photographer

this year was crazy hard on the gardens.
i suppose it didn't help that i didn't water the flowers once this year.

bad gardener... baaaad.

i like to think that by planting all perennials, the garden's on auto-pilot.

you throw a kid who's in trouble out there once in awhile to pull the weeds, and let those babies go.

that's my idea of flower gardening.... lazy style☺


they're on their way out now but these were some of my favorites...








love me a little flower bokeh!
mmmmm.....


so long, my pretties☺

friday favorite | nappanee portrait photographer

this is my pick today because...

• these pretty little roses...they are like happiness wrapped up in a very small package
• i think i could grow to love macro
• i love to play with textures, i'm always looking for something new. this one was a freebie from kaleidoscope through mcp actions. you may still be able to download this if you follow the mcp link

*this image was shot at f2.8, 1/500, iso 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens.

friday favorite : nappanee photographer

this is my pick today because:

• it's something different, i don't usually spend a lot of time photographing anything other than people & i don't have a macro lens (which is what i would use if i was purposefully going to photograph things like flowers and bugs & things like that)
• i know it's a "no-no" to photograph flowers in full sun, but we were walking through these gardens & i was taking photos of the little boy & caught this just because it was so pretty...i wasn't looking for photographic perfection...☺
• i love this texture!

*this image was shot @ f5.6, 1/400, iso 100 at 135mm with a 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 lens
