Flower Sky

Hello,

In spring I was in California visiting my parents and as always I was amazed by all the flowers.  In California you can see flowers all year round all over the place.  My mom has a yard that she loves to have all kinds of plants in it.  Orchids, roses, decorative grasses, fruit trees, vegetables, flowering plants, and just about anything unusual.  This plant is growing right near my old bedroom, so at night I used to smell the lovely scent they would give off.

This photo was taken then I was just getting used my Sony A55.  I was working so hard to learn how to use it that I was taking a bunch of photos of everything.  I was under the plant looking up to get the great light and color that was there at the time.  The pink and white of the flowers with the green of the leafs make a wonderful color foreground to the blue sky.  To me the little bit a cloud coming from the sky is breathtaking.

Thank you very much.

Morning Glory

Hello,

This beautiful morning glory looks more like the sun in a blue sky to me.  The blue is almost perfect for the sky color.  The yellow center with the rays stretching out is a great sun as well.  The fade from the center seems to me like when you look right at the sun then the blue sky gets darker as you look away from it. Without a single cloud, how lovely an image that is.

When I saw this on one of my walks I just had to take a picture of it.  One shot and one photo, which rarely happens to me, I normally take five pictures and maybe one is good.  There are many different colors and different people that have morning glories around me that I see a different one almost every time I take a walk.

Thank you for looking
