While Sue was out with the car, I had a few minutes, yesterday, to photograph some neighbourhood flowers. Just a few houses down, there are some yellow flowers by a fence, and I thought the combination would look good. However, when I saw the result on the computer, I didn't like the fence, so I cropped it out.
This next patch is brighter with some echinacea in the background. With these flowers well past their prime, I don't think the photo works, but I like the idea.
I did find one echinacea bloom that remained in pretty good shape, so I focussed on it.
It is just about 5:15AM. Bob will pick me up at 6 to go to a spot where he thinks there might be a decent sunrise. We shall see.
I had the alarm set for 4:30 but opened my eyes at 4:29, which saved Sue from having to hear it. I've had my coffee (tassimo) already, and the adjacent pot is set up for her and ready for her to turn on.
It is cold this morning, 10C/50F, so I have to think of how to dress.
Oops. He just texted me to see if I might be ready at 5:45, so I shall get on my horse.
Have a good day.
We are up early here to head north to the Flume Gorge at Fronconia Notch State Park.
ReplyDeleteI liked the second photo best.
You and Bob are definitely early birds. I hope you get the worm.
ReplyDeleteI like the flower photos, and I really like the colour combination of the purpley pink and the yellow.
I like the second shot the best, but they are all good. Hope you have success this morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you saw a good sunrise, even though it’s cold. Same here today, cold that is.
ReplyDeleteHope the sunrise was good for photo shoot. (since you'll be reading this after) It's been high 60s F here at night, but dipped into 50s a few times last week. Today will be up to 80s again...and we'll doubt that it's really Sept. These flowers are nice, but I tend toward ones where blurry bit is less than the focused one. I know, just my little opinion.
ReplyDeleteI would have a huge difficulty getting up so early! But I'm glad you do so we can see your photos of sunrises. I really love the flower photos today.
ReplyDeleteYou are a committed photographer! I love them.
ReplyDeleteI used to get up that early for work, and sometimes miss the quiet and dark of the very early morning. (but getting up at 8 is much more relaxing!) Hope you got some good shots. I love the clear with the blurry background, although I don't know the technical term for it. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're very pretty shots!
ReplyDeleteOur morning will be 60F for the first time in many months. Looking forward to the cooler weather at last. Maybe I'll open the windows tonight. Our coneflowers are done as well and the birds are after the seeds.
ReplyDeleteI like wide aperture pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! :)
