A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday – 3

Okay, so I’m on a roll here. Sundays are for simple flowers. You can see the first post and the second post, if you’d like. Here’s one for today.

I took this photo earlier in the year. It was mid-winter and very cold out, but my lovely cyclamen plant was full of life. I purposely positioned the photo with my yellow lawn chair outside the window, so that it would add a bit more color and visual interest to the photo, yet still be out of focus. This photo actually became my official “happy birthday” card for this year that I email friends.

This was taken with my 105mm macro lens at f/3.2. Natural light from the window.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Very nice! You captured the light and the flowers very nicely!! I love the redness of the flowers. It is soft and very vibrant and the same time!

Lovely shot. And who wouldn’t love to get this as a birthday card? Thanks for visiting my blog. I will definitely be back here. Your photography is gorgeous. And, I have a soft spot for macro pictures of flowers, so I have a new Sunday treat!

Beautiful shot! I love that you thought of the yellow chair in the background – it makes this image more dramatic and interesting. Nice series of flower photos you have!

- Thanks, Jenna! I did take a few exposures without the chair, and it was just boring. I’m so glad you noticed what a difference the yellow makes in the photo. Thanks so much for your comment!

Tis a simple flower, Katie, yet it’s beautiful. The simplest things in life sometimes are, aren’t they? I am suddenly feeling the Zen-like beauty of the simple.

So pretty! Mine are coming out a their summer slump but not quite yet…

- Thank you! The same cyclamen is starting to bloom again here. Nice to know that it’s not unusual for the cyclamens to have a summer slump. Mine lost most of its leaves at one point, but now is looking nice and pretty again. So glad I stuck with it. Thanks again for you comment!

They remind me of pinwheels. Wonderful shot, flowers are so beautiful each one so different.
