A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday – 12
Here’s the twelfth installment of “A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday.” If you’d like, you can view all the earlier Sunday flower images/posts on this page.
I took this photo at the beginning of October in the early afternoon. I don’t know what these flowers are, but they were in a potted mixture of different flowers in front of a public garage.
And this isn’t my usual simple pretty flower by itself, but I think it’s sweet, and there is just something about it that I like. And I hope you do too. (:
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Shot with the 105mm macro lens at f/11.

I don ‘t know what they are either, but I like them.

Really like the “almost” monochromatic quality. Ah, Sunday morning and Katie’s photograph–have a lovely day, Sally

I really like that too, Sally. There’s just something about that in this image. And what a nice thing to say about my photographs for Sundays. Thank you.

Some little flowers open up their hearts to the sun, others are sleepy…

Very pretty, Katie. I really like the DoF and the interest it creates. The white and green hues work very well together, and the details are amazing.

You have some lovely work on your blog. The selective focus works so well with the flower pictures.
Donald Diddams said this on December 11, 2011 at 9:25 am |
Thank you, Donald, for the wonderful comment on my photography. Glad you like the limited focus on my flower images. I agree, it really helps the photos. Thanks also for visiting my blog.

KatiesCameraBlog said this on December 12, 2011 at 7:22 am |
I like it a a lot… not sure if you did this on purpose or by accident but I love how the center of every flower is dark except for the one in the middle. Everything is taking your eyes to that flower… very nice 🙂
2 Rivers Photos said this on December 11, 2011 at 9:54 am |
Thank you! I was concentrating on the open flower, but those other flowers interested me to, so I used a smaller aperture so I could get them in focus, so they would add to the image. I loved their dark centers. Thanks for noticing that!

All that green is doing interesting things to the light. 🙂 I like how they are all in different stages of being open. 🙂
Cin said this on December 11, 2011 at 11:11 am |
I agree, Cin. I really love how the green turned out. The flowers were so together in all their stages, and it’s how I wanted to portray them.

Beautiful flower. it reminds me of Edelweiss
Novroz said this on December 12, 2011 at 4:34 am |
I have to look Edelweiss up. I only know the word from The Sound of Music. 🙂
KatiesCameraBlog said this on December 12, 2011 at 8:38 am |
You never seen edelweiss?
I saw the little flower when I still had time to do lots of hiking up to some mountains
Novroz said this on December 13, 2011 at 8:52 am
Yep, I’v never seen it. It’s not in the US much I don’t think. I’d love to see some in person! 🙂
KatiesCameraBlog said this on December 14, 2011 at 6:18 am

I’m horrible at naming flowers, and yet I love them so much. Beautiful.
TBM said this on December 12, 2011 at 8:42 am |
I’m like you! I know the flowers I know, but there are so many out there that I have just no clue about. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
KatiesCameraBlog said this on December 13, 2011 at 7:30 am |
So pretty and much appreciated at this time of year 😉

Beautiful, Katie. Your work keeps me motivated. 😉

Ah, thank you Ryan, so much. What a nice compliment.
KatiesCameraBlog said this on December 13, 2011 at 7:38 am |
These look so delicate. They must be small, I’m guessing? Great shot!
Jenna said this on December 12, 2011 at 7:21 pm |
Yes, Jenna, they are small, but not tiny, if I remember correctly. Thanks for your comment!
