Day 21: I confess I don't care for this prompt. I don't like to make things blurry on purpose, as a rule. But I did it anyway. I set a tiny aperture so I could get a slow shutter speed, and I waited for the wind to blow this lily all over the place. And after that was done, I took another picture, with the lily sharply in focus, and a reasonably shallow depth of field, just like I like it 😆

Day 20: Today's prompt was meant for a sunny day, which I don't have, but I do have this lovely kitchen window light, that renders beautifully on a Polaroid. More accurately, it's the moody shadows that get me. Sadly, the Polaroid was disappointing (how many times has *that* phrase been uttered?), so I used my Canon, and I'm happy with those results. Then, just for kicks, I set up my Kodak for a little #ThroughTheViewfinder fun, which I haven't done since 2010 🙂 #PictureFlowers #Photography

Day 19: A honeysuckle couple sits on the hill in their back yard watching the fireworks. That's what it looks like to me, anyway 😄

Day 18: It took me so long to get outside with my camera, all of the bees had gone home for the night. So how about an image illustrating the symbiotic ant/peony relationship instead?

Day 6: A "studio portrait" of an azalea blossom in a vintage coke bottle.

Day 3: Appreciating the details of a dandelion from an up-close and personal vantage point.

Day 2: I have a few vases, but I only use them on the rare occasion that I have a big bouquet. Mostly I am a wildflowers in old bottles kind of girl

Happy May! My favorite month. My birthday month. My going to OCNJ month. My family BBQ month. My everything turning green and blooming month. And this year it is also my #PictureFlowers with Tracey Clarke month. Day one had us seeking out an as-yet-unopened flower, so naturally I captured one of my favorites: a peony. You know you will be seeing more of these by the end of the month 🩷😍🌸
