Theme Thursday: Flowering
Funny story. I went to the botanical gardens today in blistering heat dargging along both my cameras (My P&S specifically because it takes WAY more awesome macros than my DSLR thanks to my distinct lack of a macro lens) specifically to get some good flowering photos but nothing seemed to be flowering! Lots of green but not much by way of other colors. Except the roses.
I really really dislike roses. A lot. They are so cliche. I am just not a fan. I didn’t want them in my wedding, I don’t want them for Valentine’s Day, I don’t buy them for my home. So of course the roses are what I had to work with.
Later we went to another park that had MUCH better color but I didn’t realize there were gardens at all on the grounds so I didn’t bring in my great macro-shooter. All I had to work with was my DSLR.
So the top two pictures are from the DSLR and the bottom, well, roses are from the Point ‘n Shoot.

Funny about not liking roses. I very much dislike carnations because to me they are funeral flowers. They smell like funerals. Every funeral arrangement seems to be padded with carnations. I have always made it very clear to my husband to never get me carnations, not even when I’m dead.
Great photos, btw!

Beautiful shots! I’m not a huge fan of red roses as they are cliche, but the various other colors - especially peach - now those I love!
