This week, Tina says, “You Pick It” for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge and my reply would be, “I pick flowers,” but only figuratively speaking. I rarely pick flowers to put in a vase. I’d much rather see them growing in the garden. So, that being the case, here is a bouquet of some of my favorite flower shots taken from way back in the photo archives.
Wonderful colours, Sue 🙂 🙂
Thanks, Jo! When I picked these pictures out, we’d had several rather gloomy days and they seemed to brighten things up.
Gorgeous bright colors! Especially loved the Pansy.
Thank you! The pansy is one of my favorites. It’s like a little face. I haven’t grown it in the garden for quite a while so maybe I’ll give it another try next spring.
A very welcome display of colour at a gloomy time of year for us. Thank you.
Thanks, Tom! That’s how I felt. Flowers always seem to lift the spirits.
Marvelous series Sue – loved the burst of color on an otherwise dreary, rainy day!
Thanks, Tina. Even on a sunny day, the garden seems rather dull now, so it’s nice to have pictures to look back on to remind us of what’s to come.
All so pretty n vibrant!
Thank you! I’ve always loved growing flowers in the garden, and photography has provided an added dimension to that enjoyment.
Beautiful photos!
Thank you so much! And thanks for stopping by.
You’re welcome!
Adorable!
Thanks, Liz! The garden is looking rather bare now, so this is about the time when I start searching back over the photo files for a bit of color and oomph.
Stunning photos, Sue. I prefer to leave them be too.
Thanks, Tracy! They never seem to last all that long when you pick them, especially wildflowers.
Exactly.
Such a treat to see these flower gallery. 🙂 Thank you, Sue!
Thanks, Amy. Flowers are always my ‘go-to’ when I need to cheer myself up.
💖💗
Wonderful flower display, Sue. 🙂
Thank you, Miriam!
You’re welcome, Sue! ☺️
This is such a special post… wonderful photos to brighten up everyone’s day. So many bright and beautiful flowers …love them all.
Thanks, Marianne! I can’t wait to see them all again next year.
Beautiful! Great flowers, great photographs.
Thank you, John. At least the flowers stay still (unless it’s windy) which makes them somewhat easier to capture than wildlife.
How positive vibes from these beautiful photos! Flowers are major reasons to my wellbeing! Thank you!
I’m so glad you liked these, Ann-Christine. There’s nothing like the sight of some colorful flowers to brighten the day.
You are SO right!
Hello Sue.
Incredible beautiful!. Thank you.
Happy weekend!
Thank you so much! Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Gorgeous, Sue! The roses look so perfect, they almost don’t look real.
Thank you! That second rose shot was taken in the morning, just after we’d had a very light frost, and the sun was melting the droplets. It looked amazing!
