Playing around with some of my garden flower photos, and decided to convert a couple to HDR. I think they look sort of surreal, but still really pretty! I especially love the gladiola, above. This is the same photo that I posted a couple of days ago, but now it's in HDR. Not saying one is better than the other - just think both are pretty and very cool in their own way!
Here's an apricot colored daylily. There's something about this photo that just feels so fresh and clean to me. I'm not necessarily an apricot person, but I really do love this color!
And, finally, a photo from the Sandia Mountains - the HDR effect isn't quite as pronounced here, but it does have a nice "look" to it.
Enjoy!
There were such beautiful blooms in our front yard today, I couldn't resist snapping a few photos to share! The above photo is of a gladiola that I planted in one of my pots (along with moss roses) - I just love the color of it!
And, this lovely pair of blooms are day lilies, which are blooming for the first time since I planted the bulbs/corms a couple of years ago. Some of my day lilies are still quite small, but eventually, I'll have a wonderful day lily patch!
And, finally, this close-up of another type of lily that has started blooming for the first time in the garden. I planted the bulb/corm a couple of years ago, so I don't even remember what type of lily this is! LOL! Still, it is really pretty and worth the wait.
Enjoy!
Yesterday, I went out in our front yard garden and got some really nice images of the daylilies growing there. I think of the above shot as somewhat Georgia O'Keefe-ish. The coloring was just so pretty, tho, I couldn't help but want to just focus on that.
This next one was just the perfect yellow! It looked both vibrant and delicate at the same time. I'm so glad that daylilies do well here in the high desert! I thought when we left the Midwest that I wouldn't be able to have them in my garden down here, but as you can see, they do very well here!
And, this last image is one of my favorites, too! These two just seemed to pose so perfectly together, I couldn't resist the shot. How lovely.Enjoy!
