As you may have noticed by now, I take LOTS of pictures! Photography is one of my favorite hobbies. I'm far from being professional, but our camera has a wonderful setting for close-ups, and I use it often in my garden. So here are some of my favorites from this year... Crocuses: A Tulip after rain... Bleeding Heart Bridalwreath Spirea Benjamin Franklin peony buds on a rainy day... Lilacs A rugosa rose in June... Apricot Beauty Foxglove Coral Charm Peony Sweet William Dwarf 10-Week Stocks Nasturtiums Peppermint Sticks Balsam "Crocus Rose" (David Austin) Marvel of Peru Sugar Stars Phlox Borage in a bouquet... Love-lies-bleeding Hyacinth bean flowers (with nicotiana in the background)... Black Currant Whirl Hollyhock Old-fashioned Vining Petunias I almost added some nature and animal photos as well, but decided to save them for a future post. Hope you enjoyed these close-ups anyway...as usual, I told myself I'd just post a few pictures, but got carried away before I knew it! I also tried to pick one favorite, but it's as impossible for me as choosing only one favorite flower!
Which is your favorite?
