I love to travel.
When I travel, I love to take pictures.
I have been accused of traveling for the sake of taking pictures.
In those travels, I have taken pictures of flowers. I am usually not too impressed with my photos of JUST flowers, particularly single flowers. I guess I have seen so many photos of flowers that unless it's something spectacular, it's just ANOTHER flower picture...at least the one's I take.
I do, however, seem to use flowers frequently as part of the bigger picture.
I think I am just a "bigger picture" kind of guy.
Anywho...here are some places I have been where flowers jumped into the picture:

| Morrow Rock, California |
 |
| NW Harbor, Acadia National Park, Maine |
 |
| Acadia National park coast |

| Chicago skyline from Navy Pier |
| I do occasionally focus my camera a little closer and sometimes it takes pretty decent shots: |

| Gainesville, Florida Butterfly Garden |
I hope you enjoyed my photos! This was written for this weeks "Flowers " prompt from:

You will have to join the group to see anything, but they are not a scary bunch and it's FREE. What else could you ask for?
Ooooohhh... I like your perspective! Great job and great pics! Thanks for blogging with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Nice to be back in blogging mode (and thanks tons for the prompts! That gives me a direction. I am usually a bit scatter brained to focus sometimes)
DeleteI ran out of time to do the shoe thing. See my comment to Jo below.
Very nice...and I bet you have shoes you could 'pose' for a great shot! ♥
ReplyDeleteHaha Jo!
ReplyDeleteWe took a trip to the Biltmore House in North Carolina last week. You have NO idea how close I came to taking a picture of my shoe and photoshopping it over a couple of pictures I took while there!
I just ran out of time.
Beautiful Pics Lee.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry.
DeleteI'm trying to get back into writing mode. Life keeps stepping in though!
aweome,lee didnt really execpt nothing less from you tho!--mastin
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you!
DeleteGreat pictures, Lee, especially the one of Chicago. I do love that city! And your closeup is beautiful, too. I see you like boats and water, maybe a little bit better than flowers. And I think taking pictures is a great reason to travel--not that I need any excuse.
ReplyDeleteChicago is a great place to have a camera. I made the mistake of being there once during St. Patty's day. That place was wall to wall green people!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't need much of an excuse to travel either. If someone asks me "Do you want to go..." I'm in the car before they finish the sentence.
