Old Brick Wall

Wild flowers growing in between cracks in an old brick wall.

I focused on the flowers leaving the background slightly blurred.

I am using a new camera and this was taken during a country shoot.

 Another Black and White photograph to add to my collection.

First sign of Spring

A bud is one of the first signs that says - Spring is here!

Infiorata - A Flower Display

This Italian word, Infiorata, according to the Google Translator means "Flower Display", but to give you a better idea just look at the pictures I took and you will see what it's all about.

 The entrance to the street with the beautiful floral images laid out on the ground.

Every image is made with tiny petals and flowers.

 

These are only a few of the pictures I took, to see all the beautiful gallery click here 

Enjoy!.

The month of Roses

In June, the fairest month of all, bright June, the month of roses.
        . The trees spread out their leafy boughs, the meadows bloom with flowers;
The air is cooled, the dust is laid by calm, refreshing showers;
The sun is up at early morn ^__ his eyes he scarcely closes,
For sunny June is with us now, fair June, the month of roses.

          The yellow rose blooms, .the white, pink, red in prairie, field and garden,
       And for the number and variety seem to ask your pardon;
            Their rich perfume so fills the air, the world seems naught but roses;
            A rosy crown they've made for June, and crowned her
            Queen of Roses.

Last Flowers of Summer

Red Hibiscus

Bright Yellow Day Break- Gazania

I took these pictures on our last trip to the seaside.

The borders of the promenade were full of  Red and Pink Hibiscus as well as these tiny yellow flowers.

Lavender

Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue,
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.

I'm thinking of you!

When somebody gives you pansies they mean to say "I'm thinking of you!"
I would like to dedicate this very first post to a very kind cyber friend and member on a great forum I am part of.
Thank you Jazz !
