Another sunny warm February day

Love tulips. This is a tulip from a bouquet, photographed with my macro lens.

Today another wonderful sunny day, feels like spring.

Crocus, flowering in the garden.

Observation: We saw a European Greenfinch (Groenling) in the garden. It is the first Greenfinch we saw this winter in the garden.

Rose macro

I'm fascinated by flowers, and photographing flowers, macro photography, is the kind of photography I like the most. Not very very close macro photography but like the photos above.

Because there are no flowers in the garden :-) I bought some roses to photograph.
Always a struggle to find a nice background.
Also a chalenge to find the right aperture, to get a nice balance between the flower and the blurred background.

Flowers, flowers, summer memories

Flowers, I love to photograph flowers. In the garden, in the countryside, everywhere.
Most of the time I use my macro lens, to see and photograph the amazing details.

Scabiosa Purpurascens is one of my favorite flowers. The flowers are so delicate and have a wonderful blue color.

A single purple Columbine.
Below the hardy Geranium versicolor. All the photos I made of photos in my garden.

Sunny white Rudbeckia

Last month I also bought a white Rudbeckia garden plant. There are also beautiful, like the purple ones.
There are photogenic too :-)
I used my 250 mm Canon telelens to get close to the flower, I couldn't get close enough with my 60mm macro lens.

Purple Rudbeckia

Wonderful autumn flowers, the purple pink flowers of the Rudbeckia.
They brighten up the garden in fall.
Love the way they look with the petals a bit hanging down and the stamen at the top.
The contrasting colors a so beautiful too.

The delicate Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla flowers are so very delicate. I love to photograph the gorgeous flowers with the hair on the petals.
The color contrast of the stamen and the red petals is wonderful too.
