Autumn isn't all brown leafs and rain. There are still sunny days and sunny flowers. Actually there are quite a few of them, and even the one of my evergreen plants has begun blooming, and I didn't even know it could!
Sunflowers can often be seen during fall around here, which is why they are still "autumny" to me. I so enjoy the last flowers and I hope I will keep on finding flowers for my calendar photos - I would like them all to be authentic out door shots. If this mild weather keeps up, maybe I'll be able to (knock on wood).
The sun sets later and later in the evenings now. As I write this it has already gone down. The day's are colder too and every morning a mist lingers here in the valley where I live, spreading drops of diamonds on every blade of grass and every sunflower petal.

ReplyDeleteHow fun that you have fog in the morning. If you have a chance to capture some of those even if not for your challenge would be wonderful. I love fog and it is rare here and when there is it usually doesn't last long; it may only happen once or twice a year.
Thank you. I tried capturing it this morning, from my attic window, before I went to work, but I wasn't happy with the result - I didn't shoot in portrait dimensions as I was so exited by the light that I forgot haha. I'll definitely try again though.
DeleteI think it is wonderful how our pictures tend to show our moods on the days we take them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree. And my photos here also tend to reflect how I feel when I pick them out, and my ramblings are very often connected to that as well.
DeleteThis was a surprise after yesterday's...when Fall seemed entrenched in your area. This is almost spring-like!
ReplyDeleteHihi, yes, autumn has many faces :)
Deletei must say i love shooting and watching flower photo's, cant resist to view yours
ReplyDeletewhen i look to it i see the life smiling.

Thank you. I'm the same. My W1K portfolio is filled with flowers, lately in particular - since my calendar has the floral macro theme :)
DeleteWhat a lovely composition. The droplets on the petals add to the overall beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad you think so. I experimented with a lot of different crops before settling on this one.
DeleteSo bright and shining. Accordint to Rick, you must be feeling great!! Not under the weather any more :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm all better now. And yes, that was nice day :)
DeleteSuch a joyeus image.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely doesn't shout Autumn to me, but it's lovely that it's amongst everything else - a ray of sunshine through the fog as it were. A nice contrast to the last two images.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess the autumn in this is quite subjective from my part, but I've always loved that the sunflowers are among the last ones to go :), plus, they are beautiful when they are wilting too.
