Bumblebee seeking Dust on a Flower

Dennis

I had to visit to the authorities yesterday and I found this bumblebee on my way, seeking for dust on a flower. I noticed many of them but decided to go closer to take close-up shot of one of them. When I saw the images on my smart phone display, I thought the photos would be great. But arrived at home, I thought that the photo quality is not so good. But I decided to upload them anyway, because I like to have photos of insects and animals in general on my blog. But also photos of flowers. I think … Continue reading Bumblebee seeking Dust on a Flower

Weekly Photo Challenge: Curves

Dennis

I think flowers have curves as well and this is why I want to participate with a flower photo in the Weekly Photo Challenge: Curves. I found this flower on the balcony of my mother and the flower was in front of a white solar protection wall, which was great because layering effects work too great then. I took the Photo with the camera of the Sony Xperia P Smartphone. I didn´t want to make rocket science with Photoshop and edited the image pretty fast with the smart phone app called pixlr-o-matic. It is an easy app and you can … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Curves

Beautiful Flower found on Grandma´s Campground

Dennis

I found this beautiful pink flower on grandma´s campground. I loved the colour and the shape of the flower and had to take photos. I increased the contrast of the image a lot with Photoshop when I came home from our trip to the nature. I also made a lens correction and added a vignette effect. Now I do think the images are looking nice. Photos are taken with a Sony Xperia P Smartphone Camera. What do you think about the images? Also I would like to ask if anybody knows the name of this flower? More flower photos available … Continue reading Beautiful Flower found on Grandma´s Campground

First Signs of Springtime 2013

Dennis

My mother and me saw the first growing flowers of 2013 yesterday when we walked through downtown of Lübeck. Apart from the first sunbeams we enjoyed, this is a great sign too that Springtime is on the way. I think we have a lack of Vitamin D already and it is great to know that the weather warms up slowly. It was great to see those flowers because they are a sign. Sadly I can´t tell you the name of the flower since I am sadly not a botanist. But maybe you know the name? They are beautiful in the … Continue reading First Signs of Springtime 2013

I like the new edited image pretty much. It´s a fancy daisy now and I hope worth to show you… What do you think? Continue reading The Fancy Daisy

There is just one strong Flower which did survive… and the Flower is poisonous.

Dennis

A lot of dead Flowers but one did survive. That´s what we found on our Journey through the Animal Park of Mölln. The Photo is in bad Quality and somewhat blurry but the Scene is cool anyhow. I mean it´s really funny that there are so many dead Flowers but one did survive. There was a Sign which said it is a Common Foxglove, Lady´s Glove or Purple Foxglove (These are the Translations I found from german to english). I was suprised that the Flower is called Purple Foxglove as the Flower is white. I just can see three Reasons … Continue reading There is just one strong Flower which did survive… and the Flower is poisonous.
