A sunflower in a garden…


Saw the sunflower above on my way through Lübeck a week ago or so. Since I take photos with my smart phone and since I blog, I can´t really pass by if I see a flower. In my opinion, flowers are really amazing. Even as an amateur photographer like me, you can create great photos. All you need is a good smart phone and some flowers, really.

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
