A Photographer with no garden to take flower photographs? No Problem!

Dahlia by Carol Eliassen

I posted this on my other blog, but it fits perfectly with this one as well! 

If someone loves to photograph flowers but doesn't have access to a garden or lives in an apartment, there are several great options to consider:

1. Public Parks: Many cities have parks with beautiful flower gardens. These are often well-maintained and provide a variety of flowers to photograph.

2. Botanical Gardens: Visiting a local botanical garden can be a fantastic option. These gardens typically feature a wide range of plant species, including many types of flowers, and are designed for public enjoyment.

3. Flower Markets: Local flower markets or farmers' markets often have vibrant displays of flowers. These can provide excellent opportunities for close-up photography.

4. Nature Reserves: Many nature reserves have wildflowers and native plants. These areas can offer a more natural setting for flower photography.

5. Community Gardens: Some neighborhoods have community gardens where residents grow flowers and vegetables. These can be great places to take photos and often welcome visitors.

6. Urban Areas: Look for flower beds in urban settings, such as along sidewalks, in plazas, or on rooftops. Many cities plant flowers in public spaces to enhance the environment.

7. Flower Festivals: Check for local flower festivals or events, which often showcase a variety of flowers and provide a festive atmosphere for photography.

8. Friends' or Family Gardens: If you know someone with a garden, ask if you can come over to take some photos. This can also be a nice way to spend time with loved ones.

By exploring these options, a flower photography enthusiast can find plenty of beautiful subjects to capture, even without a personal garden.

Save the Bees!

  Bee painting My daughter painted the Bee with acrylic paints, and we used it for our "Save the Bees" poster. We love Bees because we need them for pollination, especially my fruit trees. I try to set out different plants that bloom from early spring to late fall in order to attract them, as well as the hummingbirds! 

Shasta Daisies

  Shasta Daisy I just love the perennial Shasta Daisies that bloom continuously in the summer and come back every year! They grow larger than some of the other varieties and seem so healthy and vibrant when surrounded by some of the other colorful flowers in the garden. I read that they are a hybrid developed as far back as 1890! I think they are very graceful and love the bright white coming off of the center which is a beautiful yellow color, not quite mustard yellow, but close!
