Glorious Roses!

Aug14

This selection of gorgeous roses is from our friend Angie in Devon, England. It amazes me that one place on earth could have such stunning roses! She uses just her cell phone for the photos and then lets me ‘tweak’ them! I have many more roses to post in the future as they are a never ending beauty that she continually captures for us!

I love this! Looks like some artfully done photo but this is how it came to us. In this case though I could have brought out the background leaves, I thought this should be left ‘as is’

What can be said? Perfect rose with some drops of rain on it….stunning!

This is another favorite of mine. This one looks like it was meant to be painted!

I went ‘wow’ when I saw this. Two stunning roses! I can only imagine how gorgeous in person.

I hope you have enjoy these as much as I do!

Floral Fantasy

Jun7

These assorted florals come to us once again from our friend Angie in Devon, England! I have never seen so many gorgeous flowers coming from one place. Angie lives on the coast of Devon. Wow….love it! There are many more flowers that I have that were sent to us by Angie and I will continue to share them and other photos from her and from us in the coming weeks and months.

I tweaked this one a bit to give it a slightly different look than the original

I love the intense color of these

This assortment is my favorite due to the colors and types

Another bright colorful photo. I really love all the types and colors

And finally, who can not love the beauty of a simple rose?

It’s Tulip Time!

Apr24

While it may not quite be tulip time here where I live, it definitely was in Devon, England recently. Our thanks to Angie for the use of her cheerful and colorful tulip photos! I didn’t grow up a fan of tulips but in my later years have come to appreciate their beauty, their early arrival and their different shapes and colors!

Love the little bit of contrasting color on this lone beauty and the contrasting colors of the surrounding flowers

These particular ones are my favorites for shape and color

Our final beauty is so cheerful and colorful as the colors are mixed.

Impressions of a Garden

Feb27

I always wanted to draw and paint. However the gift was not for me to have. Through the use of free photo editing programs, once in awhile I can ‘create’….perhaps still not what I envision but sometimes something besides the actual photograph. The original photos came to me from my friend Angie in Devon, England who graciously allows me to take her photos and create something out of them. Anyway, hope you like the colors etc 🙂

I am not a huge art fan but love VanGogh and Monet. When I received these photos I thought of Monet!

I don’t know what these are but they are huge! I would not mind seeing this in person

Ah the beauty of the iPhone…it’s always there when you need it! This photo was taken by my friend in front of the house in Wisconsin. Such beautiful flowers…hope you enjoy!

These are absolutely gorgeous and I love the closeup…photos are sometimes the best way to see detail on such gorgeous flowers

Single Pink Thistle

Aug17

Okay, most consider these weeds but this thistle is the national flower of Scotland…growing in Wisconsin! I think they are pretty! This closeup showed me for the first time how wicked the thorns are. This photo was taken by my friend with an iPhone.

Simple Beauty…

I really like this photo of a flower I took, it is actually my favorite one. This was taken with of all things the camera in my cell phone! I liked the detail of the flower with the drops of water on it.

A Farewell To Summer Flowers

Sep14

Well, it’s that time of year in Wisconsin. Time to say goodbye to summer and the beautiful flowers here. This means though that we look forward to the beauty of the fall leaves!
