Anyone else photograph wildflowers?

tropicdiver · 01-18-2005, 05:25 PM

Some great photos, thanks for sharing. I plan on doing so in about another 2 months in the Hill Country area of Texas during wildflower bloom.

Fly · 01-18-2005, 05:31 PM

jaded · 01-19-2005, 03:15 PM

bernadette · 01-19-2005, 07:40 PM

we live on a fantastic planet.
all these petaled beauties just waiting for us to pause & take notice.

thanks for sharing what you've stopped to appreciate, StanT.

zeroeffect · 01-20-2005, 06:51 PM

Ok, so it's not really a wild flower, but I took this outside of Notre Dame this past November when I was there with friends. I was surpised to see anything in bloom, yet there was a good dozen or so of these roses in the garden behind the catherdral!

StanT · 03-17-2005, 09:14 PM

A few new ones from my trip to New Zealand

I will be really interested to see what type of photos you pump out in your new environment, tropic

Hey, I am, too. Sure haven't been very thrilled in Dallas with the sunsets to date. Am headed to Hill Country this next coming weekend, if the weather cooperates and the sun is shining. Got to have some good lite to bring out the colors of those blooms. Been reading about the blooms and they have started. I may be a week or so early, but I need to make up for all those lost beach runs of mine and don't want to wait any longer. Am going back to Florida the last weekend of April for the big Air and Sea Show on Fort Lauderdale Beach and then on over to the west coast to see the Family and get at least a day on Sanibel.

pinkie · 03-19-2005, 05:32 PM

O M G!!!!!!!

Those are so gorgeous I think I just creamed my jeans!

mlrd · 03-21-2005, 10:53 AM

Wow. Beautiful shots, everyone.

I've always been fond of flowers growing in harsh conditions (cold climates, high altitudes or latitudes). Hard to describe what it is really, but there's something delicate in their beauty as opposed to the almost aggressive beauty of, say, tropical flowers. Not that there's anything wrong with those, it's just so different.

Bluebells, Finnish Lapland, lake Inari:

Jackebear · 03-21-2005, 08:54 PM

Nice shots. I went to an photography show a couple weeks back and it was all flowers. Holy Moly, some of them were pure art. I bought 2 pics and decided to try my hand at taking some flower pics. I will post them when I get them on my computer.

Well done, some of those are worth printing and framing.

jujueye · 03-21-2005, 11:19 PM

Beautiful work. Geez, StanT...I mean, GEEZ! Beautiful! And I think the first bluebell by mlrd is amazing, too. I gotta get back out and shoot!

LewisCouch · 03-22-2005, 09:57 AM

Here's a photo of a wildflower that grows in abundance in my backyard. It's called Trillium.

StanT · 03-23-2005, 08:00 AM

Still working my way through the New Zealand pictures.

kurty[B] · 03-23-2005, 08:51 AM

Great pictures everyone!

Stan, where did you take the Columbine picture, and the beargr1 picture? Those are beautiful.

Here is my contribution.

StanT · 03-23-2005, 09:37 AM

The beargrass picture was taken in Glacier National Park, Montana a few years ago. The columbine was taken in my backyard near Boulder, CO.

harry · 03-24-2005, 07:56 AM

Guess which of these is called 'Angry Huntsman':

tropicdiver · 03-27-2005, 08:13 AM

Not many blooms out, yet, in Hill Country. Perhaps in another couple of weekends.

harry · 03-27-2005, 12:03 PM

Give me all your lupines!

Grasshopper Green · 03-27-2005, 12:37 PM

Great shots, everyone! I love wildflowers, just not terribly handy with a camera I guess. Hubby has some wonderful black and whites that would look good in this collection but alas, we have no scanner. Great thread!!!

Shpoop · 03-28-2005, 03:11 PM

thats an awesome little plant harry...the one that looks like a brittle star with a thousand legs. Really cool looking. Good photo too

tropicdiver · 04-13-2005, 09:00 PM

A couple of weeks back, I drove 18 hours in Hill Country looking for wildflower and it was pretty much a bust. I found this hill of bluebonnets a whole 5 minutes from where I'm staying, today. I just couldn't believe it.

cellophanedeity · 04-13-2005, 09:07 PM

LewisCouch, trilium is the provincial flower of Ontario!

Just some info!

paddyjoe · 04-14-2005, 03:31 AM

Beautiful thread, StanT. And some sweet blooms from everyone. Damn I love Spring being in the air.

Here's a couple from my hood:

These are all over the ground now:

And this is a tree. Witchhazel I believe:

tropicdiver · 04-18-2005, 03:09 PM

Drove down to Ennis for the Wildflower Festival this past weekend. Not sure about a festival that doesn't serve beer, but at least there were some nice colors around the countryside.

tropicdiver · 04-18-2005, 03:13 PM

A couple more photos from the Ennis countryside.

tropicdiver · 04-18-2005, 03:15 PM

This was one of my more favorite finds out in the countryside.

tropicdiver · 04-18-2005, 03:18 PM

Here's a field of yellow.

Shpoop · 04-18-2005, 04:32 PM

Knew you'd find some good photo ops, tropic.

Still not as good as south Florida, which I'll be there at the end of this month for the air show on Fort Lauderdale Beach, as well spend some time over on the Lee Island Coast taking photos and visiting with family. Hope to get some sunrise and sunset photos, again.

StanT · 04-18-2005, 07:12 PM

First sign of spring up in the mountains

buddle · 04-19-2005, 06:42 AM

Nice mate, especially number 4 and the last one!

That shot takes my breath away. Simly amazing!

Nancy · 04-21-2005, 12:40 AM

Amazing shot! Your best so far IMO!!

cJoe · 04-22-2005, 02:13 PM

Those are some great shots. Sure gave me some inspiration to shoot some flowers. Thanks

Thistles are wildflowers, right?
