Lotus, light, lovely early morning photos

The early light is seductive.  Everything has a gentle, soft appearance and is fresh for the new day.  In the present heat, it is one of the few times to photograph in the garden.

The lotus are in abundance in the pond and many other flowers are coming into bloom. The aromatic lilies are incredible.

Enjoy the images.

Rainy Weekend

I love photographing flowers with the soft sunlight or the evening backlighting.  A rainy day, however, provides a different opportunity for snapping images.  The water lilies here were caught with the recent rain, as were the lily pads. There is something very clean and refreshing about the images.

Early Morning flowers.

The morning light and dew on the flowers are magical! Here is pictured the Allium, daisey, and lavender iris. With back lighting, the flowers look elegant.
