Helios-442

Good Day Sunshine

Flat golden yellow flowers with two layers of petals and a honeycomb orange centre are against a cool mauve blue green blackground. The centre one is in focus, and there is an opening bud drooping down to left of centre at the bottom of the frame.

Here is a ray of sunshine to brighten your day, friends. I believe this Heliopsis Helianthoides is known as a false sunflower, but it looks really like a sunny flower to me, nothing false about it. I hope you find some sunshiny moments today, everyone.

I’ve renamed the gallery and the theme to be “A Flower Almost Every Day”, which more accurately represents what I can comfortably manage.

Back to Spring

Three tulips rise from a blurred background with a soft mauve-tinted bokeh. The tulips are pink, not very open, with white highlights and slightly crinkled petals.

Following on from my last post, where I referenced the fact that I had no longer been seeing the beauty around me, here is solid evidence that I was seeing it. And I was photographing it as I found when I went back through my catalogue. I must have just lost focus in the humdrum of the everyday that takes over our lives. So for a Throwback Thursday (not very far back, admittedly) here is a splash of bright spring colour from our garden. Aren’t these delightful? Have a great day, friends.

These are in my Flower a Day gallery (which is not a daily thing, you now realize) which you can see here: https://www.elliekennard.ca/ekgallery/flower-a-day-2024/
