(Artistic Nature Photos)

Playing with light Moved to a new home last year,,, this is the first time in many years I have a place outside my door to play with flowers and photos. On moonless nights I grab a flashlight and head out to the new flower beds,,, better than playing in traffic I suppose.

I used a very small penlight to catch this bloom,,, took about twenty shots to get one that worked

I really do not know the name of this, the local that gave me a plant this spring just called it "orange bell flower",,, works for me

this Oleander is much more appealing in the evening,,, the full light of day renders it bland and without character

these are awesome. great idea for night shots with a real nice effect. especially like the two rose shots and the daffodil.
