Our purple bearded irises finally bloomed this year.

Rose losing its color at the end of life. I just moved and am very happy to be posting again. Peace to everyone.

Red is typically a difficult color to shoot for me. But the incredibly rich color of this complex and beautiful rose speaks loudly for itself.

Trying to capture the intricacy of the stamens and show the transparency of the petals.

Extremely hot orange flower with high amount of detail. Reminds me of a Fall sunrise.

Attempting to prioritize detail with the center of the flower. At the same time I was looking to bring out soft but detailed background grass. Nikon Macro Lens.

These flowers remind me of sea anemones.

The color of this flower was more white than pictured. A little green light from the front gives it more of a "minty," color.

Frozen bouquet flower. This was not the most attractive bloom so I froze it to give it some interest.

My life

You electrify my life

Let's conspire to ignite

All the souls that would die just to feel alive

Now I'll never let you go

If you promised not to fade away

Never fade away

Looking down a red and cream flower. Inside is comprised of almost translucent yellow rows of leaves that will never see the light of day.
