Dance of the bluebells

Dance of the bluebells
Bluebells are a delightful little flower and when I see them in drifts in a blue haze they are stunning. Here is a close-up of a few of the flower heads after they have burst from their bell shape. These are in fact our garden 'Spanish Bluebells', a more hardy version than our native British ones. I liked this as they reminded me of dainty ballet dancers.

Enjoy full screen.

I love impressionistic painterly effect you have achieved here, Herb. This image is a symphony in mauve. I hope you are having a fantastic Sunday. All the best, Joe

They are stunning to the eye when you see them in a blue haze, which you describe beautifully Herb, but it often doesn't transfer so well in photos. The close up you show us is gorgeous and the best way to show them in my opinion.

Happy sunny Sunday, Rosa.

Cheers , great that you enjoyed this so. As you know Rosa, I don't do many flowers and things like this but I did enjoy my little session in the garden. I have some extension tubes too, so might try to get some even closer macro shots whilst it is bright outside.

Enjoy the sunny week. Herb

This is really gorgeous Herb..................and it's very nice to see you getting a bit "arty" with your flower shots.

I love the hazy look to this image............and the soft colour palette is spot on! Great composition too!

10/10

Ah yes, this does look arty I know which ties in with my water colours that often have a similar look. 10/10 is a great score that says it all my friend. Thanks.

Enjoy the sunny week. Herb

another close-up with this lens at the same time as I did the bee. I might try some macro next using this lens and some extension tubes that I have never used.

Best. Herb

A very artistic presentation Herb I've got Spanish ones in the Garden iy wouldn't be as bad if they didn't cross with the proper English ones

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter Castell club
I see your point Peter. We don't have any English ones in our garden or near but I have heard it can be a problem. Glad you liked the pic anyway.

Cheers. Herb
