Garden flowers 1

OK, this is known as sheer desperation! The sun was supposed to finally shine today after days and days of grey, snowy weather - but, nothing! So, I went to Safeway and bought myself a bunch of flowers (yellowy white - the brightly coloured bunches were twice as expensive!) along with the milk, bread and chocolate bar (for sure, comfort food!). Lots to learn about photographing flowers indoors! Had some problem getting enough light on these pale flowers and ended up holding one over a table lamp (I now have one singed flower!). They shine on my computer screen - hope they do on yours, otherwise they will be rather lifeless. And now I am going to go for yet another cold, dull, grey walk. Did buy half a dozen Hot Cross buns the other day so, in theory, Easter and spring are not far away. Yeah!

Wow - almost blinded myself with such bright colour after so many dull grey days recently! Yes, I bought myself another small bouquet of flowers to enjoy. If I'm correct, this is a Gerbera Daisy.

So many shades of colour, so many patterns.

A final three photos taken of the bunch of vivid orange Gerbera Daisies that I bought recently.
