Is There Anybody Out There?
I haven't been here in a few days. Sorry about that. My schedule was a little funky for a while and I've had some connectivity problems, but I'm back now. I believe we are part way through the BC Interior series. We were speaking of the bed & breakfast...
I know it was my vacation, but I did get up early on two occasions to take some photographs when the light was good. My first early morning photohunt was at the b&b. Our hostess had a beautiful garden and I was excited to go out and explore it with my camera. Okay, I wasn't too excited when my alarm went off at 6:00 am, but I was excited about it when I set my alarm for 6:00am. To be honest, it was with a healthy dose of grumpiness that I dragged myself out of bed, but I knew I had a unique opportunity. How often do you wake up with a beautiful flower garden and a lake right outside your bedroom?
This was one of the photos taken from the garden. I had been looking for a very simple composition, but found it difficult with such colourful surroundings. Eventually I found this flower (I don't know what it is) growing in front of a pine tree. I used my zoom and the widest aperture in order to blur the crap out of the pine tree. I like the simplicity of this composition, and I think the delicate flower looks good too.

It's so good to see a new post on Tim, as I have been checking the site rather anxiously the last few days. Hopefully no further breaks of such an extended nature will follow :) I am glad to have a new photo that I can set as background on my computer (it's not the highest form of praise, but it is the best I can do given the distance!) Looking forward to a brand new week of photos.
Welcome back! This is lovely. The Dof is perfect and I love this color.
Good to hear that all is well, I was wondering where you'd been off to. I love this shot, and especially your photography tech talk! I'll have to put..."blur the crap out of" into my tech talk notebook.
Beautiful, Tim! The DoF is perfect and the sharpness in the flower is dead on. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may be a Pink Cosmos. I took a shot of one in our yard earlier this summer and the inside part of your flower looks very similar:

great in his simplicity!
Not really a flower person, but as usual you have a knack of making me like your flower shots :)
