Valentine's Day: The day after

Piled-up, a carpet of flowers left unbought after the Valentine's Day. Very unlikely, most of them won't survive until the Dragobete Day next week.

Pink peony

It's the time when those flowers blossom, when the spring is nearing to its end and summer awaits around the corner.

Archive: Roses

It was the time for the roses in the Archive

The Archive is a series of older photos involving some degree of nudity. All the pictures are taken a few years ago, but were not published to the blog (most of them were not published before at all), thus the name of the series.

Unforgettable

This forget-me-not flower picture was testing the macro mode on a new lens. The DOF is not bad for f/8.

Blossom with extra cheese

If a picture with tree blossom is not cheesy enough, one can add the extra cheese from a sunset.

BW blossom

Usually flowers do look better in color but I believe there are a few cases when a black-and-white treatment may be worthwhile.

Counting petals

She is too small to know counting petals on a flower is easier with a daisy than a rose. But she used what it was available.

Hummingbird Hawk-moth

First time when I saw one was a couple years ago and then my reaction was "that's impossible! hummingbirds don't live here... and this is an insect, not a bird!" Now having the opportunity to take some pictures, I documented a bit: yes, is an insect looking like a hummingbird and is obviously called the Hummingbird Hawk-moth or, if you prefer Latin, Macroglossum stellatarum.

Thistle in ths sunrise

I woke-up early in the morning, climbed the hill and waited the sun to rise only to meet a big setback: the sky was completely clear, therefore the sunrise image boring: only a disc of fire behind a distant black wall (another hill). Fortunately, a nearby thistle bush kind of saved the day (some pictures of it are made into desktop wallpapers for my general blog.

Big poppies

Recently I saw the first poppy of the year, now there are plenty of them and some are really big.

Is it summer yet?

Judging by the calendar, is late April, middle of the spring, with the summer still far away, judging by the weather outside with 30°C, it feels like mid-summer. If you ask this poppy flower, it probably thinks summer too.
