hot summer night :: nature photograhy

i glanced out my kitchen window a couple days ago and was surprised to see these beauties had bloomed (seemingly overnight). i never planted them. are they a weed? i don't know, but i love them.

what do you do when you get a new macro lens and the flowers haven't bloomed yet?

go to the botanical gardens, of course.

lovely leftover blooms :: macro photography :: nature photography

these blooms were once colorful hydrangeas i believe. but no one cut them for display on a table or in a wedding bouquet. now they are dried up and barely hanging on to their stem. i still think they are lovely though. lovely, leftover blooms.

air plants :: nature photography

i just discovered air plants a few years ago. now, each spring, i eagerly await their arrival (i have to order them because no one in town sells them). well! last weekend these little guys showed up on my front porch and i freed them from their box. i am totally amazed by their beauty and the fact that they simply don't need soil to live & grow.

i soaked them in a bowl of water for a bit and for now they are enjoying a some light on our dining table. soon, i will hang them around in glass spheres or other items.

so, what about you? do you have a green thumb? or do you prefer low maintenance plants like these?
