Nice shot !
Thanks! Yes, I kind of miss my " little visitors" at my old place. I'd always give them some nuts. So the picture is like he's saying,Awww, so sweet !!!
"May I have some more please."
Thank you! It was early morning and it had been foggy. I’m not sure how the spider felt about it, but I thought it was a pretty cool effect.
I like the squirrels. I feed them in the winter.
I use a simple Nikon Coolpix S9700 Point and Shoot. Old camera but it still takes nice photos

Photography is not one of my better talents but I enjoy taking amateur photos, does that count? These are from the Botanic Garden in the windy city.

I have always held that the way to improve your photography is by taking pictures. That is one big advantage that digital has over film- it is so much easier to dump any bad shots right away without the cost of buying more film, and paying for processing, so shoot away!

Why does it stump you? Do you mean because the background is dark? That has to do with the depth of field and the settings on the camera. It’s lovely. I’m a plant lover and the Hellebore is a very neat flower! I love the veining!

I don't see anything wrong with the shot of the tulip. If anything, I think the term to use would be 'dramatic'. Now, all you have to do is figure out how you did it, so you can use the technique again.
Nice shot!
I totally agree!
Some of the wild stuff that grows around here.

Same effect in my post #632 shot with flash and small aperture fast shutter speed and #688 natural light with background in the shade, so light at the back did not reach the camera’s sensor.

Nice shots especially the last 5 shots!
Thank you!
The last one is Monk's Hood, which is poisonous even though it's so pretty. I'm not sure what the other flowers are.
I'm stumped because the flower wasn't that far away from the surrounding vegetation so even with a shallow depth of field, I would have expected the foliage in the background to be lighter and to show up more than it does. And it is a shallow depth of field - the barely visible foliage isn't in focus at all. The only thing I can think of is that for some reason the image was underexposed.
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Hellebores and I've never seen them flowering so profusely as they are this spring.
Thank you! Yes, I was very pleasantly surprised. I just hope I CAN figure it out again!
Ah, but that's the thing. The background was in full sun, just like the tulip flower! I'm kicking myself for shooting in automatic mode and not paying attention to the settings!
Ooh, how lovely! Beautiful photos and beautiful wildflowers! The forest must be filled with enchantment these days!
