Looking (straight) down…

Sometimes, using a different angle can result in an interesting picture. Instead of shooting this bouquet from the side, I tried something different. I shot this by looking straight down.

Looking for different angles makes for better photos…sometimes.

Get an overview!

It’s important to take garden overview photos before it’s too late. An overview reminds you of what you planted…and where. It’s helpful for next year as well as being a pleasant memory during the winter when all you can see is snow! In addition to an overview like this one, make sure you get some shots really close to see the best in your plants and flowers. Go out there and get those overviews!

Little Missy … The Flower

Little Missy, the flower, is one of my wife’s favorites. The problem with it has been that it doesn’t bloom that often. A few days ago my wife called to me, “Come see Little Missy!” I knew that that meant bring the camera. I quickly grabbed by iPhone and took this photo. Notice the detail you can get with an iPhone.

Incidentally, the reason why I stress it’s Little Missy, the flower, is because one of our Pugs was named Missy. My wife found the plant shortly after Missy, the Pug, passed away. We have an extra sentimental fondness for this particular flower and am always happy to see it bloom. Missy, the Pug, would have liked it. She liked to smell the flowers in the garden.
