I enjoy the beauty of flowers and trees, whether they be in their native habitat or in an artificial one. The following images are the best of my first attempts at capturing nature's beauty on film. All were shot from 1994 to 1997 using a Pentax IQ-Zoom 735 point-and-shoot camera.
Hepatica, the first flowers of spring.
Petunias in a '40s vintage wagon.
"Double Delight" roses, before death by black spot.
Shasta daisy.
Sunflowers, with a Monarch butterly.
Gotta love the sky in this one. Sometimes exposure mistakes make nature look better than it looks in reality.
Sunflowers and cosmos, a wonderful combination.
Bloodroot. Difficult to photograph well, but a truly beautiful ephemeral.
Begonias in a wishing well.
Sunflower.
Pansies and snapdragons.
Hibiscus moscheutos or the "hardy hibiscus" with flowers easily 8" across. Stunning!
Verbena.
Sunflower.
Columbine.
Mallow. Lavatera trimestris
"Moonglow" sunflowers.
Begonias, roses and border carnations.
Icelanding poppies, among other flowers.
