Pink Lilium

My flower share for today is something I know of as "lilium," but I am not sure if I am 100% correct. The family took off most plants in the garden, but since this was planted in a pot, we just had it moved from the garden to our terrace.

There were four flower buds, but only two bloomed first (the other two bloomed this morning), so I just took a picture of one of the flowers. It was late in the afternoon when I took this, so I turned on the flash in taking this picture.

Strawberry Flowers

My share for this week was something really, really, special to me because this was the very first time I got to photograph the flowers of strawberry. I did get to visit the Strawberry Farms in La Trinidad, Benguet some years ago, but that time the way I could capture images was through my cell phone, but sadly, my cell phone's memory was so low that time, and that the farmers weren't really allowing people to go near the plants, so my sister and I could only take pictures from afar.

Last March, we went back there again (exactly three years apart), and nowadays, the farmers were allowing people to go near the farm, but of course no one was allowed to pick fruit unless they were willing to pay p300 per kilo of fruits picked. Sis and I were able to get near... but since we weren't going to pick fruits, we just got contented taking pictures.

There were quite a lot of fruits / flowers that time, and really, I even if we weren't experienced what was it like to pick fruits, taking the pictures was something I'd hold dear in my heart.

In Monochrome

My share this week was something I took a few weeks ago. I read in some articles that my camera model can take very close pictures, so I tried it for this flower. A lot of people know this flower is a very small one, so getting an up close picture of it while maintaining the sharpness will be quite difficult. I guess my camera was able to handle it well.

By the way.. do you know the name of this flower?

My mom loves planting in our front yard garden. Most of her choice of plants don't really give flowers (she chose it because of their pretty leaves), so when a few of the plants bloom, I really take the time to photograph them.

One of the flowering plants I love is this one. I don't know its name, but purple is my favorite color, and I do love that it has lots of flowers in one bunch. I initially took this picture a year ago, and processed it just now in GIMP.

Here's another look of the flower - I used two rocks as a prop... sort of an "in memoriam" picture.

Happy weekends all!
