So I finally broke down and got myself a smartphone – what a useful piece of equipment (fun toy) it is! It has a pretty good camera that I’ve been learning to use, and because it’s May, I have a plethora of beautiful plants in my garden flowering, growing fresh new foliage, and generally putting on a decadent display. So here is a post chock full of new garden pictures, taken with my new camera.
Gold Laced Primula
Orange lily-flowered tulips
Cornus canadensis – bunchberry
Rhododendron ‘Lem’s Monarch’
Rhododendron ‘Fantastica’
Tree Peony ‘Shima Nishiki” This is its first blossom – I planted it three years ago! Hopefully it will develop the white variegation it’s supposed to have in time.
Allium ‘Purple Sensation’
Unfurling fern
Purple Columbine and friend
I hope this new camera will help me improve my photography. My strategy has always been to take gallons of shots – something’s bound to turn out okay! Thank goodness for digital cameras. It’s one thing to know about plants, grow and write about them, and another to take good pictures of my new garden!
beautiful!
Thanks!
You are off to a good start with your new camera – the shots are stunning! Everything is so sharp and clear!
Those photos look great! Who knew a phone could take such good pictures. Oh, and your flowers are pretty too – love that tree peony!
Thanks Spurge,
My new smartphone is much smarter than I!
