Spring Flowers

May 26, 2015 by Barb 23 Comments

It’s a good thing my friend asked me to go for a walk last week, or I may have missed these Marsh Marigolds entirely. There’s one spot in the ditch where these flowers flourish … technically its a mini swamp. A mosquito-infested mini swamp … ask me how I know … .

Quite honestly I think my head may explode … there are so many flowers starting to bloom right now and I can’t keep up. It’s like a parade on fast-forward.

So of course I had to have a bit of a play in Lightroom …

    What a sweet little vase to put these cute things into! I love how you’ve arranged them in the last two images..like a botanical print…all of the presets are truly beautiful! A pretty print series, as always.

    I always wondered what these were actually called, because here, we just call them buttercups, and I have an entire field full of them right now. They really are so beautiful, and I love the photographs you made here.

    Have a wonderful week!

    These are all so cheery, in all the shades of yellow. I do love the little white vase in the first image — so sweet and simple.

    I don’t think I have seen these flowers before, I love yellow especially a pale one. Now the mosquitos I could do without. This morning I have read about Black Flies and also on your blog about mosquitos, a insect morning of two I could be without in my lifetime. As well as scorpions in my neck of the woods.

    Such a cool plant, so interesting and different. Sometimes the wild ones are the best. Such beauty in your photos.

    Your images of Marsh Marigolds are wonderful. The first image is my favourite.

    Each early spring I anxiously look for the marsh marigolds along the walk I take nearly every day….I am always worried that they will disappear but they have never disappointed me. I have never taken such beautiful photos of them though! These are stunning!
