This is a blog of my photography. The PotD will be updated daily. I shoot around the Chicago area, in the city and out in the state parks in the northern part of the state, and all around the suburbs. You can click to enlarge any photograph, and requests for prints and wallpapers are welcome. My photos are stored over on Flickr too.

2 Flower Close-ups
Two PotDs today -- a couple of my favorite flower shots of the year. The first is a fiery zinnia called a "Show and Tell", and the second is inside a lisianthus. They were taken in late August at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I love the contrast between the two; the coolness versus the heat, the circle patterns versus the flowing tendrils, the pale green versus the zesty orange.

I think the second one is probably one of my faves that you've taken, ever.

Hunh, my reply never showed up. Let's try again.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love that second one too, and a large part of the reason is that lisianthus itself isn't that interesting a flower; it's just a simply white bell shape. I almost skipped it altogether until I took a peek inside.
