Gentle Waves and Flowers

Hello everyone!  I chose a short, two minute video with only the sounds of ocean waves for this post!  Enjoy!

I think that I am more accustomed to and more comfortable taking photos that involve animals and birds.  I have been taking some photos of flowers and will share a few with you here.  As well, I often have no idea what the names of the flowers are that I photograph...and these are no exception.  I took these photos yesterday during my walk in a nature park.  Hope you all enjoy them.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.

Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  1. Hi Linda -- my first visit and here I am with my second cup of coffee, so your header invitation was perfect for me! Beautiful flowers; I think they must be some kind of azalea, but I'm not very good at IDs either. Enough to know that they're beautiful though!

  4. I played the waves video while having lunch at school. Your flowers look wonderful. They look like an azalea type flower but I am not the expert on them.

  8. We have spent many happy moments at spots along the ocean listening to the water wash up on shore and then recede again...the rhythm of the sea can be very calming.

    You have captured some beautiful floral shots. Like you, however, I am generally unable to name whatever it is I'm shooting - well, except for a rose. A rose is a rose is a rose and I knows a rose when I sees it! :)

  13. Can't beat the sound of ocean waves....it is so soothing and relaxing.
    Those flowers are Azalias.....deciduous ones from the rhododendron family. There are beautiful and are usually one of the first spring flowers to show their faces. Great photos Linda.
