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.

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!
ReplyDeleteRegisto bem conseguido das lindas flores, tem perfume.
ReplyDeletegreat flowers
ReplyDeleteYou found some lovely flowers! I don't know the names of many either, but I still enjoy them. :-)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the Victor Hugo quote and those photos are beautiful!! have a wonderful weekend Linda!
ReplyDeleteMaybe rhododendron, Linda, but I'm absolutly not sure... ?!
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
I LOVE these beautiful clusters of orange and yellow lilies!!!! And your quotes are so good.
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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! :)
Hello Linda beautiful and relaxing video of the beautiful flowers that you are dreaming of spring, because last snowed in here.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy weekend.

i love the sound of gentle ocean waves. my late grandfather used to live by the sea, and i have fond memories of visiting him and going to bed at night with the soft sound of the waves lulling me to sleep =) your flower shots are beautiful too. i love the vibrant colors, and i think your 'framing' of these shots is perfectly pretty =)
ReplyDeleteYour video makes me relax. And your photos as always, are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous series of orange and yellow flowers!
ReplyDeleteCan't beat the sound of ocean waves....it is so soothing and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
