I’m a huge fan of soft focus flowers and I love my Lensbaby Velvet 56 for flower photography! Today I found this Winky Blue and White Columbine at the Garden Center and just had to bring it home. Columbine is one of my most favorite flowers! Hopefully this little flower will find a new home in my garden for years to come!

I don’t remember flowers blooming in October when I was a kid. I don’t even remember buying Fall mums to decorate our porch. Once Labor Day arrived, summer was officially over! But these days summer weather continues and our gardens are still colorful well into Fall. I will hang on to every last ounce of that for as long as I can. Here’s a beautiful Dahlia photographed with the Lensbaby Velvet 56.

I love seeing all of the water droplets on plants and flowers … and in this case the fuzzy ends of decorative grasses … after a rainstorm. Mother Nature creates art all around us. We just have to keep our eyes open and be looking for it!

I love the curve of this Speedwell and the gradual variation in the amount of bloom from one end to the other. The new flower bursting forth from the leaves on the bottom right is a bonus!

It’s a banner year for my clematis. I’m not sure why, but this year it is spectacular with more blooms than I’ve ever had before. Could it be the mild winter, rainy spring and now warm summer? I’m not sure, but this little plant has been the focal point of my front yard for the last few weeks!
