I spent a little while last evening photographing the lilies in my garden with the Lensbaby. The Lensbaby has become my very favorite lens for flower photography as I just love the way everything except the “sweet spot” is softly diffused. The fragrance from these flowers was delightful….the mosquito bites I received from my time in the garden, not so much! Below is another Lensbaby lily image with a little bit of texture added.

This afternoon I spent a little while photographing the flowers in my garden. My most favorite, Honeysuckle, is in bloom and the fragrance in the garden is delightful! With the mild winter and lots of rain we’ve had this spring, my flowers are blooming better than ever! The Honeysuckle is starting to fade, so I wanted to snap a few images before it is too late. When I came back in the house, I turned on the computer and visited some of my favorite blogs. I found a beautiful post by my friend, Sam Gray, featuring a Honeysuckle. Check out his post here and be sure to visit his photo blog often – his work is amazing: http://designbysamgray.com/blog/2012/06/09/sweet-smelling-honeysuckle/
Below are some more images of “What’s In Bloom” currently in my garden: Clematis, Daisy and Spirea.

Say hello to “Tom Tom” [Gch Ch Sheeba Mark Twain], a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who I met last weekend at The National Dog Show. Maybe you saw him yesterday on the televised broadcast on NBC as he won his breed and was in the Toy Group competition. This image was taken in the benching area when he was being groomed. Look at those beautiful wavy ears and big brown eyes! I love this breed! Below is a shot of Tom Tom on the blue carpet during the Group judging.
