Oh lucky you two – lilies in the house :) Great shots Vlad!
They were for Johna’s birthday… but I put them to immediate dual use :-)
Lucky us then! Happy un-birthday Johna :)
Very Nice :-)
Thank you!
wicked colour detail and no kayak’s :D
Getting kayaks into those pictures proved to be too difficult…
lol
Beautiful pictures. I am so tempted to save the second pic on my desktop and use it as a background! :)
Go right ahead!
Thank you!!
Beautiful golden-yellow on display. Nicely done.
Thank you!
My mom’s name – and as beautiful as she is, even at 90 . :-)
A golden name, and flower… :-)
LOVE > LOVE > LOVE These beautiful pictures.
I love your enthusiasm!! :D
Only say the truth or nothing Mr.Yellow jacket..I sense a theme..
:-)
What beautiful Flowers and Photographs of them!
Thank you, Iris! (another flower name… :-) )
Beautiful images, Vlad — you inspired me — I have two lily shots to share.
I look forward to seeing them, Frank!
I love the composition on these – they turned out wonderfully!
Nancy
I usually have trouble with cut flowers in vases, but I think these did turn out well… :-)
That certainly brings a bit of summer into the house!
Yes, it does :-)
So beautiful! Your first image, in particular, makes me think of a Georgia O’Keeffe painting. Love it!
Thanks!! Yes, Georgia O’Keeffe did come to mind, somehow… :-)
Beautiful. My favorites are the first and the last.
Thank you!!
These are are absolutely stunning!
Thanks, Greg!
The yellow flower against the black makes for a good photo!
That’s what I thought… :-)
What spectacular shots!
Thanks so much!!
Great shots! What lens are you using?
These were taken with a Nikon D80 with the 55-300mm f/4.5 lens, most of the time zoomed out to almost 300mm, I seem to recall.
