Bud
Rambling Wild Beauty
These delicate white flowers are a version of a Wild Rose. This plant was found on a hike through the woods of northwest Missouri. Don’t you love the pink bud?

Delicate Folds
With its delicate petals and varied shading of soothing colors, it is easy to see why the rose if one of our most loved flowers.
I found this, and many other roses, at the West of the Lake Gardens in Two Rivers, WI. The greatest challenge with this shot was the bright daylight. Trying to capture the subtle shading amidst the brightly lit areas and the strongly shaded areas took some post processing software magic.

Rose Futures
My wife’s little rosebush has been very prolific this year. Look closely. There’s a tiny spider waiting for this cluster of buds to bloom.

Poppy Buds
Another image from the flowerbed. This is a healthy a patch of poppy buds. They are probably still a week or so away from blooming.

Poppy Progression
Poppies are some of my favorites. The colors are always vibrant, the multi-layer petals are interesting and the center provides a natural focal point.
This photo shows the poppies in three stages – the pre-bloom bud, the bud just beginning to burst forth, and full, glorious bloom.

Beauty Fades
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
This is one of the first poppies to bloom and fade in our spring garden. I applied a texture to the image. To me, it didn’t seem right to gaze upon its unfiltered demise.
