Yesterday morning it was cold and the everything that was out in the open was covered in frost.

I took many pictures of the flowers in my front yard during the summer and it was interesting to take pictures of the remaining flowers covered in frost this late in the fall.

I felt sorry for the hummingbird that stopped at my empty and frozen hummingbird feeder. After the bird left, I took the feeder in, washed it in warm water and filled it back up with syrup. I waited for the hummingbird to come back that day, but it never did.

I was browsing through a favorite site yesterday (where I download pictures for my desktop) and couldn’t help thinking how talented those people were who uploaded their pictures to the site.

This morning as I took the pictures of the daisies, still with droplets of rain on them, I was mindful of the different angles that I could use that would best present the daisies.

I wished I had a better camera that could take better quality macro pictures of the daisies!

I love to take pictures of plants, and flowers in particular. Beautiful flowers (as well as shiny and sparkly stuff!) appeal to the feminine side of my being.

I love the “glow” on the orchid which comes from the light behind. I should pay attention to such detail the next time I take pictures such as this.
