In stepping away to find a
new refreshed creative outlet, I have realized that I will never venture too far away from photographing flowers. It's like having chocolate in the house; when all is quiet there is that soft beckoning voice, "Nicki, come photograph me." (or in the case of chocolate - "girl, you know you want me!") I can only resist one at a time, so as long as I'm posting pictures of flowers, you know I'm avoiding the diet buster,
Monsieur Chocolate. Don't feel too bad for the chocolate; did I mention I have a
teenager walking vacuum in the house. Best diet aid ever!
Well, for one, I'm glad you didn't stay away from the flowers for too long. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI understand the draw to flowers - and yours are so so pretty! I love the variegated features of this one - it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally relate with the endless stomach that is the teenager!
Have a great weekend!
Yours are true words! It's the same thing for me.

Hi Nicki, lovely, bright yellow color ... Such a beautiful composition! And the leaf & model with the thoughts in your former post made me stop and reflect - A lovely way to start the weekend!

Can I just say that I don't mind that you photograph a ton of flowers and share a ton of flowers? As you know from my post yesterday with flowers I love flowers also. They are so wonderful nobody can stay away from them for long :)
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling exactly - I try to find new things to photography besides flowers and birds and then the first bird, or first flower I see sends me into high gear - but I love doing them - so I will continue - even while looking around and trying something else now and then. Great photo!!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate and flowers...no arguing with that! We all need a little (at least) of both.
ReplyDeleteWhen nothing else seems appealing to photograph, flowers are a great subject to find inspiration again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Your photo like it.
ReplyDeleteOh this is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI find flowers often calling my name, as well, however; I do try my best to ignore the beckoning call of the chocolate! lol! Your image is stunning, Nicki! Amazing detail and I really love the texture you've added ... very nice!! Visiting from Floral Love. Have a happy weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Tones are stunning!

I love the macro image and the yellow-white-green colours. Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of this flower! Flowers are my most favourite thing to photograph too and I also have trouble staying away from the chocolate!
