Send in your photos, as I’m running a bit low!
Today we have a batch of lovely flower photos from Joe Routon. Joe’s captions and IDs are indented.
Early every morning I go on my social-distancing, mask-wearing, camera-carrying walk in our neighborhood in beautiful New Jersey, called the Garden State for a reason. Doing my part to help contain the contagion, it’s the only time I leave my house. All of these were taken on my daily walks.
Foxglove (Digitalis):
Lovely!
Why are purple morning glories so hard to get a good exposure of?
There’s one near me and it’s akwa a challenge. Red is also difficult. That is, what specific lens factors should a buyer look for, to improve beyond, say, an iPhone 6?
Typo : “always”
Ahem… morning glory means something else where I come from – & a purple one?! 😁🤭
Camera flash can help. Or make it worse. It is hard to know in advance, so one must experiment.
Beautiful photography!
Thanks Joe, for injecting some beauty into our lives, to counterbalance the ugliness that seems so stubbornly pervasive. You really have a knack for finding the obscure loveliness in people and nature that the rest of us seem to pass right by or take for granted. Lovely photos!
These flowers, Mr Routon, are utterly welcomed, Sir.
What a darling walk you have for your Self.
The iris is particularly stunning. My first
granddaughter, and after no one but for
her own blooming Self, is aptly named
Ms Iris Genevieve.
Your grandmama ? Tennessee ? 100 exact
years after today, 26 August ? An interestingly
progressive state within the earliest years of
the 20th Century. Yet not at all so much … …
now. Sadly.

So pretty!!
They are lovely Joe.
A joy to see such lovely photos! Thank you!
Those are very nicely done. I really like the delicate play of light and shadows. Especially on the white daisies, which are really challenging.
Beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful!
Wonderful photos; I really like the way you frame them.
Nice photos. I don’t think the daisies are Bellis perennis though. That is the European Lawn Daisy which is a low growing plant found in short turf which grows in rosettes and the flowering stems do not carry leaves in contrast to the ones in your picture. Bellis perennisis naturalised in the US though.
