Flowers, my favorites

Taken during a rain shower. The blooms don't last very long, and I usually miss the fresh full bloom before they begin to shrivel up.

Early spring in our flower garden. Just after a rain shower as the flowers lay. The rain had weighted down the Lilac bush next to the flower patch, and everything just mingled together naturally.

A macro image of my Hibiscus at sunrise looking into the sun. Water droplets left over from early morning dew.

Just before this Day Lily closed before the end of the day. The conditions were a sun filtered sky, that helped to soften the image and colors.

I captured this image as I was walking through a parking lot, and noticed a large public flower bed. Even before I shot my first image, I already knew what the title would be. Nothing says beautiful but natures own bouquet.

Pink Peonies blooming along side my house. I thought the title was fitting as the two blooms were intertwined!

Bee in flight from one flower petal to another. Didn'r notice the other little creature nestled in the flowers until I was viewing this frame later. All my attention at the time was on the bee in flight! Very popular Illinois Prairie flower.

The day before they opened. Light rain falling at the time of the photo. These turned into "Morning Blooms" the next morning.
