Flower Photography

So I was just browsing thru my pictures on my computer out of boredom and came across my Flower file. I went thru a phase where I was always taking pictures of flowers. They seemed like good subjects, and I loved trying to get the flower to focus but the background to be out of focus. Anyways I never thought I was ever good... and still don't, but I was amazed at how good some of these turned out. I figured since there hasn't been much excitement in my life lately (hence the lack of postings), I would do a post with some of the flower pictures. So here it goes...

This first set are the flowers in our backyard.

This one was taken a few weeks ago when it snowed last. This ultimately killed these flowers which I had planted last spring. I am still a bit sore about that.

These next pictures were taken on Canyon drives, vacations, etc...
