Thanks, Tiffany. It’s nice the tulip has that pastel pink. Most of the flowers we get that are supposed to be a light, pastel pink end up more orange from our alkaline soil and water.
The composition of that first shot is really striking! The vertical stripes of different colors in the background really complement the frond in the foreground well. My eye was directed down along the grind and I really wanted there to be something small at the bottom to hold my attention there, but it still worked well!
Hi Tim, beautiful purples and pinks, and I agree with Animalcouriers, I like the look through the gauze/shade cloth, very delicate and pretty. I don’t have any pinks (no purples either), everything is orange, coral or red, odd how that happened.
Hi Mia. The gauze is the screen in our bedroom window. We watch Venus rise over the Sandias with the vine and flowers in the foreground when we get up at 5:30 on weekday mornings.

Wow! You certainly have a way with the pinks! Lovely photos!

“Frond” not “grind”, stupid auto correct…
Photo number five is very nice 🙂
Thanks, Harry!
The shot through the gauze is a great composition.
Thanks, Couriers.
Amazing captures! There is nothing like nature, is there? Just viewing these photos, I can nearly smell the flowers and feel the breeze. How relaxing!
Thanks, Holly. On smelling the flowers, it’s so dry out here, the flowers have little scent. We go for the colors.
Hadn’t even considered that! Well still, the colors are spectacular all their own 🙂
We have a few roses that have pretty strong scents even in the dryness. They must be almost overwhelming in a humid climate.
Beautiful photos! It is great to see spring is finally here!
Thanks, Alchemist.
Beautiful!
Reblogged this on M o o r e z a r t.

How magical!
Oooooooo so pretty!
Thanks, Nancy!
I love the vine seen through the shading too.
Thanks, Susan!
That first shot is superb Tim .. is that wisteria?
Hi Julia. That is wisteria. Sadly, our wisteria got frozen by a frost we got the other night.
Shame – we have a couple of plants and neither of them like flowering much!
Our’s will put on lots of flowers if they don’t get frozen.
