A photo of some blue coloured flowers. I neglected to ask the gardener exactly what they are; as they were in a hurry to leave. Shot from about the only angle that gave the photo an acceptable background. I really didn't feel like moving the heavy planter to a more interesting location, or ruining the lawn in the process. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Hi, Wendell...

These look like petunias, but I don't know anything about flowers; so this might be a pineapple begonia.

Beautiful deep blues in the flowered foreground. Wonderful detail and clarity. Excellent contrast. Very good depth of field. Like the blurry background which, by the way, is much better than "acceptable". I really like the textures on the blossoms.

Lovely rich colours, Wendell. They contrast so well with the oranges and greens in the background.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

A perfect angle for me, and looks abstract which is very artistic. Well done.

I can't identify them either, but I love their delicate petals and vibrant colours, as well as the colours in the background! A fine and cheerful capture, Wendell!
