That's where a suit-of-armour comes in handy...

Recovered some old pics from back in the 90's, one here, 2 in the reflection thread.

Juniper Berries

**WereBo** · 10-13-2011, 12:04 PM

WOW! That's a superb quality pic Acuta, so much so that Mrs WereBo wanted to pick them for her gin....

**zuluclayman** · 10-13-2011, 05:14 PM

love the juniper berries Acuta - such great colours in them

here's a humble tomato flower - tiny and often overlooked, many vegetables have nice flowers

**WereBo** · 10-13-2011, 06:35 PM

I don't think there is such a thing as a humble flower, they're all beautiful in their own unique way

A beautifully composed shot Zulu, from the pin-sharp detail to the fuzzy DoF, I love it for it's simplicity

You can almost small the musky aroma of the plant. It will make me look closer at vegi flowers!

some more from the garden:

a succulent's flower:

daisy:

**WereBo** · 10-15-2011, 04:38 AM

I love the quality of detail of the succulent, but it's a pity it's a bit lost against the background, a little bit of cropping would cure that nicley

The daisy is beautiful, from the pastel-shading to the vivid deep colouring of the centre - Slightly increasing the DoF would get the petals in pin-sharp focus.

Both are excellent pics though

Onion (I didn't know they flowered either)

yustr · 10-15-2011, 05:05 AM

Rose

I may have posted this elsewhere - sorry. I guess I like flowers just budding as much as in full bloom.

yustr · 10-15-2011, 05:07 AM

One more on my budding theme

Rose of Sharon

Again sorry if this is a repost.

**WereBo** · 10-15-2011, 05:22 AM

Superb quality pics yustr, especially the way you caught the transparent covering on the onion - They have beautiful flowers when they open, something like this but more ball-shaped...

The roses are also lovely, I also like flower-buds, I think for the promise of what's to come grin:

DonaldG · 10-15-2011, 01:12 PM

Hey Guys, some great photos ... All...

**Done_Fishin** · 10-16-2011, 04:36 AM

Bougainvillea

Couldn't find any thorns

**Done_Fishin** · 10-16-2011, 05:41 AM

Anyone any ideas what this might be ???

**WereBo** · 10-16-2011, 06:35 AM

To be honest, I haven't the faintest idea; I've never seen anything like 'em before, but they're intriguing, along with very well framed and exposed

**Done_Fishin** · 10-16-2011, 08:21 AM

I saw it my brother & I were out walking .. reminds me a little of the bougainvillea but these are like fingers .. never seen them before .. might have to go knock on the door and ask

**zuluclayman** · 10-26-2011, 06:28 PM

the humble tomato flower of my previous post has turned nicely into mini truss tomatoes

here's a cucumber flower that will hopefully turn into a delicious lebanese cucumber

**WereBo** · 10-27-2011, 01:07 AM

Lovely crisp shots Zulu, the DoF is spot-on for both foreground and background - It's amazing just how hairy some plants are

I looked out my window yesterday morning and saw my supposed 'Christmas Cactus' had lost track of time.....

Oh, it doesn't always live so dangerously, perched on the balcony-rail, I only put it there temporarily so I could get the sunlight on it for photographing....

**zuluclayman** · 10-27-2011, 01:58 AM

ah - never heard it called 'Christmas Cactus' before - I have lots of them in my backyard in pots - inherited from an uncle of my brother-in-law - look good when all in flower like that - nice pics WereBo!
