This is another photograph in my series of  flowers photographed as portraits with custom backgrounds designed to highlight what I see as the personality of the flowers. When I saw these amazing carnations at the store, they reminded me of so many strong women I know – happy to shine, let people know they are here, and not afraid to share their views. So of course, such a strong woman, would insist on a brightly colored background in colors as vibrant as her personality.

Spring in the Gardens

Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by type of flower – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific type of flower.

So –  here are some of the wonderful spring flowers and scenes I’ve photographed at various gardens over the years
