Probably the best time to photograph these flowers would be in the early morning. Unfortunately, they are located in a place where I go only in the late afternoon. Can't complain too much, as it is not often you can run errands and still get some creative time in. People were wondering what I found so facsinating about these flowers that they take for granted. When I first saw these flowers this spring I did not have a camera with me but the following week I made sure that I did. A couple of weeks later they were all gone and all that was left was leaves. I felt the original photo was too sharp and too harsh, so I softened the image in Photoshop. Thanks for all the comments on my past photos. Hope you like it!
