Keukenhof (Part 5)

Not much to write because the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!








There are many sculptures and works of art throughout the park. When asked if I would pose for one I said, "SURE, just use my favorite color"

Finally, there is one standout picture that is my favorite so far, which is surprising since it is white and not a bright brilliant color which I'm drawn too. To take this shot I put my camera near the ground close to the roots of the flower and directed the lens to the sky. I love that the sun is behind the flower causing the petals to be translucent. Who said shooting into the sun is bad?! What a great shot if I do say so myself!

I have many other close up shots of flowers but too many to post. If you are interested is seeing the rest let me know and I will send you a link once I upload to Snapfish.

I love that sculpture! Speaks to the true shape of a woman I like it when art is more honest like that

and I love the orange in the fifth pic down. I think that is my favorite color exactly.

Leslie!
What a talented photographer you are. I look at some of these pictures and think....."how could we use that on a book cover!!!" I have been put in chatrge of googling artwork for book covers and your artwork is so georgus! I love the daffodil in the sun. Very beautiful! I'll keep you in mind...right now I am looking for artwork for the title Highwayman of Tanglewood. Found a very unique picture that I will have to e-mail you and show you...
Thanks for letting us share your talents...
