“Favorite Backyard Floral Images for 2007″
This is my favorite 5 floral shots from my backyard or my neighbors yard in some instances..
The first one is a geranium that was shot at a very shallow depth of field to get this effect…
The next one is a dahlia that I shot as an abstract and converted to B&W to give it an artistic feel…
The third one is a abstract shot of just the leaf of a Asiatic Lily….
The fourth one is a Purple Coneflower, one of my favorite flowers to photograph…
And finally my favorite flower shot from last year was this Iris Macro shot, I loved the detail in the tongue and the color was so vibrant.
Well these are my five favorites from last year hope you have enjoyed taking a look.












Great photos, great choices! I can’t decide which I like the best.
You chose well – they are all beautiful! The colors and details in the Iris make it my favorite.
Beautiful photos, especially the Asiatic Lily & Coneflower!
great collection. well done
Wonderful techniques. I need to start expirimenting this way. Beautiful!!
I love them all but that Asiatic lily just blew me away when you first did it. I’m still stuck on that one…
I love coneflowers too, but the Lily is a wonder. All are great photos and inspirational, too.
I love the b/w dahlia…Lovely.
That red flower macro is really abstract and I love it. unique compositions. looks like you had a productive year Bernie!
wonderful series of photos here! Bravo
Hi Bernie,
Very cool blog, your flower pictures are very soothing and serene. I really like how they are cropped quite close. This really accentuates their form and curves…very nice.
I found you through Mon@rch’s nature blog. I’ve added you to my reader and am looking forward to your future posts.

I’ve always loved that dahlia. It’s phenomenal.
They’re all great. Love the Purple Cornflower.
Consistently excellent.

Bernie I’m watching my yard!:) Beware of Dog!!!:)
Great shots Bernie. Reflecting back on the previous year is nice when you have worked as hard as you have. Great job and thanks for the great images.
I absolutely love the geranium. The softness and color are very beautiful.
very lovely pictures and a great blog!
I refuse to choose, Bernie. I’ll take ‘em all.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with for Spring ’08.
The S curve in the lily catches my eye – but they’re all great.
It’s funny that I’m normally not into abstract shots but the Asiatic Lily really caught my attention. I think you caught the curve in this one perfectly.
Thanks for all the comments and stopping by !!
That geranium pink is something else!
The detail on the Iris tongue is exceptional. I love it!
