Whoville...

I think of all photos I've taken of morning glories, these are my favorites.  Especially the purple ones.  I don't think I need or want to photograph any more morning glories.  (Or, any more flowers for that matter!)
Of these, my favorites are the last two.  I can't decide which one I like best.

spiral-y macro morning glories

I'm digging these about-to-open morning glories... I love the shallow depth-of-field... Although I think the pink ones may need a square crop... maybe...

macro morning glories part one + a dahlia

So I keep shooting morning glories, and I'm ending up with more that I hate than that I like... I kinda like these.  I think I might have a few from yesterday that I like better, but I'm still editing those... I have to say, I do LOVE the colors in these...

TTV Morning Glories

A couple days after the first few morning glories showed up, there were several more, and I played around a little more with the Brownie.  

As I said before, since these particular morning glories have sprouted up from seeds from last year's flowers, I never know exactly what colors they'll be.   It's starting to look like these along the shed will be light pink, magenta/hot pink, and dark purple.  purple not pictured ;)

These images are "small" because when I tried to make them larger, the colors got all wonky... Thanks Blogger... (I went back to old posts and apparently this is not new.  Just hasn't been as noticeable before...)

Not only that, but the colors are already not that accurate, despite my efforts to correct them in Photoshop.  Could be due to a couple things- the fact that the flowers are in open shade, or the old/imperfect Brownie lens/viewfinder... OR maybe because of my Nikon.  I've seen a couple of mentions that some digital cameras, Nikons in particular, have some trouble accurately capturing reds and purples.  Not sure how accurate those theories are, or if that's the case here, but I guess it's possible.  One more argument for film!  (Of course, different films have different biases but at least you're not stuck with one!)

Anyway:

And one non-TTV shot:

Thanks for looking! :)

TA-DA! The first morning glories!

So, I've become a little bored with my "garden updates"... I probably won't do anymore...

BUT, the first morning glories have opened!  This is why I like morning glories.  They're easy, and they grow ridiculously fast!  So while most of the rest of my flowers were duds, I have my daisies and my morning glories, so I'm happy.  And you'll probably see photos of those once in a while...

I went back through my photos and found the ones I took of the shed at various times.  Here are a few:

Here's what it looked like just 2 months ago on April 24th:

About a month ago on May 19th:

 A week and a half later on May 31st:

A week later on June 8th, at a bit of a different angle, but you can see the BIG difference!:

Here's one of 3 buds I found yesterday:

Here's what the shed looks like today:

I guess I'm a nerd, but I think it's kinda cool to see the progress....

Anyway, a couple more photos that I took at the crack of dawn this morning:

I really love how the new twirls itself around the old.  The old vines, and the old crumbly shed.  There's something kind of beautiful about it. 

And this last one, it looks kinda cool- the light wasn't that bright yet, and I moved (only because I was being snacked on by mosquitoes) but I've never had movement look quite like this.  It almost looks like a double exposure.  Kind of.  Anyway. I like it:

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my silly flower photos! :)
