When I took this photo of more Calibrachoa flowers the resulting image didn’t even look real to me. But I must give neon flowers their due.

This is another image from a print block I cut recently.

I am playing with some soft print blocks and the “burst” part is an image from one of those I cut yesterday. The rest are applied with a palette knife. Then I did some background painting with transparent paint.
I am using the print blocks in a larger painting that is ongoing, but as I print sample images I thought, it’s a daily jane!

Another maturing coneflower, with another in the blurry background. It looks smaller because it’s farther away, but I just liked the composition.

I have planted this annual (Victoria Blue Salvia) for years and years at our old house, so I’m continuing the tradition here. For a long time I didn’t think these were going to thrive in our heavy clay here. But now they are looking much better and have adapted, apparently. Can’t wait until these buds are in full bloom and rich color!

Beautiful coneflower. Quiet colors, getting ready to burst out.

I have been fascinated by the balloon flower this spring, as we have a few of these in our new backyard. Here are three stages of them. Love the colors and shapes…once again! Be sure to click on the images to see the larger versions.

This is another one of the endless ways to zoom and crop a coneflower in various stages of maturity. Love the colors and shapes.

Although the 7-day nature photo challenge is over, I continue to take backyard flower and plant photos. This time an insect photo-bombed a coneflower. I am not really a bug-lover, but look at those antennae—they’re like antlers! Gotta love that. In my brief search I didn’t find out what type of beetle this is, but it’s very interesting!

This is a close-up of a purple Calibrachoa (baby petunia) that turned out to be blurred (due to wind). But the colors were so wonderful, so I zoomed in anyway and cropped to accentuate the glowy blur of colors.
