WordPress Photo Challenge: Evanescent
Weather Warning: 28th May – Thunderstorms and Heavy Rain!
When I saw the forecast for yesterday evening, I wanted to photograph some of our most colourful garden flowers before they were battered down by the elements.

As it turned out, neither thunderstorms nor particularly heavy rain came our way.
Today these flowers look more or less the same as they did yesterday.
But then, no-one ever said that evanescence is an overnight phenomenon, did they?
I got the idea for this post from fellow blogger Mitchell Webster at Heritage Basket Studio who posts some wonderful macro images. It’s well worth visiting his blog.
Your flowers are truly beautiful – such vibrant colours and great macro photography by the way – and I’m glad they weren’t battered by the elements but kept safe for even more photos 🙂
Thank you so much. The bees are enjoying them right now.
Beautiful macro images Helen and such lovely colours ☺
Thank you Xenia.
Gorgeous macro Helen. 😀
Thank you Cee. That means a lot to me, especially coming from you. ❤️
Great captures! I love close-up shots of flowers.
Thanks Laurie. When I take flowers in their entirety I never get it right and they don’t look as nice as they should.
Yes, it is hard to get a good picture of masses of flowers.
Even when I’m extra careful putting a bunch of flowers into a vase, it always looks as though I’ve done it blindfold with one hand tied behind my back.
Thanks Chris
Stunning macro images! Details are so beautifully captured. 🙂
Thanks Amy. I can only do macro photos of flowers! Taking the whole of the flowers or a few together is not one of my talents.
Absolutely exquisite photos. A genuine joy to behold!
Oh thank you. How very kind of you to say that. I’m pleased to share them.
Thanks for sharing. I love how you have composed the shots. The offset draws the eye into the detail perfectly.
Thanks, I learned that at night school. My tutor would be pleased to hear that I was listening.
As a teach I am delighted to hear you were an attentive pupil 🙂 Best wishes to you! TJ
Thank you. I’m now a retired teacher…..this is even better than being a working teacher
Stunning pictures of these beautiful flowers Helen
Thanks Paul. We don’t have to go far to see beautiful things do we ?
